United fans are so fired up about your arrival that there’s reportedly been a run on tickets to a match you’re not even playing in.ĭC United, I'm told, have sold upwards of 3,000 tickets for their July 8th match against #InterMiamiCF in the past 24 hours alone. Forbes says Miami ticket prices have jumped 1,000 percent, and that was before your signing was even officially announced. His $25 million investment in Inter Miami has multiplied in value several times over since the club played its first match in 2020, and now that you’re in town, he might be sitting on a ten-figure gold mine. Technically, he’s your boss, but you both know that’s not how this works.
