“I wouldn’t pay it” – Trump on USA ticket price
Former President Donald Trump has made comments regarding the high price of tickets for the upcoming USA vs. Mexico soccer match. The match, scheduled to take place on November 12th, 2021, at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, has garnered attention not only for the sporting event but also for the steep ticket prices.
In an interview with a local news outlet, Trump expressed his disbelief at the ticket cost, stating, “I wouldn’t pay it.” The ticket prices for the highly anticipated match have reportedly reached up to $7000 on the secondary market, far exceeding face value. Trump’s comments come amidst a backdrop of rising ticket prices for various events as demand surges post-pandemic.
On the other hand, event organizers have defended the ticket prices, citing high demand and limited seating capacity in the stadium due to COVID-19 restrictions. They argue that the prices are reflective of market dynamics and the attractiveness of the matchup between the two rival national teams.
The exchange highlights the ongoing debate surrounding ticket pricing for major events, with supporters of the free market system advocating for prices to be set based on supply and demand, while critics argue that exorbitant prices may exclude certain fans from attending.
The USA vs. Mexico soccer match is expected to draw a large audience both in the stadium and through television viewership, given the intense rivalry between the two teams and the implications for the upcoming World Cup.
