Shakhtar Donetsk plays its European "home" games here
🏆 European games ✅ Public sale
How: Shakhtar sells its four 'home' league-phase games at Stamford Bridge as a four-match package. Stage 1 (21-24 Aug) was priority access for Chelsea season ticket holders, Chelsea members and Ukrainian fans who bought Shakhtar UK tickets in the last two seasons (from GBP 185); Stage 2 (from 4pm 24 Aug) was general sale to the public via tickets.shakhtar.com (from GBP 218); a Stage 3 from 28 Aug has no detail on the page. Dynamic pricing; whether packages are still available now is not stated.
€54–€64adult, a European league-phase game (see the note)
Package prices from GBP 185 (priority) / GBP 218 (general) for all four games, i.e. about GBP 46-55 a game, x1.17 = EUR 54-64; per-game prices are not published and rise with dynamic pricing. VIP from GBP 1,233 for four. Chelsea's own page redirected to a login so was not read; footballgroundguide quoted Chelsea's GBP 185 bundle for its season ticket holders and members.
European tickets on the official Shakhtar Donetsk siteEuropean tickets are sold game by game, often early, in packages or only to registered fans, and many are sold out by now.
The labels: ✅ Open sale = ordinary league games reach general sale · 🟡 Rules vary = members go first, some games reach general sale · 💳 Members only = a club card or membership is effectively needed · 🪪 = named tickets. They describe the club's usual league games, not one particular match: derbies and big games can be much harder.
Only buy from the club or its official partners. Unofficial resale sites charge far more and tickets can be cancelled at the gate. Prices are a guide and change by opponent; the club's site has the real price.
Want it all sorted?
Hospitality means a guaranteed seat with food and drink, and it's the legal way to a sure ticket for a big game.
Chelsea: official hospitality from about €151 a person, sold by the club or its authorised agents.
Stadium tours
No game that weekend? Most big grounds run tours and museum visits most days, including the dressing rooms and the tunnel.
