Let me share my experience.
I was on company trip and I did not plan ahead.
I learn that ticket release only 2 to 3 weeks before the match and sold out very quickly.
So I have no choice but to take a train down to Fulham station (yup, Chelsea Stamford Bridge directly beside it) and try my luck there.
There will be alot of people selling you scarf for the that day match and the program sheet.
I paid for both, it actually doesn't cost alot.
Nearer to the stadium I saw this guys look like Michael Chiklis (the bald guy in Fantastic4) asking for extra ticket to every one entering.
I go to him and say I don't have extra ticket but I need one and ask how much.
He ask me to wait and call some one nearby and talk to them.
He came back and told me 150pound and as a real Sg, I told him I offer him 130 pound.
He said fine and give a ticket he claim is the center of the long side.(short side will be behind the goal post area).
Well, the seat is actually quite good.
The gentlemen seated beside talked to me after the match asking how much I got the ticket?
I told him 150, and he cried out loud because the ticket belongs to his son and his son could not make it and he sold it to the tout for 30pound.
Btw, price printed on the ticket is only 27pound.
It much worthwhile for you to purchase the hospitality package as it not too far away from the tout price.
