Messi fever has gripped America. After all, Lionel Messi is one the greatest ever to grace the game of soccer. But that being said, marketing strategies can be rather strange at times. And in this odd instance, MLS club New England Revolution’s sales reps, perhaps, didn’t put a lot of thought into their latest intended campaign.

Inter Miami’s rivals put together a contentious ticket marketing campaign, which led to the franchise receiving considerable flak.

According to this tweet by MLS Buzz, New England’s ticket office suggested that fans can buy season tickets on the cheap, to watch Inter Miami’s Messi score against them! It’s rather anti-climactic and humorous that New England’s salespersons drafted this particular campaign, especially considering Inter Miami is New England’s fellow Eastern Conference rival in the MLS.

The Twitter account stated that this particular marketing campaign was akin to when Vancouver’s social media team put together a compilation of Atlanta United scoring goals to sell tickets to their game. The handle also ended the tweet by suggesting New England’s sales team should “Have some shame”.

However, Inter Miami came on top in a tightly contested shootout, winning 10-9 eventually.
