'Sold out' tickets to see Messi play his first match with Inter Miami
Information is posted on the Goal page. According to a survey by this newspaper, the price of tickets to the DRV PNK stadium has become scarce and unusually increased in recent days.
The average price for a ticket against Cruzl Azul is $487, which is more than double the price of tickets when Inter Miami played a friendly against La Liga champions Barca last summer. But Vivid Seats - a website that specializes in finding and reselling football tickets - is currently for sale for $ 110,000.
Last weekend, the Inter Miami homepage confirmed that the rookie duo Messi and Sergio Busquets could play the Cruz Azul match in the Leagues Cup at DRV PNK's home ground. This is an annual tournament that has been launched since 2019 between clubs from the American Professional Football League (MLS) and Mexico's Liga MX in North America.
The demand for tickets to see Messi play the first match at the American Professional Football League (MLS) against Charlotte FC on August 21 has also increased sharply, and is being sold for about $ 288. This number is expected to increase sharply in the near future, if Messi achieves high performance in the Leagues Cup.
Goal said the ticket price to watch Inter Miami has increased by nearly 900% since the club confirmed the signing of Messi on a free transfer on June 7.
Not only tickets, Messi's jerseys are also welcomed by fans. Because it is not yet available for sale on Inter Miami's homepage, fans can only buy Messi's No. 10 shirt at the store at DRV PNK for $ 199.
Spanish newspaper Marca predicts Messi's shirt sales will break the all-time MLS revenue record.
At the new club, the Argentine star will receive a salary of 50 million to 60 million USD per year. The total value of his contract for two years will range from $125 million to $150 million. He also gets paid a share of revenue from new subscriptions to watch MLS on Apple TV, as well as a portion of the increase in profits of sportswear company Adidas in the US.
On the evening of July 16, Messi made his debut at Inter Miami, in a ceremony called "The Unveil" on the DRV PNK pitch. Here, the owner of seven Golden Balls thanked the fans, new teammates, and Inter Miami leadership for the grand welcome, and affirmed the desire to win to help the club continue to develop.
