Fans fume as website part-owned by Chelsea chief Todd Boehly lists Europa League final tickets for sale for £22,000

According to the Daily Mail, Vivid Seats, a company American Boehly is involved with, is selling 'prime seats' on the halfway line for £22,738 for the Manchester United vs Tottenham clash at San Mames in Bilbao on May 21.

According to IQ, Boehly owns 41 per cent of the ticket website through his company Eldridge Industries. While other tickets for the public are priced at £55 and £204, along with ones that are thousands of pounds, this is not a good look for the Chelsea co-owner - who has been widely criticised on social media as a result.

In March, Chelsea Supporters Trust complained about this connection between Boehly and the website - where the American is also a director.

Their letter reads: "As a director of Chelsea FC and part-owner, Mr Boehly's connection with Vivid Seats is totally inappropriate and significantly undermines the efforts of Chelsea FC, the Premier League, and the Metropolitan Police to combat ticket touting cost? What hard evidence do you have? Mr Boehly has been contacted directly by the CST and has been offered multiple opportunities to both publicly and privately address supporters' concerns. Neither Mr Boehly nor his representatives have, however, acted on these requests, and thousands of tickets remain for sale on the Vivid Seats website.'

It remains to be seen what the fallout will be from this, if any. In the meantime, Champions League-chasing Chelsea host lowly United in the Premier League on Friday.
