Expensive Outings 26s1e
Below are the ten most expensive tickets found throughout the entirety of the 2024 MLS season.
It’s clear that the investments made into the Inter Miami CF squad are ‘paying off’. Six of the ten most expensive tickets available are for games with Messi, Suarez, and the lot playing. One fan, probably devastated about being unable to attend the game when LA Galaxy hosts Inter Miami CF, has put his ticket up for sale for almost $790.000. Albeit unlikely to get it sold at this price when the average ticket price for this particular game is around the $3k mark, it’s interesting to see how highly the ticket has been valued by the seller.
One of the more intriguing entries on the above list is the match-up between Charlotte FC and New York City FC, which surprisingly holds a spot among the top ten most expensive games.
