As soccer star Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF ready for more games, the team announced Wednesday that an extra 1,200 tickets are now up for sale, thanks to newly installed seats.
DRV PNK Stadium’s capacity for 2024 will be 21,550, and the brand-new seating section is in the southwest, northeast southeast corners.
“Due to the unprecedented demand for tickets, the Club made these seating enhancements to host as many fans as possible at home matches,” the team said. “With the new seating, an additional 1,200 single match-tickets are available for purchase beginning on Wednesday, January 31.”
Fans can purchase the tickets from Ticketmaster.
Ticket prices start off at $112 to watch the Feb. 15 match against the Argentine soccer team Newell’s Old Boys. Prices jump to $140 a week later when South Florida will face off against Salt Lake City.
Last June, the city of Fort Lauderdale agreed to expedite the permit to add 3,200 more seats to the stadium to meet the anticipated demand to see Messi.
The new seating will have nine theater boxes and six opera boxes located in the southwest corner, both with “living room-style chairs to ultra padded suite seating, separated by privacy partitions. The all-inclusive premium seating options will also have premium parking included and access to the Midfield Club (food and drinks included).”
