$156,000 for 90 minutes: The exorbitant price of luxury to see the Atlas Lions take on the Seleção

The match between the Atlas Lions and the Seleção is generating exceptional enthusiasm for next summer in the United States. Scheduled at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this confrontation is attracting the attention of analysts and supporters from around the world. However, the prices charged to attend the match from the most exclusive spaces are controversial. The rental of a luxury suite costs $156,000, or about 1.46 million Moroccan dirhams.

This exorbitant rate corresponds to a specific package offering a high-end experience. Each box can accommodate 24 people in a setting combining total comfort and elite services. This offer, which guarantees absolute privacy for the distinguished guests, effectively places the "haute couture" of football out of reach of the vast majority of fans. While the popular stands will remain the beating heart of the stadium, these hushed spaces remain the privilege of a very limited social category.

The secondary ticket market, although unofficial, also confirms this inflationary trend. To hope to obtain a seat in the regular stands, the prices start around $820 on the resale sites, or more than 8,000 dirhams. Despite these prohibitive costs, the New Jersey stadium should be full for this prestigious duel between two of the most followed national teams in the world.
