The Laver Cup fever is back in town. After quite an emotional last season which saw Roger Federer play the last match of his illustrious tennis career, this year’s event features some of the young stars like Ben Shelton and Stefanos Tsitsipas. The 3-day event will be held in Vancouver, Canada from September 22. However, ahead of the grand event, the chairman of the tournament, Tony Godsick has faced massive criticism as a saddening reality hit this year’s edition.

Godsick has been a long-time agent of Roger Federer and their sports management company, TEAM8 runs the Laver Cup. Here’s what happened involving the veteran agent.

Long-time agent of Roger Federer slammed for high Laver Cup ticket prices

Laver Cup, backed by the Swiss maestro, Roger Federer, has gone on to become one of the most popular events on the tennis calendar. As a result, it is assumed that the stadium will be packed with spectators and there might be hardly any tickets left just days before the event. However, this is not the case.

Just hours ago, a post went viral on social media, indicating that there are many tickets still left to be sold out for the tournament. Although the discounted tickets have been bought by fans, premium tickets in a high price range are still left to be sold out. While one set of tickets worth $1,396 arehas not sold, another set with a whopping price of $5248 has gone unsold thus far. This results in Laver Cup facing a worrying $6.500 dilemma.
