In an open letter to the league’s chief executive Richard Masters, the group states that the Chelsea co-owner’s involvement in Vivid Seats as a director and investor is a “breach of trust” and “a clear conflict of interest”.
“Many CST members are clearly infuriated by this connection and have written to us,” read the letter.
“As a director of Chelsea FC and part-owner, Mr Boehly’s connection with Vivid Seats is totally inappropriate and significantly undermines the efforts of Chelsea FC, the Premier League, and the Metropolitan Police to combat ticket touting.
“Mr Boehly has been contacted directly by the CST and has been offered multiple opportunities to both publicly and privately address supporters’ concerns.
“Neither Mr Boehly nor his representatives have, however, acted on these requests, and thousands of tickets remain for sale on the Vivid Seats website.”
Boehly owns a 13% in Chelsea and approximately 41% of Vivid Seats. The site advertises resale tickets to Chelsea matches and other Premier League games, often at highly inflated prices.
Tickets for Chelsea’s last home game of the season, against Manchester United on May 18, are currently listed for as much as £2,616.
Vivid Seats is on the Premier League’s list of unauthorised ticketing websites while Chelsea has also denounced ticket touting.
CST has also submitted evidence against the American company to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.
The government department is consulting on proposals to strengthen consumer protections in regard to ticket resales.
