"Messi effect" in the Parc des Princes: the exorbitant prices of ticket resale

All the fans of Paris Saint Germain want to be this Saturday at the Paris Saint Germain stadium to see Lionel Messi, who is not going to make his debut yet but will be in the Parc des Princes to make a new official presentation as a star player of the French club in the preview of the match against Racing Strasbourg for Date 2 of Ligue 1. That has triggered the resale of tickets.

As reported by Le Parisien this Friday, in the hours before PSG-Strasbourg there are fans who pay up to USD 5,000 for a place, which added to the reservation costs and would amount to almost 6,000. This newspaper argues that the arrival of Messi has unleashed a madness in the French capital this week and that is also reflected in the tickets.

It is known that the Rosario star will not play at home with PSG before September 12, when the cast led by Mauricio Pochettino receives Clermont for the fifth day of the championship, but many people want to see him greet him on the east lawn Weekend.

Of the roughly 3,000 tickets available on Ticketplace, the vast majority were also reasonably priced, starting at around $ 50 each. The most significant increase in resale prices is observed especially before the Champions League matches, the competition that the French club wants to win the most, something that will be even more evident when Lionel Messi is part of the team.
