Messi Mania will hit the New York City metro area Saturday, and with it brings some of the highest ticket prices in MLS history.
Although Lionel Messi has played in eight matches for Inter Miami since he officially joined the club in mid-July, he’ll make his Major League Soccer regular-season debut against New York Red Bulls in one of the most anticipated – and expensive – soccer games of the year. Saturday's match counts toward the regular-season standings, while Messi's previous eight matches (seven in the Leagues Cup, one in the U.S. Open Cup) were part of in-season tournament competitions.
