Chelsea BANNED from selling home and away tickets for matches and will have thousands of empty seats after sanctions

CHELSEA have been BANNED from selling match tickets and only season ticket holders can attend games after Russian owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government.

Abramovich, who has close ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin, has had his assets frozen leaving the European champions in limbo.

One of the results of that is Chelsea will not be allowed to sell home and away match tickets.

Only season ticket holders will be allowed to attend the Blues' remaining games for the campaign, which will affect the crowd numbers.

The Blues are believed to have around 28,000 season ticket holders but Stamford Bridge's capacity is just over 40,000.

Away fans of Chelsea's rivals could be able to attend games with Premier League chiefs working on a solution.

Chelsea could give away their away fan allocation to their opponents for FREE.

Any proceeds of the ticket sales will go directly to the Premier Leaguer and that money might then be sent to a Ukraine-based humanitarian relief.

Supporters will be allowed to buy food and drink in the ground.

But as a result of the sanctions he will now not be able to sell the club.

Chelsea's hopes of signing West Ham vice captain Declan Rice in the summer may have just come crashing down, handing a transfer boost to other interested parties.

But despite the drama surrounding the Blues off the pitch, the game against Norwich is still ON.

They head to Carrow Road for a 7.30pm kick-off in the Premier League tonight.

The club confirmed it is still going ahead with a tweet of manager Thomas Tuchel mocked up as parody radio host Alan Partridge holding a 'champions of the world' mug with the Norwich stadium in the background.
