Prices for some seats soared after the soccer superstar officially signed with the MLS team on Saturday in a deal reported to be worth between $50 to $60 million per year.
However, it was noted that there are much cheaper options available for Friday’s game. The average price is $487 (approximately Ksh 68,000), and some fans are traveling nearly 700 miles to see the match against Cruz Azul, a Vivid Seats spokesperson said.
Tickets to last year’s League Cup match between Inter Miami and FC Barcelona cost about half of that. Ticket prices overall for Inter Miami, currently dead last in the standings, have also jumped about 700% since then.
Messi, 36, is one of the most decorated athletes ever, winning the prestigious Ballon d’Or award, a record seven times and was part of the World Cup-winning Argentinian side last year.
