Lionel Messi astonishingly equals Taylor Swift when it comes to ticket prices in the US after MLS move: Reports

According to a report by Fortune Magazine, the arrival of Lionel Messi to MLS club Inter Miami has skyrocketed ticket prices. Ticket prices for the Miami-based club’s matches have become almost equal to those of Taylor Swift’s concerts.

Messi recently announced that he will join Inter Miami as a free agent when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. Fans have gone into a frenzy since the announcement.

On a resale platform called Sseatgeek, tickets for the Inter Miami games sell for $2,600. Almost as high as the sky is the price of Taylor Swift’s concert tickets, which retail for about $2,625.

Lionel Messi is expected to make his Inter Miami debut on July 21 against Cruz Azul. The lowest ticket price for that game is about $950. Inter Miami vs. Columbus Crew game earlier that month, on July 4, was $29.

Clarence Seedorf was involved in the transfer of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami

Lionel Messi’s decision to join Major League Soccer club Inter Miami came as a surprise to many. While it was clear that he was leaving PSG, the majority expected him to return to Barcelona. The Saudi club Al-Hilal in the professional league was also associated with the player.

However, Messi would continue his career in Major League Soccer after the curtain came down on his stint in European football. Dutch legend Clarence Seedorf has now expressed his opinion on the matter. The AC Milan legend told the Astro Stadium:

“I didn’t know (signing for Inter Miami was an option for Lionel Messi). But now that I know, I think it’s a very logical decision. Messi’s tired of adapting to new places. He knows Miami very well. He’s close to South America. The Cup The world is coming to (the United States) and North America. He can speak his language. His family can speak the language and be closer to home.”

He further added:

“It’s been a very long journey for him and his family away from home. So, I can totally understand this. People ask for money, I think he’ll earn the same money wherever he goes. I’m happy for him and I wish him all the best.”

Inter Miami is in the last place of the MLS table at the moment. It remains to be seen if the arrival of Lionel Messi can inspire the team to good results in the remainder of the season.
