Founded in early 2018, Inter Miami has very few fans.
The 36-year-old legend will continue his illustrious career in the United States and although he has not yet donned the pink shirt of Inter Miami, Leo has created an unprecedented revolution in the country’s top football tournament.
When it became known that the 2022 World Cup champion could make his debut in the League Cup match against Cruz Azul on July 21, ticket prices skyrocketed.
Likewise, tickets for the August 25 match between Inter Miami and New York Red Bull, previously listed at $99, are now worth around $983 (an increase of 883%).
In addition, all tickets to watch Inter Miami’s 2023 season were officially sold out just 1 day after Messi confirmed joining the American football team.
Ticket prices to watch Messi play have skyrocketed.
The increase in ticket prices due to Messi’s appearance not only affects Inter Miami, but it also helps some MLS teams increase revenue from ticket sales.
Even big stars of American sports like Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry – veteran names in the NBA playing for the Miami Heat – were `unsettled` with the news that Messi would join Miami.
Messi was warmly received by American fans.
Meanwhile, Lowry said: `It would be great…MLS is a great league. I think they know how to do the best. Bringing one of the best players in the world here would be great.`
`I’m going to watch, obviously I’m going there (Miami), there’s the World Cup of Poker so I have to go there,` the former striker and close friend of Leo replied about his upcoming debut at Inter Miami.
