  • Chelsea legend John Terry is charging exorbitant amounts for fans to meet him
  • The retired defender will embark on a one-man tour in various cities in the coming months
  • Fans will have to cough up a fee of up to £500 if they wish to meet the superstar

Former Chelsea defender John Terry has embarked on an interesting side hustle as he is charging up to £100 for an autograph.

Terry, a former England captain, has embarked on a unique solo tour in England where he will grace a number of cities with his presence.

From the tour, an event dubbed “An Evening with Terry” will be held, where fans will get admission for £25 per ticket.

Typically, getting into an event hosted by a celebrity is all it takes to have a chance to access them and perhaps ask for a memento such as an autograph.

For this one, however, things will be a bit different as John Terry will charge £100 for an autograph to ink his signature on fans’ preferred items.

According to GOAL, there are other exclusive packages for the more extravagant fans. A sponsorship package, which involves a table of 10 individuals goes for £5,000 which translates to each member paying £500 to have a chance to dine with the Chelsea legend.

The package also puts the fans in line to possibly have an item of their choosing autographed as well as having a picture with the former defender.

While this seems like quite an extravagant way to meet a Premier League legend, The Telegraph reports that tickets in Bournemouth and London have already been sold out.

In Birmingham, fans have already sold out the the £150 "platinum package," which entails a front-row seat and a photo with Terry, but no guarantee of an autograph.

Obi Mikel’s take on current Chelsea team

Sports Brief also reported on John Obi Mikel’s take on the current Chelsea team amid the Blues’ poor start to the season.

The former Super Eagles midfielder, now aged 36, was available for the Chelsea Legends match against Bayern Munich on September 9.

Mikel was among the legends who spoke to the media after the game and he was asked about the club’s woes since the Todd Boehly consortium took over.

The Nigerian believes the Blues will be fine and need time as the club is currently going through a major transition.
