The upcoming Red Bulls match against Inter Miami on Saturday night has become one of the most sought-after events due to the opportunity to witness Lionel Messi in action. Ticket prices for this MLS match have surged, with fans originally able to purchase tickets for as low as $46. However, the current average price for tickets is $496, according to ticket reseller Vivid Seats. Messi’s debut in the MLS regular season, which was initially scheduled for August 20 against Charlotte but later postponed, has amplified the significance of the game in Harrison, N.J.
Shana Rosenthal, Vivid Seats’ Consumer Communications Specialist, stated, “Messi’s MLS debut ticket, featuring Messi’s Inter Miami and New York Red Bulls, is more in-demand than any NFL team from last season, based on average price.” Lionel Messi will be joining Inter Miami in New York, adding to the excitement surrounding the event.
As of Thursday afternoon, the least expensive ticket available for entry into Red Bull Arena was priced at $363, while the highest-priced ticket was listed at $3,234. It is not surprising that the highly anticipated MLS debut of this soccer superstar is on track to become the league’s most sought-after ticket since 2009. Moreover, it is the most expensive ticket, based on average price, for a Red Bulls match in over a decade.
Vivid Seats’ data reveals that Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup match against Dallas this month holds the record for the highest average ticket price, with tickets priced at $678. The prices for tickets at Red Bull Arena have skyrocketed. Prior to this, New York City FC’s MLS Cup match against the Portland Timbers held the highest average ticket price at $597. In comparison, the average ticket price for last year’s friendly between the Red Bulls and FC Barcelona was $270.
The immense interest in this match has led Red Bulls officials to briefly consider moving the game to nearby MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. However, this idea was discarded due to a preseason game between the Jets and Giants taking place on the same night. Ultimately, team general manager Marc de Grandpré stated that their priority was to ensure the match took place at Red Bull Arena, after considering their partners and fans. Messi’s arrival has revolutionized Inter Miami and the MLS, generating an unprecedented level of interest.
Vivid Seats reported a staggering 27,037 percent increase in site traffic from June 6-7, coinciding with the rumors surrounding Messi’s potential move to Miami. Furthermore, ticket prices for Inter Miami games have experienced a significant 674 percent increase.
