The probable Premier League championship match for Chelsea puts the Black Market tickets to a different value at the Hawthorns on Friday, as the tickets are being offered for sale at up to £1,800. The match tickets for the Friday’s game have a normal ticket value of £30 but as per the British media the touts are cashing in on the fact that Chelsea can clinch the Premier League title by beating West Bromwich Albion.

The away section is officially sold out but second-hand online sellers are still touting tickets at extortionate prices — despite this being the first season of the Premier League’s £30 price cap policy on away tickets.

The cheapest away ticket is currently £540. The most expensive is £1,789. In another website, had tickets at £950.

When Leicester City won the title last year, touts demanded as much as £8,000 a ticket from fans who wanted to be at their final game of the season at the King Power Stadium.
Albion still have some home tickets for sale — but only for fans with a history of going to matches at the Hawthorns.
West Brom will not put those remaining seats on general sale — a step they also took for Sir Alex Ferguson’s final game as Manchester United boss — to help prevent crowd trouble.
Albion admit some tickets may end up on the black market but any Chelsea fans who end up in the home sections risk being ejected as a safety measure.
