A Chelsea director has defended the club's decision to hike ticket prices for Jose Mourinho's Stamford Bridge return by arguing 'we need revenue to compete' after facing a huge amount of backlash from supporters.
The Blues announced their decision to class their Champions League clash against Benfica as a Category AA fixture on Tuesday, just one week before the fixture.
It means fans will have to fork out £83 for adult general admission tickets, while there will also be a reduced amount of junior and senior concession tickets on sale.
Chelsea fans were left 'absolutely fuming' by the announcement, with many ultimately priced out of a ticket.
