I'm just being selfish as I will probably try and get a season ticket when they expand and I'm within walking distance! I've been using season tickets of friends/acquaintances for years and it suits me most of the time.
What you're saying about the local area kind of bears out based on the people I get tickets from, not entirely but often I go along with people who have a lot of resources/responsibility at work and home and it seems like they are there to escape the wife and kids and switch off for a couple of hours. There are also quite a few season ticket holders there because it's a high end sports game, they might support other teams but Chelsea is the nearest ground.
Most of the locals I know who used to be involved in supporting the club gave up going after it all went seated because of the cost/atmosphere.
