Stamford Bridge tickets

The four stands each have their own history and number of tiers:

• Matthew Harding Stand: behind the north goal, on two tiers. Opened in 1994 as the North Stand and renamed in 1996, it is where the club says many of the most vocal Chelsea fans sit, above all in the lower tier, which has rail seating for safe standing.
• Shed End (South Stand): behind the south goal on the Fulham Road side, on two tiers, opened in 1997, also with rail seating. Home supporters share it with the away section, so “Shed End” on a ticket does not mean you are sitting with the visitors.
• East Stand: along the east touchline, on three tiers. Opened in 1974, it is the oldest part of the stadium and houses the tunnel, the dugouts and the dressing rooms.
• West Stand: along the west touchline, the largest stand, completed in 2001, with about 13,500 seats in lower, middle and upper tiers plus executive boxes and hospitality suites.

Visiting clubs have described their Shed End allocation as the lower tier only, or as both tiers, and the Shed Upper lift sits inside the away section. The standard league allocation is about 3,000, and away fans take the whole stand for domestic cup ties.

On Hellotickets, “Shortside” listings are behind a goal, in the Matthew Harding Stand or the Shed End, and “Longside” listings are in the East or West Stand, with “Central” near halfway; some use the club's own area names, such as Westview. A Shortside listing at the Shed End can sit next to the away section, so check the block before you pay. The Stamford Bridge seating plan takes each stand in turn.

• Underground: Fulham Broadway, on the District line, is the nearest station and has lift access. If you change at Earl's Court, take a Wimbledon-bound train.
• Overground: West Brompton and Imperial Wharf, on the Mildmay line, are each about a 15-minute walk, according to the club.
• Bus: routes 14, 211 and 414 stop on Fulham Road outside the stadium.
• River: the closest Thames pier is Chelsea Harbour.

Fulham Road is closed to traffic from 90 minutes before kick-off, and the ticket office is behind the Shed End. Turnstiles open two hours before weekend kick-offs and 90 minutes before evening ones; there is no re-admittance and no entry after the 60th minute. Home supporters get in with digital tickets on the Chelsea Official App.

The A4 bag limit (30cm x 20cm x 10cm) is strictly applied for 2026/27, every bag is searched and the club has no bag storage, though an independent bag drop operates at Fulham Broadway Shopping Centre. The stadium is cashless, and under-16s must be with someone aged 18 or over. Pubs near the ground do not admit away fans: the club points visiting supporters to Earl's Court, about 25-30 minutes' walk away.

Chelsea's matchday hospitality is sold as Club Chelsea. The West Stand, the largest at the ground, holds the executive boxes and hospitality suites as well as its lower, middle and upper tiers of seats.
