Tickets Sold Out For Chelsea-Wrexham Match at Kenan Stadium

After just four days, tickets for the Chelsea vs. Wrexham soccer match at Kenan Stadium have sold out. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, July 19.

“The excitement around this match has been incredible,” said Molly Pendleton, Head of Touring Business and Operations for Unified Events, which is hosting the match along with Florida Citrus Sports. “As a North Carolina native and Tar Heel grad, I cannot wait to see Kenan Stadium packed with Chelsea and Wrexham fans this July.”

A portion of every ticket sold will be donated to the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinic at UNC Children’s Hospital. That donation is expected to exceed $150,000.

“It’s no surprise that the pairing of global football and one of American college football’s great venues is a hot ticket,” said Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan. “This a must-see match on the summer soccer calendar in America.”

Fans who missed out on a ticket to the match may still get an opportunity to see the teams. Unified Events and the FC Series are “working on” hosting an open training event between the teams before match day, according to an official release.
