UEL final tickets sold for up to £23k via company that Chelsea chief part owns

Todd Boehly Company Sparks Fury because the Europa League offers definitive tickets for sale for more than £ 22,000 after Chelsea supporters had suggested trust 'conflicts of interest'.

The final of Europe's second -class competition has attracted great attention because two English teams will dispute – Manchester United and Tottenham – in an attempt to be eligible for a better competition next season.

It has also generated extra interest because the winner of the game will earn a place in the Champions League next season – despite the two parties currently 16th and 17th in the Premier League.

The game will take place in Bilbao on 21 May, in the Estadio de San Mames – a land with just over 53,000 people – where fans of United and Spurs are each assigned around 15,000 tickets.

That means that around 23,000 tickets will be awarded to non-supporters, where fans climb to another way to come to the game and possibly view their side a trophy.

And lively chairs, a company in which Boehly is involved,, according to Kieran Maguire, sells 'Prime seats' to the Half Line for £ 22,738.

Tickets for the public are priced at £ 55 and £ 204, while fans can also cough up thousands to guarantee their place in the game.

Other options on lively seats are priced at £ 17.054 in category one, while other tickets are each priced around £ 4,000.

According to IQ, Booy owns 41 percent of the ticket site, which is for mutual, through his company Eldridge Industries. He is director and investor, who recently described the Chelsea supporters Trust as a 'conflict of interest'.

Fans remained frustrated in the answers, with one writing: “All wrong with football at the highest level there.”

Another posted: 'Why is this allowed. Absolute shame, “while a third added:” disgusting. “

In March the supporters Trust wrote to the Premier League to express their concern about an 'inappropriate' connection.

The letter included: 'Many CST members are clearly furious with this connection and have written us.

'As director of Chelsea FC and co-owner, Mr Boehly's connection is completely inappropriate with lively seats and undermines the efforts of Chelsea FC, the Premier League and the Metropolitan Police to contradict ticket wells considerably.

'Mr Boehly was contacted directly by the CST and has offered several options to tackle both the concerns of supporters in the public and private life.

“Neither Mr Boehly nor his representatives have acted on these requests, and thousands of tickets remain for sale on the Vivid Seats website.”

Chelsea has been contacted by E -mailsport for comment.
