A few tickets are still available on sites like Ticketmaster, with prices starting at $143 and going up to nearly $400 for premium seats. This strong turnout is not surprising given the popularity of both teams and their star players.
The match will also be an important chance for both teams to prepare ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For Argentina, this is one of the last chances to connect with their U.S. fans before the tournament. For Venezuela, it’s an opportunity to challenge themselves against a strong opponent.
With a large crowd expected, attendees should arrive early to handle parking and security efficiently. As the forecast calls for thunderstorms during the game, fans should be ready for possible weather changes to ensure a comfortable visit.
