In a statement, Chicago Fire addressed the possibility that many fans may be disappointed not to see Messi at Soldier Field this week, but their idea is for everyone to live a great experience regardless of the players who take the field.
āTo show our appreciation, the Chicago Fire will be offering a $250 account credit toward new memberships for the 2024 season ā or a $50 account credit for anyone unable to use the new member credit ā to all single-game ticket buyers who attend our match vs. Inter Miami regardless of which players are able to make an appearance on the pitch,ā the club statement read.
Besides, the club will offer several in-match activations as well as a surprise halftime show aiming to please the 61,000 attendees and make those who only want to see Messi feel the ticket was worth it.
