Premier League contact Chelsea over Boehly ticket website

The Premier League have written to Chelsea to seek clarification over the club's position with ticket re-sellers - amid controversy over Todd Boehly's involvement in Vivid Seats. Boehly is both a director and investor in Vivid, described as an "unauthorised ticket seller" by the league, and also owns a 13% stake in Chelsea. The website lists Chelsea matches on its platform, with some tickets last season at Stamford Bridge going for as much as £20,000. It is not allowed to operate in the United Kingdom, although is permissible overseas. Chelsea Supporters' Trust asked the Premier League to "act and investigate" the situation which they believe is both a "breach of trust and "a clear conflict of interest" in an open letter issued in March. Premier League CEO Richard Masters has explained they are discussing the matter with Chelsea in a situation described as "ongoing" at a Football Supporters' Association event last week. The Supporters' Trust has also submitted evidence against the American company to the government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).Boehly, Chelsea and Vivid have been contacted for further comment. Vivid CEO Stanley Chia is quoted by Sportico , externalas saying "economic and political volatility" has impacted the ticketing market as the company's share price fell by 61% this have recently pledged to take action on ticket touting, although without naming Vivid or other ticket re-sellers, which the CST letter said it was "encouraged" by. There have been concerns about a "flat" atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, highlighted by previous manager Mauricio Pochettino and echoed by current head coach Enzo Maresca at times last season, amid trials of a singing section in the Conference are currently participating in the Club World Cup in the United States and next face ES Tunis in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

We want to play some good rugby along the way,' he said. 'We'll find out more about each other as we keep on going. Of course we'll analyse what went on against Argentina and why, but that's all part of the journey – to understand where we need to go next. 'It's great to be here, this is what it's all about. We're here for a good time. Hopefully we can start this part of the tour off really well on Saturday.' Advertisement

"The hard work starts now with a week in Portugal."Excitement ahead of Euro 2025 reached new heights as Wales set off from Cardiff Airport to Portugal on Sunday afternoon, but the message from captain Angharad James was simple.'Good luck Wales' and 'C'mon Cymru' (come on Wales) were among the messages plastered across cards and banners as fans got the chance to bid farewell to those who are set to embark on what they hope will be the summer of a lifetime.A steel band played in front of the terminal entrance as players, along with head coach Rhian Wilkinson, posed for photographs with supporters and signed the dream will have started to feel even more real, with Wales holding a week-long training camp in the Algarve in preparation for their tournament opener against Netherlands in Lucerne on 5 midfielder James feels Wales are fully deserving of their place on the grandest stage."This group of players deserve this.

It's everything we've ever wanted," she 23 squad players and boss Wilkinson posed together for one final photograph for the assembled media from the aeroplane's staircase prior to boarding the Boeing aircraft itself was given one last send off prior to leaving the Welsh tarmac as it rolled between two fire and rescue trucks spraying water to give a cannon salute - traditionally reserved for a plane's first is undoubtedly aware of the scale of the task that lies ahead for Wales - who face France on 9 July and England on 13 July after their opener against the the 31-year-old issued something of a warning to those who are underestimating Wilkinson's team."We're excited for the challenge.
