Lionel Messi has propelled Inter Miami and MLS to world fame after his long-awaited signing. Many Argentina “10” fans now follow the American team and have even bought their MLS season pass to watch the games. However, there is also a lot of interest from those who want to travel to see the “flea” up close in Miami. In addition, an Argentine tour operator revealed, based on his own experience, how much it costs to take part in an Inter-Miami duel and what you can expect from it.
The pundit traveled to the United States and attended the Inter Miami vs. Orlando City game for the Leagues Cup. From this, he revealed a number of details that are strange or curious to many fans in South America due to the difference between a football match in that country and one in the region. One of the key takeaways was that when Lionel Messi isn’t touching the ball, many people don’t pay any attention to the game at all.

How much does it cost to see Lionel Messi in Miami?
According to the agent, tickets for Lionel Messi at Inter de Mami are available from $170 (about S/628). If you are driving, you will need to add a $50 (approximately S$184) parking fee. As can be observed here in Peru, even unofficial shirts are sold. However, its price is far from what we observe in our country: a replica is worth between 40 and 50 dollars.
On the other hand, while he didn’t mention how much each product costs, he said that they sell snacks, drinks, beer and Fernet and also have a food court and various shops. Payment is always made by credit card, not cash.

“The audience does not become a fan”
Striking – but not surprising – is that the Argentine emphasized that the people who go to the stadium don’t behave like real football fans. According to him, they don’t watch the game because they talk, they move between the stands a lot and only pay attention when Lionel Messi has the ball. In addition, they leave the stadium 10 minutes before the end of the game, regardless of the score.
