Chelsea FC: partnership with Ticketmaster to offer paperless tickets from 2025-26

Ticketmaster has become an official partner of Chelsea FC (Premier League) as part of a "multi-year" agreement, announced the club on 24/04/2025.

As part of the deal, Tickemaster will be offering fans of the English club digital tickets for matches at Stamford Bridge (40,343 capacity, London) "for the first time" from the 2025-26 season. This initiative is part of "the club’s ongoing efforts to clamp down on ticket touting."

Ticketmaster is owned by Live Nation Entertainment, an American company that organises and promotes events. Live Nation itself became a sleeve sponsor of Chelsea FC for the remainder of the 2024-25 season on 08/02/2025. The group succeeded Fever, a leisure and entertainment activity referencing platform, which had initially signed an agreement on 18/08/2024 to become a sleeve sponsor for the entire 2024-25 season, but whose logo ceased to appear on the club's kit in December 2024.
