Hospitality Packages Confuse Me

Hello! I'm getting married at the end of the month and my (soon-to-be) wife and I are planning a honeymoon to London (among other places) for March or April of 2027.

I'm from the US and have been a Chelsea fan since I was about 10 and first discovered Premier League games on TV. I have never been to London, but seeing Chelsea play at the Bridge has been a dream of mine for years.

So this morning I got on the Chelsea website and started looking for tickets. The only option I'm seeing, though, is the Hospitality Packages, the cheapest of which are like £400/person. I know there has been some *discontent* around ticketing since Clearlake took over, but I never really looked into it because I'm so far removed from needing tickets normally.

I regret that now.

In the US when I want tickets to a game, I usually get them through a 3rd party seller like Stubhub, but a quick Google search says that may be problematic for Premier League tickets.

So now I'm lost. Surely £400+ Hospitality packages aren't the only ways to get tickets to a single match, right?

Could someone point me in the right direction to go about finding tickets (assuming the Hospitality packages are not the only option)?

Thanks!

Note to Mods: I am not asking to buy tickets in this post -- I know that is against subreddit rules. I'm just trying to figure out the mechanics behind finding tickets, which, as far as I can tell, is NOT against the rule.

Do you like "Lys"? Yes or No?

My coworker's Teams chat was failing her today right after she broke out a new pet name for everyone's (least) favorite pixie. With her unable to answer, I resorted to middle school tactics and tossed a note right over our shared cube wall.

(Note: She just started Dark Age, so I'll update as she progresses through DA/LB)

I need a new audiobook...

I feel as though I'm running out of good audiobooks. I know, that's an absurd statement, and I know I'm not *actually* running out, I'm just having trouble finding ones I like.

I'm about to DNF Gardens of the Moon, by Steven Erikson. I'm SURE this is a great book and I plan to try reading a physical version, but I'm struggling to keep up with/find the plot in audio format.

Audiobooks I've loved include:

- Red Rising (whole series) by Pierce Brown

- Dungeon Crawler Carl (whole series -- yes, I've already finished Parade of Horibles) by Matt Dinniman

- The Locked Tomb by Tamsyn Muir

- Night Angel, (trilogy + sequels) by Brent Weeks

- Lightbringer, by Brent Weeks

- Nevernight, by Jay Kristoff (no, the vampire series by Kristoff doesn't interest me)

- Patterns of Shadow and Light, by Melissa McPhail (RIP Melissa! :/ )

- The Rook and the Rose series by M.A. Carrick

- The Bladeborn Saga, by T.C. Edge

- Scholomance series, by Naomi Novik

- the bulk of the Witcher books

Audiobooks I enjoyed, but largely because I like the narrator:

- Arcane Ascension (and all the tangentially related side stories), by Andrew Rowe

- Like everything by Davis Ashura ... too many spinoff series to mention

- All of Michael Wiseheart's stuff, again, lots of prequels and spinoffs etc

I DNFed Stormlight Archive like 3/4 into book 3? I didn't mind it, just lost interest. And Michael Kramer's voice puts me to sleep lol. Same with Wheel of Tome... I'm praying the Rosamund Pike versions keep coming out even though the show is canceled.

There are plenty of titles I have read that I didn't mention, but the lists were already getting long.

Any recommendations are much appreciated!
