America vs LAFC: Fans Stunned by Sky-High Ticket Prices for CWC Playoff
Get ready for a sticker shock, soccer fans. The upcoming CONCACAF Champions Cup final between Club América and LAFC has left many spectators scratching their heads over the sky-high ticket prices.
More Expensive Than Concacaf Champions Cup Final
The cheapest ticket for the America vs LAFC match, set for June 1 at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, costs around 261 USD, or nearly 5,100 Mexican pesos. This price is considerably higher than the most expensive ticket for the Concacaf Champions Cup final.
Fans Express Disapproval
I’m a passionate fan, but I can’t afford that. It’s highway robbery!
Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with many questioning why such an important match comes with a premium price tag.
What’s Verified Resale?
If you’re wondering how tickets could reach such heights, it’s due to the “verified resale” option on Ticketmaster. This feature allows initial buyers to legally resell their tickets at increased prices due to high demand.
Currently, all remaining tickets for the game on Ticketmaster are part of the verified resale, with prices ranging from 1323 Mexican pesos (68 USD) to a staggering 13,134 Mexican pesos (675 USD).
Not Just Fans, Players Have Concerns Too
America’s Club President, Miguel Angel Garcia:
These high prices prevent many fans from attending the game, which is a shame considering the significance of the match.
