Best prices for Chelsea FC vs Bournemouth tickets? (Compare deals and save money)
So yesterday I was itching to watch Chelsea play Bournemouth live. Figured I’d share exactly how I hunted down the cheapest tickets because man, prices can get wild.
Where I Started Looking
First thing I did was open like five browser tabs at once. Checked all those usual reseller spots fans talk about in Facebook groups. Immediately noticed huge price differences – same section but £15-20 gaps between sites! Also saw some shady listings saying “official” but with crazy fees tacked on later.
My Comparison Strategy
Made a dumb little spreadsheet since my brain can’t remember numbers. Typed out:
- Seating zones that won’t bankrupt me
- Delivery fees (some charge £10 just to email a PDF!)
- Last-minute vs advance pricing
Turned out “Shed End” tickets had the biggest swings. One site wanted £75 + £15 fee while another had £82 including all fees. Simple math but almost missed it.
Patience Paid Off
Here’s the kicker – almost bought overpriced tickets when I got a notification on my phone. Some season ticket holder released two seats 15 minutes prior. Snagged them at face value plus small admin fee. Total win! Walked my dog while refreshing that app though.
What Actually Worked
Final game plan that saved cash:
- Bookmark alerts on three sites
- Avoided premium sections near halftime
- Double-checked fees before checkout
Ended up paying 40% less than my first cart attempt. Felt like winning a mini lottery. Still can’t believe people pay those tourist prices!
