On Tuesday, the Catalans host Bayern. They had a raffle system because they were expecting a lot of orders, but they have 8,000 tickets left over that no one wants
Next Tuesday, Barcelona will have its inaugural match of the new edition of the Champions League, and will face none other than Bayern Munich, a team with which they have outstanding accounts.
By now, there would no longer be any entry into “normal” times. But Messi left and they have nothing to do with 8,000 tickets that no one wants.
The situation is amazing considering that, in reality, the capacity is not fully enabled. Barely 40,000 tickets have been made available due to the restrictions of the VOCID-19, but they have not been able to sell them all.
The management even had prepared a raffle system for tickets as they are used to the fact that demand always exceeds supply, but now they have not even been able to make available all the tickets as there are not so many people who have thought go to the stadium.
And without Messi is not the same, beyond what people probably think twice when going to the stadium in the midst of the pandemic and economic crisis that many suffer.
In France, the opposite is true, especially at PSG, which sells Messi shirts as hot cakes and which, although it has barely played once with the colors of its new team (visiting last date), is he talks a lot about his figure, so much so that ticket sales have skyrocketed for matches where it is not known if he will be present yet.
Messi recently returned to Paris from the qualifiers with Argentina, his team, which could not play more than 4 minutes against Brazil in a special situation, as members of the health department removed 4 Argentines from the field citing security issues by anticovid protocols. Then, they beat Bolivia with a Messi hat-trick. And this morning (late-night in Paris) he was already back with the team, but in the stands.
