Chelsea have confirmed ticketing arrangements for their pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 15 August, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm.
Only the lower tier will be open initially, with additional areas made available depending on demand. Tickets are on sale online only and are restricted to Chelsea supporters.
Season ticket holders can purchase up to eight tickets from Friday 24 July between 2pm and 5pm. True Blue+, True Blue, CFC Blue and Junior Blue members join season ticket holders in a second sales window running from 5pm on 24 July through to 5pm on Monday 27 July, also with a maximum of eight tickets per person.
Should tickets remain after those windows, further announcements will follow on Tuesday 28 July. Accessible season ticket holders and members can apply from Wednesday 29 July at 10am via an online form or by phoning 0371 811 2012 or 0044 207 915 1950 for international callers.
Ticket prices for season ticket holders and members range from £30 to £40 across most sections of the ground, including the East Lower, East Upper, West Lower, Matthew Harding Lower and Upper, Shed End Lower and Upper. Under-20s, under-23s and supporters aged 66 or over receive a 25 per cent discount on the full adult price.
A family offer is available at £95 for four tickets — two adult and two junior — currently limited to the East Lower South (S3), East Lower North (S3) and West Lower (S3) sections.
