Chelsea FC's Supporters Clubs' policy stipulates that for games that they sell on loyalty points, Supporters Club members must meet a CFC loyalty points requirement in order to be eligible to order a ticket.

This requirement is as follows:

For games played from the start of the season until 31st December - Members 10 | Season Ticket holders 52.

For games played from 1st January to the end of the season - Members 20 | Season Ticket holders 62.

This requirement is usually less than the points that would be required to purchase directly from Chelsea in the relevant sales window.

The club also operates its own loyalty point system (Eastern Blues points) which is used when our ticket allocation is oversubscribed. This is outlined in a separate question below.

Eastern Blues is an Official Supporters Club with a Platinum Ticketing Level, which means we are given the highest priority for match tickets.  

On occasions the match ticket allocation that Chelsea gives to Supporters Clubs is oversubscribed. If the club does not receive its full allocation of tickets for a match, then tickets are issued using a loyalty points system, with priority going to those holding the EB+ membership tier and using club travel. 

Tickets are allocated to members based on their membership tier, if they are using club travel and the number of Eastern Blues (EB) points they hold. Members are initially spilt into four groups with each group being sorted by the member with the highest number of EB points, working down to the lowest.  

• Group 1: EB+ members & using club travel to the match. 

• Group 2: EB+ members & not using club travel to the match. 

• Group 3: Standard members & using club travel to the match. 

• Group 4: Standard members & not using club travel to the match. 

If there is no club travel for the match, then there will only be two groups. 

• Group 1: EB+ members. 

• Group 2: Standard members. 

 Tickets are allocated starting with group 1 and the member with the highest number of EB points, working down to the lowest. Then continuing this process with groups 2, 3 and 4 if applicable until our ticket allocation is exhausted. 

This system is in place to reward members who take an active part in the club. You earn Eastern Blues points for purchasing match tickets, using club travel and attending club events.  

We are not a ticket agency. If you are purely looking for match tickets and not wanting to take part in the Supporters Club and the many benefits that it offers, then we are probably not for you! 

Any member who we unable allocate a ticket to will be informed so they have the opportunity to purchase a ticket from Chelsea directly in their online sale. 

EB+ is a membership tier that is being introduced for the 2024/25 season to give ticket priority to members who take an active part in the club, ahead of those that just want to purchase match tickets and bring the focus back onto the club/community element. Full details on EB+ and how you qualify for it can be found here.

There is no requirement to use club transport, however we encourage it! Its a fun way to meet new members and make the journey more enjoyable. Also in cases where the Supporters Clubs allocation is oversubscribed and we do not receive our entire ticket order, using club travel forms part of the priority with the allocation process.

Yes, you still earn Chelsea loyalty points when purchasing tickets through the club, just as you would if you purchased directly from Chelsea.

All payments to the club for match tickets and travel can either be paid via direct debit, or BACS directly into the club's bank account. Membership fees, and any merchandise orders you may place, are paid for using a credit or debit card.
