Soccer icon Lionel Messi in New Jersey; see how much it could cost to see him play

The greatest soccer player, maybe ever, is coming to New Jersey.

If you want to see him, it's going to cost you.

On Saturday, Inter Miami, which recently added iconic soccer star Lionel Messi, is coming to Harrison for a date with the New York Red Bulls. And just as he does whenever he plays anywhere, Messi's appearance is jacking up the ticket prices.

If you want to go to Saturday's match, you're going to end up paying better than $500, and that's just to get in the door.

As of today, the cheapest ticket, including taxes and fees are $555. If you want to get up close to the action, you might need to take out a second mortgage on your house. The most expensive tickets available right now are $18,584.

It's expensive, but you're paying to see an all-time great.

Messi, who is on the downside of his career at 36, is still playing at a high level. He helped Argentina win the World Cup last year, and last week he helped Inter Miami win the Leagues Cup in PKs.

If you want to see the star, it might be cheaper to take a flight to Florida and watch him. Tickets to his home game against Nashville, South Carolina, are going between $200 and $2,000.

The game will bring excitement to the stadium for the Red Bulls, which are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, sitting at seven wins, eight draws and nine losses.
