From The Guardian:
Chelsea fans yesterday launched a campaign urging their club to cut ticket prices. Seats at the ground now cost £48 a time and on Tuesday only 29,575 watched their Champions League win against Anderlecht, more than 12,000 under capacity.
The gate was 411 fewer than attended the Championship match between Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds on the same evening and led to the Chelsea Supporters Group launching a “real prices for real fans” campaign after becoming alarmed at feedback over fees. “Despite the current period being a golden one in the history of Chelsea, [we] remain concerned that thousands of loyal and long-standing Chelsea supporters are being priced out of attending matches at Stamford Bridge,” it said in a statement.
