Membership stadium? Sun: Chelsea fans protest the new ticket purchase system, paid but no tickets

According to the Sun, many Chelsea fans protested the new ticket purchase system: they have paid but they may not necessarily have tickets.

Tickets for Chelsea's first round of the Premier League match against Crystal Palace have been on sale, but many Blues fans who want to buy tickets said: Although they have paid a membership fee of £60, they still cannot buy tickets.

fans said: "Chelsea's membership system is a joke now." "Can I refund my membership fee? This is the worst decision for Chelsea to date." "So Chelsea needs to take these memberships seriously." "I don't understand. Spending £60 to buy membership but can't get in."

Since last season, Chelsea began to implement a membership ticket purchase model: a fixed fee of £35 a year is required to buy tickets for home games. After just one season, Chelsea raised the fee to £40 and also launched a new premium membership level with a fee of £60, taking precedence over basic members.

This has to be reminiscent of the "ticket purchase qualification" system that Manchester United is studying for the new stadium: fans need to spend £4,000 to purchase a "license" to be eligible for season tickets.
