YOU can put your home on Lionel Messi which is a craze in the United States.
Or you can BUY one for the price of his Inter Miami debut.
The most expensive tickets to see Lionel Messi’s first game for David Beckham’s Inter Miami are tattoos too much for casual fans
You might choose to have the world in the palm of your hand with great stops if you splurge on a 9-month excursion
You can take a taxi for the rest of your life instead of buying a ticket to launch Messi if you buy this BMW M4 Cabriolet
Some homes near the Morecambe coast will cost around £81k
Some fans are paying $110,000 (£84,000) to watch Messi play at home against Mexican team Cruz Azul in the first round of the 2023 Leagues Cup on Friday.
The fɑct that David Beckham won the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner on a free transfer from PSG is the greatest coup ever for the Professional Football League.
And it could make the biggest sporting dent in the bank balances of some super-rich backers.
Friday’s average entry price was $487 (£352) but a CNN Business survey of ticketing site Vivid Seats found that fans coughed up over just one ticket, the equivalent of two years of pay for a typical American.
So instead of splashing out £84,000 to watch the Argentinian win the World Cup Messi, what could you buy instead?
For starters, if you’re the type of person who prefers a sense of security and certainty, rather than excitement and feɑr, you can fund an entire year of private security.
Not only that, you can buy a mid-range Rolex watch with spare change – to check if your personal guard arrives on time.
But what about the “classic” big spends – houses, supercars, and vacations?
Fares go a long way – and indeed for a long time, if you fɑncy a cruise.
You can join heavyweight legend Tyson Fury as a resident of Morecambe on the North West coast of England.
The cheapest places to buy a home in the UK include Middlesbrough, with an average price of £55k, Bradford at £59k and £65k for Sunderland.
But if you want a one-bedroom home that is, in the words of reɑl estate agents, “close to stunning views of the Bay,” we found a couple on the market in Morecambe for around $81. thousɑnd pounds.
“Closed” in this case must be the bare trᴜth as the “Victoria terraced house” is located in Park Street, BARE.
On the other hand, if you want a car to parade along that coast – or drive along the famous Route 66 through Miami to buy a MEDI-PRICE ticket to see Inter – then what do you think about doing it? Is that on a BMW M4 Convertible?
You’ll get the same fresh air as if you’d paid the same £84,000 for the top ticket.
AND you could probably keep flying in it for the rest of Messi, 36 years old.
Some may opt for the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Pearlmaster 39, which still leaves you with enough cash to buy a £20,000 car on your £84,000 budget.
You just need to negotiate an asking price of £89k – or save money with a £83k BMW 4 Series Coupe.
Of course, you might decide that, if you’re moving cash from a luxury item to meet Messi, the alternative should be a luxury item as well.
For the same amount of money, you could go around the world on a luxury cruise in the time of a football season – nine months.
Royal Caribbean is offering a 274-night cruise with 150 captivating stops around the globe.
Around £64k gets you a ‘Room with Balcony’ for one person – which, as we all know, is far superior to the ‘Indoor Room’ (£46k) and even the ‘Room sea view” (£50k).
Taxes, fees, and port charges add £4k.
So that leaves you with a tiny £16k to spend over nine months…unless you’re “putting the boat out to sea” to pay more than £90k for a Junior Suite.
