Tickets for his expected first match on Friday for Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup are selling as much $110,000, according to a search on ticket reselling website Vivid Seats. That’s one of the most expensive ticket prices ever recorded for a MLS team.

Prices for some seats soared after the soccer superstar officially signed with the Major League Soccer team on Saturday in a deal reported to be worth between $50 to $60 million per year.

Still, there are much cheaper options available for Friday’s game. The average price is $487, and some fans are traveling nearly 700 miles to see the match against Mexican team 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.

Prices for Messi’s MLS debut on August 20 against Charlotte are averaging $288, according to Vivid Seats, surging nearly 900% since early June when speculation began that Messi was coming to the US. 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 seven times and was part of the World Cup winning Argentinian side last year. His deal includes an option for part-ownership of the club and a cut of the revenue from new subscribers to Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass streaming service, according to multiple reports.

In an unveiling event Sunday, Messi said he’s “very excited” to be in Miami. “I come here with the same desire to compete, desire to win and help the club to continue to grow,” he told a packed stadium.

“Messi mania” extends beyond the field, too. Hard Rock Cafe unveiled last week the “Messi Chicken Sandwich,” which is a crispy Milanese-style fried chicken breast that’s topped with melted provolone. The sandwich is now on sale at its hotels and restaurants.

Lionel Messi’s unveiling at Inter Miami has become the most-watched football presentation in the world. With this, Messi has broken Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of unveiling at Al Nassr. Despite being at the gay end of their illustrious careers, both Messi and Ronaldo continue to compete for fans’ attention across the globe.

The most watched football presentation worldwide is now Lionel Messi’s unveiling at Inter Miami, which has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo‘s at Al Nassr.

In spite of being in the latter stages of their illustrious careers, both these football legends continue to compete for the attention and support of fans across the world.

The Portuguese superstar abruptly changed teams last summer, signing the most-paid football deal ever with Al Nassr.

The record-breaking contract offer made to Ronaldo was just the beginning. The globe stopped to watch Ronaldo’s reveal and presentation at MrSool Park in Riyadh, where he once again established a new record. The Al Nassr presentation featuring the Portuguese forward attracted more than 3 billion viewers worldwide.

The presentation about world football attracted the most viewers ever. The 2022 World Cup final received 1.12 billion viewers, which was the most ever, but Ronaldo’s Al Nassr presentation attracted more viewers.

Lionel Messi’s announcement at the MLS club set a new standard, beating Ronaldo’s Al Nassr presentation by over 500 million viewers and garnering 3.5 billion views, albeit with fewer social media followers than the Portuguese player.

It is not shocking that more people are watching Lionel Messi’s presentation now. Since he announced that Inter Miami would be his new team for the next phase of his career, the attention of Messi fans in MLS has skyrocketed.

Messi’s new club became the most followed sports team in the US (on Instagram), with a six-fold rise in followers from 1 million to 6 million.

However, Inter Miami’s development bursts and fanbase are not the only factors in the astounding viewing of Lionel Messi’s performance.

Apple MLS Season Pass has apparently seen a phenomenal increase in new subscribers, and ticket prices for MLS games have increased significantly, with the cheapest now costing $329 after an astounding 1034% increase.

shut up. He was only responding to questions asked. Nobody gives a fawk about your dwarf.

This pretender cant just get out of Messi's back end. Obviously his footballing abilities may have faded but his blabbering skills remain top-notch.

Blud was so pained by Goat's record breaking unveiling at Inter Miami last night that he had to play party-spoiler.

Pendu, it wasnt you bringing in all those players to the Emirates, it was Saudi's billions as bait and you as a catch......along with the others.

The GOAT was offered more than twice of the camel wrestler's package, but he rejected all that because Messi cannot be bought!

China has gone this route before, Saudi is doing same. Nothing pioneering about that. At the end of the day, MLS is still ranked leagues above the Saudi league.

And for the diss at European football, it's not surprising after his beg-a-thon to several European clubs to rescue him from imminent slide into oblivion. Sacrificed his long time agent and ally Jorge Mendes on an altar of bruised ego.

Messi meanwhile voluntarily chose Miami after rejecting strong European interest.

Numerouno94 thanks for the tag bro.

Numerouno94:
@Almiron, so Pendu and his boys chop 5 zero recently? Chai!!😂😂😂

dreamxhaser:
Fool! Big fool you are

They asked him a question, he answered and you are insulting him for it?

obonujoker:
So make him praise league wey no get relegation over a league wey dey pay an over 200M?

Numerouno94:
It's like Pendu keeps seeing Messi in his dreams. Messi went to MLS to stay away from the spotlight and raise his children, yet one witch still they disturb Messi.

Jux imagine person without a world cup is talking down on someone wit one and wit a two world cup golden ball.lol.

Pendu will die wen Messi is given his 8 ballon d'Or, even though Messi said his not interested.

Jealousy go finally kill Pendu.

Bro, it's bn a while. How re u?

Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that the Saudi Pro League is better than Major League Soccer following Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami.

Since the move of Ronaldo to the Middle East, several high-profile players have followed in his footsteps this summer with Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Roberto Firmino and former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard among those who have made the move to Saudi Arabia.

Messi, however, xhose a differentcpath as he was unveiled as Inter Miami’s new signing on Sunday evening after the Argentine World Cup winner opted to leave Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer earlier this summer.

Speaking after Al-Nassr were beaten 5-0 by Celta Vigo in a pre-season friendly on Monday evening, Ronaldo categorically ruled out a return to European football and believes several leagues have dropped in quality.

“No, that door is completely closed,’ Ronaldo told Portuguese media when asked about a potential return to a European club.

‘I’m already 38-and-a-half years old and it’s not worth it.

‘In my way of seeing football, I think Europe has lost a lot of quality. The only league that for me has a lot of quality and is at a higher level than all the others is the Premier League.

‘The Spanish league does not have that great quality. The Portuguese league is a good league, but it is not a top, top league. The German league I think has also lost a lot. I’m sure I won’t play in Europe again. I want to play in Saudi Arabia.

Asked about a possible move to MLS, Ronaldo replied: ‘I think the Saudi league is much better than the United States. My team is Al-Nassr.’

The former Man United and Juventus star also believed he has been the catalyst for several other players to make the move from Europe to Saudi Arabia this year.

“100 per cent. It’s a fact,’ Ronaldo said.
