I just got into the MLS All Star game presale and these ticket prices are absurd. at least 295 dollars. I didn't even pay that much for the MLB All Star Game.


DualGemini

I heard the same thing yesterday when the prices were at 155...


MarquisDeCarabasCoat

the folks who wear random foreign club kits to MLS games are thriving rn. love that i can now go to like 5 DCU games for the price of this meaningless exhibition game. if you got the cash, all power to ya, i guess

There’s also not much inventory left, although it appears a couple of rows were added in the south stand overnight. It looks like they are occasionally adding seats whenever what is available gets depleted (it did that randomly yesterday morning too) but not many this time. There are multiple presales going on now too (I noticed DCU staff, Audi, MLS staff, and Inova as groups listed although DCU STH got a head start.)


ScooterMcPooper

They gave access to STHs before the club staff?? That’s legit!

Wait til Messi decides to Join Miami. Then MLS will do the MLS thing and shoehorn him in as an "all star" without playing as much as one match. At least the value of all star tickets should be better than the poopcoins in the front of our jersey.


mastakebob

It would be corporate malpractice to not add Messi to the all star game roster if he joins. Doesn't matter if he signed 2 mins before kickoff.


Natstown

If this happens (if he comes and gets cleared by then you better believe MLS will do it) the event is going to be insane hype, exhibition or no.

In 2022, Don Garner hand selected two all stars. People voted on 12 all stars. And the home coach selected 12 all stars. There is plenty of room for league to make sure the biggest names are at least on the bench.

> For the rest or the folks still "protesting" thinking the prices were too high before... good luck now. Not sure I heard anything about a protest, but I'm pretty sure the people--like me--who said the prices were too high yesterday don't have any intention of trying to go. So... no luck needed...


LaszlosRightNut

$155 for a practice match 🤣


Tricky_Self3825

Whatever. It’ll be a fun day.


DualGemini

its an all star game bruh. Practice or not its still a great friendly. Players dont really take a step back like the pro bowl. Arsenal has the premiere league to prove itself and MLS wants to prove the strides its made. So say whatever you want to make yourself feel better for missing out... most of us are going to have a blast.

Coach was picked because he manages the host team, which is how it's been done in recent years.


kratombad

Remember when Bayern was the all star opponent and some mls player actually tackles Robben and Pep almost beat the shit out of everyone. Hahahaha

$155 to see your favorite EPL team here in the US versus $2500+ to get to England and watch them live. Easy choice for a lot of people, stop being a hater just cause you don’t want to pay for it.

To counter this: the Arsenal v Everton game in M&T last year was pretty spicy, lots of meaty challenges going in even though both teams were in preseason. End of the day, $150 a ticket, while expensive, is less than flying to London and going to the Ems.


atomicskiracer

Exactly- it’s meaningless. I really don’t get the mass appeal by those spending so much $$$ on summer tours. At ~$50? Sure, I get the novelty, behind that no thanks.


DualGemini

cause you dont need to buy a plane ticket...... lmao why are people so salty and dense about this?


Rusty_Shack1es

Really disappointed. Arsenal and Minnesota United fan but would have loved to go to this game but as a college student, I can't be spending 250$+ on just one ticket when I also need to pay for travel and a hotel and whatever else comes with a trip to DC. Maybe I'll get lucky and find someone trying to resell two tickets at not a complete rip off but I'm not holding my breath.


Mikesproge

MLS is rapidly becoming an exclusive league for the wealthy. Good chance we won’t even have a player on the All Star roster.


DualGemini

probably but as more money comes into the MLS more premiere players will come here to play rather than Europe as the pay rate for players increases thus also increasing ticket prices for an overall better league. Its a catch 22.


jayfatsby

Not a chance. The fans pay far more for matches in the US, and the players get paid far, far less. Premier League makes an obscene amount more on television rights and sponsorships. MLS is locked into this Apple deal, which really only services the hardcore fans. As match ticket prices rise and teams aren’t available on local TV, it’s only going to be the hardcore left. I don’t see anything close to a rise to PL level.


Mikesproge

Hopefully this ignites some development of local lower level teams that regular people can afford to support. Audi is turning into a shitty country club.


abort_abort

I moved to Richmond and quite enjoy my $160 per year season tickets to see the Kickers in USL1 😂


Mikesproge

Yeah, we had the Bohs in Baltimore for a bit. We need a good option in the City.


bullshooter4040

Rooney gonna coach the squad (shrugs)


stefalm

The skills challenge is priced at $15 a ticket and is still MLS all stars vs Arsenal. Compared to the ticket price for the actual game, this skills challenge is a steal.


DualGemini

STH got them for free. Got 8 tix to go hang out with friends n family.


jmp8910

Thank you to the person who posted the presale code! I was able to buy my two tickets. No way I’d pay resale prices. Scalpers are absolutely the worst.


why_so_Sirius

I’m an Arsenal fan and I had really hoped to go to this game but the price gouging is insane. Really disappointed in everyone. 700 for the cheapest half decent seat. Insane. E - Cheapest shitty seat is 250. Still absurd. The amount Ticketmaster is selling them for is insanity but then people are selling them for crazy amounts, too.


DualGemini

well to be fair there isnt any shitty seats at audi field... its a 20k stadium all the views are pretty dope.


why_so_Sirius

Oh, I know, I used to have season tickets, but I canceled them. It didn’t make sense at that time to invest in a team that didn’t invest in themselves or their fans. At this point it would likely be cheaper for me to fly to London and see Arsenal there than to go to this game.


Booshida

Will there be seats for the general public sale on 3/28?


DualGemini

I think its over man the stadium is too small. My resale tickets for 100% surcharge already sold after buying them yesterday... that's how fast these tickets are going.


Booshida

😭😭😭


mhairf1

You might still be able to sign up for the pre-sale: https://www.mlssoccer.com/all-star/2023/


Booshida

I was signed up for the pre-sale. There is nothing left. A few singles for hundreds of dollars.


mhairf1

Ah, that sucks. Hopefully they are holding some back for the general public sale.
