Lionel Messi’s pull is something different, and the Major League Soccer teams are banking on this pull to earn some extra bucks! The Red Bulls are offering a holiday package that includes merchandise like a travel mug as well as tickets to two home games, including the team’s inaugural home game. However, there’s a catch. The MLS schedule won’t be announced until later in the year, but if the Red Bulls’ home opener is against Inter Miami, fans who buy the package will get tickets for the following home game.
The reason for this is Lionel Messi. The Argentine superstar plays for Inter Miami, and the prospect of seeing him in action is much more appealing than a regular match against other MLS teams. Any match involving Messi becomes a must-see, and teams don’t want to include such a valuable ticket in their package deal.
The impact of Lionel Messi’s arrival on US Soccer is expected to be significant in terms of revenue. As a result, clubs are taking the necessary steps to maximize their profits.

For example, Columbus Crew, another MLS club, charges $40 for home matches. However, the minimum ticket price for their home match against Inter Miami is as high as $382.
Season ticket prices for the Herons have increased exponentially after the arrival of Messi. It makes Inter Miami’s game tickets among the most expensive in the world. Inter Miami’s season ticket packages start at about $800 for 17 games, and other season tickets are $4,000, $7,000 or even $10,000 for seats with club access.
Notably, Argentine superstar Lionel Messi signed a contract with the Miami club earlier this year, making his official debut on July 21st against the Cruz Azul team.
