What are the benefits?

There are a number of benefits to joining Eastern Blues. Full details on our two membership options along with their benefits are detailed here.

How do I join?

The membership year runs from 1st June - 31st May.

Can children join?

Yes, we are a family based Supporters Club and have many existing members who are children. Eastern Blues membership is free for under-18's.

What is the membership fee for?

The membership fees cover the costs of running the club. We pay an annual affiliation fee to Chelsea, along with this there are other costs such running events, banking & payment fees and costs for equipment, postage, printing, back-end systems and our website.

New members receive an exclusive Eastern Blues members pin badge and digital membership card.

Eastern Blues Official Chelsea Supporters Club is run on a not-for-profit basis and exists entirely for the benefit of its members. Any surplus funds are reinvested into the club and returned to members throughout the season through subsidised travel, subsidised or free events, competitions, and other member benefits.

What is EB+?

EB+ is a membership tier that is accessible to any member that has attended a minimum of 25% of the club events in the previous season on a rolling basis.

By taking an active part in the club and becoming an EB+ member you will have access to request match tickets through the dedicated Supporters Club ticket application window, subject to club and Chelsea FC membership requirements. EB+ is only available to Chelsea members (True Blue+, True Blue, CFC Blue or Junior Blue) who meet the requirement of event attendance.

It is not available to season ticket holders as stipulated in the Chelsea Official Ticketing Supporters Club policy.

We're proud to be a thriving supporters' community first and foremost. While EB+ Membership offers access to the Supporters Club ticket application window, Eastern Blues is not a ticket agency.

How do I qualify for EB+?

We would welcome you to join Eastern Blues as a social member. In your first season you will need to attend a minimum of 25% of the clubs event (3 out of 12) in order to be eligible to qualify for EB+ in the next season. This criteria is on a rolling basis, based on your event attendances in the previous season.

How do I order tickets and travel?

EB+ members will have access to a dedicated Supporters Club ticketing application window via the Chelsea ticketing system.

Both Social and EB+ members will have access to our online members area, where you will be able to order club travel, purchase event ticket and more!

Are there any loyalty point requirements to order match tickets?

The Chelsea Official Ticketing Supporters Club policy stipulates that for games that they sell on loyalty points, Supporters Club members must meet a CFC loyalty points requirement in order to be eligible apply for a ticket in the Supporters Club ticket application window.

This requirement is as follows:

Home games - 10 points

Away games - 20 points

Please note this is only for games that Chelsea sell on loyalty points.

This requirement is usually less than the points that would be required to purchase directly from Chelsea in the relevant sales window.

Am I guaranteed tickets?

In short, no!

Eastern Blues is an Official Supporters Club with a Platinum Ticketing Level, which means we are given the highest priority for match tickets.

If you are an EB+ member you will be eligible to purchase up to 8 match tickets across home and away games via the Supporters Club ticket application window. Any purchases made outside of this, such as via the members ticket application window are not counted towards this total.

We are not a ticket agency. If you are purely looking for match tickets and not wanting to take part in the Supporters Club and the many benefits that it offers, then we are probably not for you! 

Do I have to use club transport?

There is no requirement to use club transport, however we encourage it! It's a fun way to meet new members and make the journey more enjoyable, along with the added convenience of getting dropped off right outside Stamford Bridge for home games!

Do I still receive Chelsea loyalty points?

Yes, you still earn Chelsea loyalty points when purchasing tickets through the Supporters Club ticket application window.

How do I pay?

Any payments for match tickets are made directly to Chelsea FC. Payments for travel can either be paid via direct debit, or Pay by Bank into the club's bank account. Membership fees, events, and any merchandise orders you may place, are paid for using a credit or debit card.
