Yet again Chelsea FC season ticket holders in certain rows at the back of the Matthew Harding Upper Stand will be displaced for the Champions League Knock out stages. This comes on top of an exorbitant rise in ticket prices for the group stages. We expect the club to address these problems by:
1) Allowing Season Ticket Holders in these rows to retain their seats for all games in the Champions League. If the club cannot allow allow this then these ticket holders should have first refusal on seats elsewhere in the ground before they go on sale to other club members.
2)Providing a clear justification for the reasons why these seats are not being used during Champions League games, which goes beyond merely stating that this is a UEFA directive. The reasons given by UEFA and why Chelsea do not challenge this must be made clearer.
3) Reduce the cost of ticket prices for Champions League games.
The feedback received from those affected by these seating displacements confirms that this is a widespread frustration among the loyal fanbase. Conversations are currently underway to ensure the club addresses the lack of transparency regarding UEFA directives. We remain committed to seeking a formal explanation for these recurring inconveniences.

The response to this petition has demonstrated a clear consensus among those impacted by the current seating policies. This momentum confirms that our concerns regarding transparency and fair access require immediate attention from the club.

UEFA directives are just an excuse. The club needs to stand up for the fans for once instead of chasing every extra penny.
