+xInter Miami’s season ticket prices are way up for the 2024 season, nearly doubling in some sections of DRV PNK Stadium for the team’s first full season with Lionel Messi on board. Here’s what you need to know: - According to a seat map sent out to potential season ticket holders Thursday, the center sections on the north end line are $884 per seat — up from $485 last season. Seats on the south end line are $867, up from $592 last year.
- Seats in the northwest midfield area range from $4,420 to $7,650 with access to various clubs, whereas seats in those sections went for between $2,575 and $3,609 (and up) in 2023.
- Inter Miami will now offer field-level season tickets on the east sideline, which are listed at $13,005 and include club access. Boxes on the west sideline start at $42,840 per season for four seats and include access to the Midfield Club.
So much for their "fans first" approach..... jacking up the tickets by 100% the APL must be soooo envious.

One thing I found very interesting in the article was that competition from newer actives like E-Sports would be huge for traditional codes.

Their path against mainstream media is made a little (well, a lot IMO) easier than ours without rival codes like the AFL and RL and to much lesser extent, Rugby. When government and local authorities virtually rubber stamp funds and real estate gifts to these other codes and we're basically ignored, Australian football is up against it.

Its disingenuous, and in some ways disheartening, to write off their achievements simply because they don't have P & R...
The investment in stadiums, the investment in academies, getting more media and growing the game, the investment in social media has been, large, consistent, clever, fan identification superb , all this against a very hostile media.. with prior to this year a crap media deal in dollars and presentation and promotion.
The assumption, the above effort, investment and growth, would have occurred or have been greater, if P & R had been used, totally ignores the previous say 100 years, and the general American dominance by their other codes and that Football was seen as a pinko game.
The steps they are taking in Central & South American today are not well reported nor understood, the expected growth off the current investment has the aim and potential [and is a real chance of happening] of turning the US into a power house within 10 years... PS will explain how if anyone is interested...
Roughly 91%, stadium capacity with crowds, the regular season will have roughly 10.7 to 10.8 million thu the gate, there ne annual club competition between US V Mexico about 1.3 million, plus there final series .

Mate, as an aside, have you noticed how the fan culture in the US embraces different types of support? For example there is a group for each sub-community of fans the EPL-wannabes do English style chants, the Latinos chant in Spanish and have massive drums, the Euro Balkan Ultra wannabees have one drum and safe smoke..... it really is interesting .... The responses to the Atlanta United clip you show have many calling "Vamos" Atlanta... hahha here we dont even like acknowledging there are other languages let alone encouraging fans to speak them at the sokkah.

its proven even now with Saudi, when you have $$$$$$'s anything is possible. MLS the same, even though the code is behind the major ones keep throwing $$$$$$'s into it it will come. Same applied here (did in a small way with Lowy but went off the rails) - the ethnics did similar back in the day, build it and they will come but went off the rails pre AL. 390M in the US, plenty of billionaires and growing migrant population, money helps fuel the growth, not rocket science to me, yanks and others there follow the wierdest kind of competitions in numbers bigger than regular codes here...... By the way Mid, have you watched the recent Beckham Netflix Series release. Only 3 or 4 parts from his beginnings to current. I was more mesmorised of his young United/3Lions/RM days and seeing his first tenure at Galaxy again made me laugh if you ever watch it. Whole new order now but recommended viewing.

What was funny and not to him originally was when an opponent would score first against them, he would see Ronaldo giggle each time and a couple of others, Becks thinking WTF, other team mates said don't worry we will score more soon enough lol....... Figo was like WTF are you thinking to take my right side flank spot lol, to watch some of Figo's close ball skills through 3 players was just porn. Some interesting quotes by some and more so Capello re deciding to leave for MLS and to latter be the 3Lions gaffa and saying if you want any chance to be selected get in a real euro league, ie how he ended up playing stints with ACMilan that upset poor yanki doodle dandy Donovan.

LOL even with crowds and a growing home end culture, people still want to put down their achievements.
What I find interesting this year they will put thu the various gates over 12.5 million fans, many as hard core rusted on as anywhere in the world, have now or in the process of controlling all but 4 of their stadiums, next year will pass Hockey in sponsorship revenue, having already per game exceeded both Hockey and Basketball crowd averages.
All this with a highly critical media and bias media.
The money you speak of is not middle eastern Oil money, its from crowds, sponsors, merchandise sales, broadcast revenue and some licence fees...
They are connecting with Central and South Americans competitions,
I know they don't have P & R, but its like not having P & R, renders all their achievements as almost fake, unimportant, and to be ignored.
I think the MLS is currently the 10th highest crowd average in the world.
No one is saying their closed system is what people want, however also their achievements are impressive and not only in money terms.

Middy, re you coming back about people knocking MLS growth, if it was towards my posts let me set the record straight, TBH I really do NOT care and don't rate the league regards to Quality. When I see a 36yrs GOAT make their defenses look paper thin And might I add so did Ibra not too long ago and so did another before and before therefore the cycle continues. Rate the Quantity all you like for as I said with all the $$$$ at hand it sure bloody well should keep growing the show, Beckham/Miami will take it the next level no doubt about it attendance wise they don't call him Golden Balls for kicks. When I see more home grown yanks being bought to play in euro leagues (whilst they are the ongoing BAR) then I'll look up regards to quality.

Football has always been a multi-cultral sport. It's the perception of monoculture clubs that is the worry, please read the word perception. As for MLS, yes the growth is great, but quality I don't Middy is comparing to the top Euro competitions. The depth in the PL, La Liga & Serie is unsurpassed anywhere. However, you will see more & more next level Sth Americans making a beeline for the MLS going forward.

The Yanks certainly know how to turn a buck from anything....

Greek, Italian, Croatian... what else? The clip I sent you, which you either didnt watch or conveniently chose to not acknowledge, shows a full on chant in Spanish, NOT JUST VAMOS ... Something that every other non-Spanish speaking person would NOT understand yet it is welcomed and promoted even.... The have(had) clubs called "Chivas" and "Inter" and "Real" and couldn't seem to bat an eyelid.... Here you have people like yourself looking at the names of board members at a club and deciding who you think was and wasnt born in Australia and has/hasn;t got the right to call themselves Australian all the while praying that more foreign investement groups buy franchises in your "so called" professional league so you can remain entertained.....

For example there is a group for each sub-community of fans the EPL-wannabes do English style chants, the Latinos chant in Spanish and have massive drums, the Euro Balkan Ultra wannabees have one drum and safe smoke..... it really is interesting .... The responses to the Atlanta United clip you show have many calling "Vamos" Atlanta... hahha here we dont even like acknowledging there are other languages let alone encouraging fans to speak them at the sokkah. Vamos is lets's go in Spanish (Mexican). Their owner & president are American, their board in varied (not monocultured), the club is American. They may have a huge Mexican following, but the club is not Mexican dominated. Note the difference. Sorry what do you mean? Are you making an assumption about the "culture" of the board based on their names? Mexicans are also "American" by the way, as are Brazilians and Argentinians etc etc.. and anyone else living or from North, South or Central America. What do you think of the chanting in the clip below, would you love that in the A league? Would that make you feel included? .... just asking for a friend :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIQmUZqqoOA I'm of Portuguese background so Vamos doesn't worry me. Sydney FC fans also sing Sydney Ole ole ole, this is also Latino. Again, no issues. and the next effnick chant, FORZA - Vamos been around for yonks another rippa but some just see these traits as effnick here, utterly ridiculous. Whats ridiculous is oi oi oi to me hahaha I actually cringe when I'm surrounded by it. Middy, re you coming back about people knocking MLS growth, if it was towards my posts let me set the record straight, TBH I really do NOT care and don't rate the league regards to Quality. When I see a 36yrs GOAT make their defenses look paper thin And might I add so did Ibra not too long ago and so did another before and before therefore the cycle continues. Rate the Quantity all you like for as I said with all the $$$$ at hand it sure bloody well should keep growing the show, Beckham/Miami will take it the next level no doubt about it attendance wise they don't call him Golden Balls for kicks. When I see more home grown yanks being bought to play in euro leagues (whilst they are the ongoing BAR) then I'll look up regards to quality. Midd doesnt really care about the quality of the football mate, its the dollars being made that he is impressed by, and I agree with him.. The Yanks certainly know how to turn a buck from anything.... I get where Midd is coming from MSC - as I mentioned throw enough $$$$'s behind "anything" in merica they will come. I have been visiting the USA near on annually for 25yrs + - Bass fishing for eg, a company I've dealt with in the past had been a tournament sponser. The crowds watching these is ridiculous, as I said throw $$$ to anything there people come. "Largemouth Bass fishing is more famous than a sport such as a tennis or golf. Around 30 million bass anglers live in the U.S., roughly 10% of the population." Put a motor on a wheel barrow, Hairiest Back, Dog Surfing, Eating comps, it all get more people than NPL/AL crowds combined lol....... Football their way with $$$$'s was always gonna increase, more so due to leveraging from Imports and below them ala Mex a basket case - US Industries have been investing there for years and even more the last 20yrs and ahead.
Love Football

Greek, Italian, Croatian... what else? The clip I sent you, which you either didnt watch or conveniently chose to not acknowledge, shows a full on chant in Spanish, NOT JUST VAMOS ... Something that every other non-Spanish speaking person would NOT understand yet it is welcomed and promoted even.... The have(had) clubs called "Chivas" and "Inter" and "Real" and couldn't seem to bat an eyelid.... Here you have people like yourself looking at the names of board members at a club and deciding who you think was and wasnt born in Australia and has/hasn;t got the right to call themselves Australian all the while praying that more foreign investement groups buy franchises in your "so called" professional league so you can remain entertained..... You can think what you like, I have many friends who are Croatian, Italian & Greek, many of them are also SFC fans. Yes I did listen to the whole video & I thought it was great that they have so many latino fans singing in Spanish. It's you with all the issues. I think embracing the names of famous football clubs around the world is wonderful. I'm all for the new Canberra team to be called Real Canberra or the new Auckland team to be called Inter Auckland. I'm all for Sth Melbourne in the 2nd tier of football in this country.

Genuine question considering you now dont mind chanting in foreign languages even though in the past (correct me if I am wrong) you said one of the main reason why you didnt have a team to support for 27 years in Australia was because the crowds mainly spoke a language you didn't understand??? I thought it was great too btw (the Spanish chanting that is) wish we had more of that sort of tolerance in Australia.

I didn't follow Apia or Marconi because I didn't live near Leichardt nor was I Italian I didn't follow Sydney Olympic because I didn't live near the inner suburbs of Sydney, nor was a Greek, likewise with the Croatian clubs. None of them represented me. I don't live near Moore park but I support SFC, because they are not a Mono-culture club & caters for all Sydney people, whether they are Aussies, Croats, English, Middle Eastern, Japanese or even Portuguese. As I said in the post above it's all about perception, I have no issues with Sth Melbourne or Marconi, but the perception of some & especially those who make the decisions are that these are Greek & Italian clubs.

This was my exact experience when I moved to Sydney in the late 80's. Went a couple of times and then never again.
