Lionel Messi’s last match for Argentina is set for October 6 against Benin at El Monumental, and fans looking to attend will want to know exactly when tickets become available.
When do tickets go on sale?
According to French outlet Foot Mercato, tickets for the match open on Tuesday at 6pm. The report doesn’t specify a time zone, so if you’re buying from outside Argentina, it’s worth confirming the local start time through the Argentine Football Association’s (AFA) official sales channel before the window opens.
What else to know before the sale opens
- Match: Argentina vs. Benin, a farewell friendly for Messi
- Date: October 6
- Venue: El Monumental, capacity around 84,000
- Prices are set by the AFA across several tiers, from €17 up to €278
Given the demand expected for Messi’s final appearance in an Argentina shirt, tickets could move quickly once the sale starts.
Worth double-checking
Sale times for high-demand matches can shift close to the date, so it’s a good idea to check AFA’s official announcement or ticketing page right before Tuesday to make sure the 6pm window hasn’t been updated.
