Inter Miami's 2024 season ticket prices soar following Messi arrival

The Argentine forward joined the MLS club in the summer

The arrival of Lionel Messi at Inter Miami has triggered a significant surge in the club's popularity and ticket prices for the 2024 season.

Messi's presence has not only boosted social media engagement and jersey sales but has also led to a substantial increase in ticket prices and season ticket applications.

The cheapest ticket to the PNK DVR, which used to cost $25, has now skyrocketed to $280. This surge reflects the immense demand to watch Messi in action. Season ticket applications have surged by a staggering 1,215 percent, highlighting the excitement surrounding the team.

Season ticket prices for various sections have seen substantial hikes. For example, a season ticket which used to cost $3,600, will now cost $7,650 in 2024, translating to approximately $450 per game. Similarly, season tickets for the North Stand, which were priced at $485 in 2023, will now cost $884.

The most exclusive areas in the front row, situated at pitch level on the east side, are priced at $13,005 and include access to the VIP area. Meanwhile, there are more expensive box seats on the west side, which cost nearly $46,000 per season for four seats with access to the Midfield Club, offering food and beverages.

Despite the substantial price increases, Inter Miami's ticket prices for the 2024 season remain relatively affordable compared to other major sports. For instance, NFL tickets in 2022 averaged $112, while NBA tickets could range from $90 to $120 in some markets. Inter Miami's ticket prices, which could range from $50 to $80 for the upcoming season, still offer good value for fans looking to witness Messi's presence on the field.
