Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Tickets for Leonel Messi’s debut match for Inter Miami on Friday in the Leagues Cup are selling as much $110,000, according to a search on ticket reselling website Vivid Seats. That\u2019s one of the most expensive ticket prices ever recorded for a MLS team.<\/p>\n

According to CNN, 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.<\/p>\n

Still, there are much cheaper options available for Friday\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Tickets to last year\u2019s League Cup match between Inter Miami and FC Barcelona cost about half of that. Prices for Messi\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Ticket prices overall for Inter Miami, currently dead last in the standings , have also jumped about 700% since then. Messi’s deal includes an option for part-ownership of the club and a cut of the revenue from new subscribers to Apple TV\u2019s MLS Season Pass streaming service, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n
