I love football and I’m a huge fan of Chelsea Footbal Club since Gianfranco Zola’s era. Watching Chelsea play live in the stadium is one of my dreams, which I have yet to materialize it.

Last year I went to Chelsea’s home stadium, Stamford Bridge, but unfortunately I couldn’t get the ticket as it’s already sold out for the match Chelsea vs Blackpool which they trashed Blackpool 4-0. Therefore, I had no choice but to watch it live on the TV at a local pub.

This year my dream will come true as I’ve got a paid of tickets for the match Malaysia XI vs Chelsea when Chelsea is coming for their Asia Tour 2011 on 21^st July 2011! All thanks to Noobie for arranging the tickets and Samsung for bringing the team to Malaysia.

Well, you can get the ticket and a Chelsea jersey free as well. Just purchase any Samsung product(s) worth at least RM300 in a single receipt and enter the SMS contest as published in the poster above. Not only you stand a chance to win a ticket to watch Chelsea live, you might get a chance to sit with the team during the match!
