Any tips on how to get tickets. Their website says 42 days before the game then they go on sale.

I would like to get tix earlier.

Thanks for any tips.

Getting standard tickets not easy to be honest. I ended up going hospitality level to have that security.

As discussed elsewhere be careful- games can be moved from their original time to another time slot, another day that weekend, or another weekend entirely, to satisfy TV or because of conflict with other competitions- and warning can only be a few weeks beforehand sometimes. Keep clear the Friday thru Monday if you can.

I went to England for a buddies trip in March 2020 to catch a few EPL games, and we were able to see Chelsea in the last game before the pandemic shut everything down. Compared to trying to get Liverpool tickets (the only 2 out of our group of 5 that went to that game had a $$$$ hospitality package), getting Chelsea tickets was relatively simple. Now, granted, this was almost three years ago, so the procedures might have changed, but here's what I remember:

We all needed to purchase memberships to the Chelsea fan club in order to purchase tickets (I think it was like $40 a piece). Tickets went on sale a little over a month before the game, I was up at 2 am ET in a queue to purchase them and was able to do so no problem, despite not having any Chelsea loyalty points. Having a fan membership also got you access to the Chelsea ticket exchange, where tickets for the game also popped up at various points throughout the following weeks.

Again, after COVID and with the new ownership, I don't know if anything is different now than it was in 2020, but like I said it really wasn't bad compared to the nightmare of trying to go to Anfield.

I don't think you need to stay somewhere particularly close. The stadium is a five minute walk from the Fulham Broadway tube station. Just ride the Underground, which is very easy to use. Or you could walk if your hotel isn't too far away - Stamford Bridge is a bit more than an hour's walk from Picadilly Circus, for example.
