FIFA reportedly is slashing the cost of tickets for Inter Miami’s June 14 Club World Cup opener in an effort to fill a sizable capacity.
The Athletic reported on Wednesday that “tens of thousands” of seats are still available at the 65, 326-capacity Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, for the 8 p.m. ET game between Egyptian side Al Ahly and football legend Lionel Messi’s MLS team.
FIFA refuted the claim that under 20 000 tickets had been sold, calling it “much higher” but declining to give a specific figure.
Through the 11 American cities that host the tournament, FIFA announced in a statement that “we are introducing many new, successful clubs from all over the world to the world.” Overall, we anticipate high turnout for the competition’s first-ever edition, which we believe will grow edition-on-edition.
Tickets for that game had dropped to $55 on Ticketmaster as of Tuesday night, half of what they had been paying the previous month. According to The Athletic, the cheapest seat was $349 after the December tournament draw, but it had fallen to $ 230 by December.
The 32-team FIFA Club World Cup includes MLS affiliates Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Inter Milan, as well as MLS affiliates Inter Miami, Seattle Sounders, and Los Angeles FC.
