This Tuesday will see Philadelphia Union<\/strong> face Inter Miami CF<\/strong> in a Leagues Cup<\/strong> semi-final clash which will see one of these two MLS<\/strong> sides reach the final of the competition. The clash is set to take place at Subaru Park<\/strong> in front of 18,500 spectators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia Union<\/strong>\u00a0have announced on their social channels that the semi-final has sold out, advising fans to turn to\u00a0SeatGeak<\/strong>\u00a0if they hope to attend the game – where prices start at 400 US dollars, ranging up to the thousands. The club themselves are holding some limited tickets, starting at 450 US dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be Lionel Messi<\/strong>\u2019s second away trip of the tournament, the first being an unforgettable match against FC Dallas<\/strong> in the round of 16, which saw the two teams draw 4-4 and Miami win the match on penalties. The 2022 World Cup winner scored a sumptuous free-kick to level proceedings for the away side before calmly slotting his penalty to help The Herons<\/em> reach the quarter finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets sold out in under 10 minutes against the Texan side<\/a>. The club revealed on social media that fans hoping to attend the match will need to turn to AXS resale, where tickets started at a minimum price of 700 US dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messi mania has been taking over ever since the Argentine joined Inter Miami CF<\/strong>, with full stadiums in all five matches that he\u2019s played for the Florida club. This has helped the tournament outpace projections, with around 800,000 fans having attended Leagues Cup<\/strong> matches, and for an average of 18,000 fans for each of the 45 group-stage games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trend is set to continue into the semi-final stages, as Lionel Messi<\/strong> and his Inter Miami<\/strong> side hope to reach the final at the first time of asking. However, they\u2019ll face a tough test in Philadelphia Union<\/strong> – backed by a full stadium of home fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
