Chelsea's excuse for a block on their ticket website following the sanctions imposed on Roman Abramovich.The Blues' owner has had his assets frozen by the UK government which has had a huge impact on the football club.As well as Abramovich's intended sale being halted, they can no longer sell tickets for games.That means only season ticket holders or those who have already purchased tickets will be able to attend Stamford Bridge for the foreseeable future.Chelsea staff had to move quickly to prevent any further sales on their ticket website, so blocked access to it.

However, the message on the screen read 'We are currently offline for scheduled maintenance'.One social media user wrote: "Scheduled maintenance?

Let us know in the comments section.Chelsea are also unable to generate revenue by selling merchandise.They were therefore forced to shut their club shop at Stamford Bridge too.The day-to-day running of the club has been allowed to continue thanks to a special licence given by the government.But other restrictions mean they can't hand out new contracts to existing players or make signings until at least May 31, 2022.That date is when the sanctions are currently due to expire, but it is not known at this time if they could last longer.Another problem that has arisen is getting to France next week for the second-leg of the Champions League tie against Lille.The Blues have been prohibited from spending more than £20,000 on travelling to away games, which is a very tight limit for foreign trips..
