The cheapest ticket to access Bank Of America costs $55 dollars, while the most expensive ones reach $1,100 dollars on the official sales platform “Ticketmaster”.
Amounts that increase if we consider that in the United States United the prices indicated do not include taxes, which change depending on each state and are paid at the time of completion of the purchase.

On the next MLS matchday, this Saturday, an MLS record crowd of 75,000 people will be in attendance to watch an MLS club play in North Carolina.
