Premier League Probes Boehly’s Vivid Seats Links

The Premier League has contacted Chelsea FC to clarify chairman Todd Boehly's involvement with Vivid Seats, a ticket resale platform labeled 'unauthorised' by the league. Boehly, who holds significant stakes in both Chelsea and Vivid Seats, has come under fire from fans and the Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST) over perceived conflicts of interest, particularly as Chelsea tickets have appeared on Vivid for up to £20,000. The CST alleges a breach of trust and has urged both the Premier League and UK government to investigate. Premier League CEO Richard Masters confirmed ongoing discussions with Chelsea and promised to respond to supporters once the issue is resolved. While Chelsea has acted against ticket touting by cancelling memberships linked to reselling, the club has not directly addressed Boehly's connection to Vivid. The controversy has also highlighted wider concerns about fan experience and ticket pricing at Stamford Bridge.
