Arsenal and Manchester United Set to Clash in Los Angeles, But Steep Ticket Prices Leave Thousands of Seats Unfilled
The highly anticipated pre-season friendly between Arsenal and Manchester United is just around the corner, taking place this Saturday at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. However, despite being one of the most highly anticipated matches of the summer, nearly 20,000 tickets remain unsold, with the cheapest face-value tickets priced at a whopping $126 (£97) and reaching as high as $667 (£516).
Arsenal’s US tour kicked off with a match against Bournemouth at the Dignity Health Sports Park, followed by their encounter with Manchester United on Saturday. The Gunners will then face off against Liverpool in Philadelphia next Wednesday. According to sources, only 51,000 of the 70,000 available tickets have been sold for the Manchester United match, a stark contrast to the Liverpool fixture at the Lincoln Financial Field, where 60,000 tickets have been sold out of the 67,594 available.

The two teams are hoping to replicate the success of their record-breaking pre-season encounter in New Jersey last summer, which saw an astonishing 82,000 attend the MetLife Stadium. As the weekend approaches, there are hopes that a late ticket surge will occur, filling the remaining seats at the SoFi Stadium.
