With Google reviews of 4.5 stars out of five, a spa on site and hospitality packages costing as much as £17,000, it is no surprise to see the Blues’ home home living up to Chelsea’s reputation as a location.
Matchday hospitality packages include their own private bar, kitchen, bathrooms and birds-eye views of the pitch, guaranteeing an unobstructed and uninterrupted experience during matches.
The Blues have seen their season ticket prices more than triple over the last couple of years amidst various stadium upgrades. And while the action on the pitch may leave a lot to be desired at times, at least Chelsea fans can revel in the luxuries offered at Stamford Bridge.
