US EditionPremier League Contacts Chelsea over Boehly's Vivid Seats Stake
- On 22 June 2025, the Premier League reached out to Chelsea to seek clarification regarding the club’s involvement with the ticket resale platform Vivid Seats following concerns raised by supporters.
- This followed a March letter from the Chelsea Supporters' Trust urging the Premier League to investigate Todd Boehly’s involvement with Vivid Seats and ticket touting.
- Vivid Seats, an American resale platform listed as unauthorised by the Premier League, sells inflated Premier League tickets overseas but not to UK customers where such reselling is illegal.
- Chelsea cancelled 1,500 membership accounts linked to ticket touting, while fans and the Supporters' Trust called the situation a "breach of trust" and a conflict of interest concerning Boehly.
- The Premier League continues talks with Chelsea on this ongoing issue, with the club pledging recent action against ticket touting without explicitly naming Vivid Seats.
