NYC mayor secures $25 tickets for Norway vs. Morocco friendly

According to the latest report from The Athletic, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has teamed up with local politicians and the New York Red Bulls to secure discounts, allowing fans to purchase tickets for $25 to watch Norway's warm-up match against Morocco on June 7.

It is reported that as part of a collaboration with New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and the New York/New Jersey Host Committee, the Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, home to MLS team New York Red Bulls, will offer $25 discounted tickets (approximately ¥169.2) for two pre-match friendly games.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's team stated in a press release that the New York/New Jersey Host Committee, a public-private partnership, worked closely with the New York Red Bulls to facilitate this ticket sale. This means they will offer a limited number of $25 tickets for the matches, with 2,000 $25 tickets sold for the Bolivia vs. Scotland match on June 6, and 500 for the Morocco vs. Norway match on June 7.

As of Monday morning, the lowest price for a standard ticket purchased through Ticketmaster for the Bolivia vs. Scotland match was $50.05 (approximately ¥338), and for the Morocco vs. Norway match, it was $87.46 (approximately ¥591.6).

Additionally, from June 14 to 26, Sports Illustrated Stadium will host a fan carnival, where fans can enter for free during eight group stage matches and eight knockout matches. Fans can watch the games on a 60-foot big screen and experience live entertainment.
