May 11, (THEWILL) – Chelsea have announced that they will be freezing general admission season-ticket prices for the upcoming 2023/2024 season, marking the 12th consecutive year without an increase of ticket prices.
This decision comes despite the club facing escalating costs and demonstrates their deep understanding of the financial strain on supporters caused by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Acknowledging the unwavering loyalty of their fans throughout a challenging season, Chelsea have made this move as a gesture of appreciation.
Despite their failure to contend for any major silverware and their struggle to secure a top-half finish in the fiercely competitive English Premier League table, the team’s management remains committed to their loyal fan base, even after a substantial investment in players following last summer’s takeover.
The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust (CST) has warmly welcomed the announcement and expressed gratitude to Todd Boehly’s Clearlake Capital consortium for their receptive stance on season ticket prices. Dom Rosso, Vice-Chair of CST, emphasised the significance of freezing prices to reflect the current cost-of-living crisis.
Rosso applauded the club’s positive response to the trust’s appeal, recognising that the decision puts the interests of supporters first.
