Messi tickets ‘more in-demand than any NFL team’

Tickets to watch Lionel Messi play for Inter Miami are “more in-demand than any NFL team from last season”.

Messi only joined the MLS side as a free agent this summer.

Since his arrival, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has led the team to a run of eight successive wins allowing him to capture a history-making Leagues Cup crown while also reaching the final of the U.S. Open Cup.

Messi’s next outing will be his MLS bow, with it possible that he could figure in a meeting with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday – if he is not rested for that fixture. Interest in entry passes for that game has surged, with prices soaring over $3,000 while the average ticket now costs $496.

“Messi’s MLS debut ticket featuring Messi’s Inter Miami and New York Red Bulls is more in-demand than any NFL team from last season, based on average price,” Vivid Seats’ Consumer Communications Specialist Shana Rosenthal has told the New York Post of those clamouring to catch a glimpse of the all-time great.
