On the eve of the final of the Club World Cup, an unexpected decision of FIFA is delighted by the Parisian supporters present in New York.
They had already seized Times Square on Friday evening,
Transforming Manhattan's heart into a mini-park of princes. Songs, flags, celebrations: Fans of PSG, who came in many to New York for the final of the Club World Cup, lived a highlight. And this Saturday, an announcement of FIFA came to amplify their happiness, twenty-four hours from the kick-off.
The world body has decided to significantly reduce the price of tickets for the final between PSG and Chelsea. Initially offered at more than $ 300, some tickets are now available from 201.75 dollars. A notable drop, supposed to energize the crowds in a tournament where many places have remained empty, despite prestigious posters.
More accessible places to fill the Metlife Stadium
With more than a million unsold tickets during the group phase, FIFA was under pressure. It now hopes to fill the spans of the Metlife Stadium, which can accommodate up to 82,500 spectators. If the governor of New Jersey announced a full stadium, the organizers prefer to qualify: the capacity will be slightly reduced to make room for the musical show provided at halftime.
PSG supporters: the good news fall just before the final
Note that Chelsea fans will also benefit from this price drop, but the focus remains elsewhere. It is indeed the Parisian supporters who have given the tone since their arrival.
Good news for Parisians on site
For those who already have their tickets, the news may fall too late. But in the current euphoric atmosphere, any gesture in favor of the public is welcome. PSG hopes to close this American stay in style. And in this atmosphere already electrified by celebrations, this unexpected initiative only adds to the ambient euphoria.
