Limited tickets are on sale now and are available from Ticketmaster, priced at just £12 for adults and £10 juniors. Ticket sales will once again support Samaritans. Claire Duncan, from Samaritans, said:

In these tough economic times Samaritans’ service is more vital than ever, as we receive an increasing number of calls related to unemployment and financial worries. We are hoping for a sell-out event at Stamford Bridge to enable us to raise funds to keep our emotional support service running 24 hours a day.”

Last year, Pete Doherty and his Babyshambles team mates were unable to defend their title, and despite showing some impressive foot work, Babyshambles lost out 3-1 in the final match to the Faithless team. Anticipated rivals for the title, McFly, crashed out of the tournament in the semi-finals.

Celebrity teams in the 2008 event included The Wombats, The Twang, Justin Hawkins and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Michelle Heaton, Jade Goody, Dave Gorman, contestants from Big Brother, X Factor, The Apprentice and Shipwrecked. Soccer Six has also seen Oasis, Razorlight, Robbie Williams, Rod Stewart, Ant and Dec, Ian Rush and John Barnes take part.
