Ticket prices for Messi's farewell match

According to The Touchline, pricing varies by section. The cheapest seats begin at roughly $19, while a standard General Admission ticket comes in at $59. Upper-tier seats are listed at $119 or $211, middle-tier at $211 or $316, and the priciest lower-tier option is priced at $296. That means the most expensive tickets cost more than 16 times the cheapest.

The Benin match forms part of a run of Argentina friendlies after the 2026 World Cup. Ahead of it, the team will meet Bolivia on September 30 in Córdoba and Burkina Faso on October 3 in Buenos Aires.

For Messi, the game carries special weight, as he has announced his retirement from international football after more than two decades representing Argentina. With the national side, the forward lifted the 2022 World Cup and claimed the Copa América twice — in 2021 and 2024.
