The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust welcomes Chelsea FC’s decision to freeze all men’s first team general admission season ticket and match-by-match ticket prices for the 2026/27 season.
This is a significant and positive decision. Following a challenging season on and off the pitch, freezing general admission prices is a sensible and welcome step that will provide certainty for match-going supporters ahead of the season ticket renewal window.
The CST has consistently made clear to the club that affordability must remain central to any ticketing policy. We therefore appreciate that the club has listened to the clear representations made by the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust and the Fan Advisory Board before reaching this decision.
This announcement demonstrates why structured and meaningful engagement between the club and supporters matters. When supporters’ views are properly heard, they can help shape decisions that have a direct impact on match-going fans.
While the freeze in general admission pricing is very welcome, the CST will continue to engage with the club and scrutinise the wider 2026/27 ticketing policy changes. We would also welcome further clarity on the timetable for confirming remaining details, including membership pricing and access arrangements. Our focus remains on ensuring that any changes to ticket access, loyalty, away ticketing, ticket utilisation and the matchday experience are fair, transparent and in the best interests of Chelsea supporters.
The CST will continue to represent the views of our members and wider match-going supporters, and work constructively with the club to ensure supporters remain at the heart of decision-making.
