Prem club set record for most expensive ticket EVER for Man Utd game as fans say ‘that used to be a transfer fee’
CHELSEA have set a record for the most expensive ticket in Premier League history.
The Blues are charging £5,000 for a seat to watch the clash against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
The expensive seats are located behind Mauricio Pochettino‘s dugout during the match in April.
Chelsea supporters will also get a padded seat and access to the Players’ Arrival experience.
A matchday programme and drinks vouchers are also on offer to people who stump up the money.
Fans have slammed the revelation as they flocked to social media.
One commented: “Charging so much for Pochball is a crime.”
A second wrote: “Sounds like something you’d see on The Apprentice.”
A third posted: “This place is going to be fun once the season ticket renewals come in.”
A fourth said: “£5,000 a game works out at £55 a minute, or almost £1 a second (92p).”
