Fans have been anticipating his visit for weeks, and they can’t wait to see the Argentine sensation in action.
Tickets for the event have seen a significant increase in price compared to months prior to Messi’s transfer to South Florida. Scalpers have been offering exorbitant prices, with some tickets being sold for as much as $110,000.
Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami comes on a two-year deal, following his departure from PSG. The agreement with the club also includes an option for part-ownership and a share of revenue from new subscribers to Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass streaming service.
