Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge is the home stadium of the "Blues" or Chelsea FC. The current capacity includes 42,055 spectators and currently the club's management is very interested in expanding the capacity.

Stadium Tour

You can also tour the stadium outside of football matches.

Chelsea FC sells classic tickets to tour the stadium, including the adjacent museum, where you can learn all about the club's history, present and future.

Ideally, buy your tickets online from the official website as they are cheaper than buying at the door.

There are many tours available, with the classic one including the stadium and museum costing 30 gbp.

Visit a football match

For football fans, however, a tour of the empty stadium will certainly not be enough. Always buy tickets for matches only on the official website chelseafc.com/tickets, where they are usually available about 3 weeks before a particular match.

However, depending on the attractiveness of the opponent, they often sell out right away, so be sure to monitor the site regularly and subscribe to receive information on when tickets go on sale.

Ticket prices vary, of course, according to the stadium sector, but also according to the attractiveness of the opponent and range from 30 gbp to 200 gbp.

Hotels at Stamford Bridge

If you're heading to London mainly for the Chelsea FC game, it may be most convenient to stay at one of the hotels nearby.
