Messi effect, the price of the most expensive ticket to see him in Chicago
Inter Miami will play its next game on October 4.
Lionel Messi has been the big attraction of the MLS since his arrival at Inter Miami in mid-July. The captain of the Argentine national team had an immediate impact in the United States and, although it is not a country crossed by soccer, no one wants to miss La Pulga's matches in the pink franchise. It is enough to review the list of celebrities who came to the different stadiums to see it.
Now, the reality is that the DRV PNK Stadium, a venue located in Fort Lauderdale where the team led by Gerardo Martino is home, is too small for the demand generated by the top winner of the Ballon d'Or. However, now the '10' is next to visit Chicago Fire in a stadium that has a capacity for 63,000 spectators. Normally, the average attendance for all of Illinois is approximately 15,000 people, but official sources already anticipate that the stands will be full on October 4.
However, the surprising thing is that the stands would be full despite the high ticket prices. Dave Baldwin, president of Chicago operations, announced that ticket values range from 99 to 5,000 dollars, the latter being the most expensive price. Along the same lines, the executive believes that it will be the first time that Soldier Field is completely full. In other words, Messi continues to make history in the MLS and will once again be the main protagonist of the new record for ticket sales.
Does Messi arrive for the game against Chicago Fire?
After being absent from the US Open Cup final, Leo was also not available against New York City FC, a direct duel in the qualification for the Major League Soccer Playoffs. At this point in the regular season each game is a final, but Martino still does not risk it and has already warned that he will not hesitate to leave him out in other games.
