In the video the newscaster quoted 65 Dollars which is £50.38

And plenty still available!

That’s for the North Carolina match.

The NYC match against AC Milan at Yankee Stadium is more expensive, with tickets seemingly starting at $100 (with taxes and fees), and half the stadium seemingly still available about a week out.

Based on what I can see on Ticketmaster, a lot of tickets have been put up for resale.

Manchester City FC vs Keltic FC.

It’s great to see that the presenter has full knowledge of what’s happening.

Even my missus caught that and chuckled as I played it in the adjoining room. It’s especially funny given he will absolutely know the Boston Celtics, pronounced “Selltics”, and will have made the deliberate choice to pronounce it “Kelltic”.

I jokingly said “Kinelltic” in response.

How much have tickets cost for those going?

All tickets in the City fans section via the supporters club's have ranged from $110 - $125
These are lower sections behind a goal.
In Orlando (a 66,000 capacity completely.open to the elelments stadium) you can get tickets up in the gods for around $60

Where are you finding those?

I’ve just had a look on StubHub, Vivid Seats, Seat Geek, and Ticketmaster (official ticketing services for the FC Series), and the cheapest is $116 (after taxes and fees; ~£90) for the seats up in the gods.

Great. Lots of time for the new pitch to bed in.

The presenter is an announcer for the local CBS station that is by far the absolute worst in media coverage. No one watches them, so that piece probably got more views on here than locally on the air.

And yes, given there is a US team called the Boston Celtics, he has failed in more ways than one.

It rained Friday night and there is much more rain in the forecast through Tuesday, so the pitch should be in fine shape. They'll be able to water it too. Scorching sun shouldn't be an issue either in spots.

It will be nice to get to finally cheer for a team wearing the City colors in that stadium because that has never happened here before in all my times as a visitor.

They're probably just rattling off the base price of the tickets before all those "justified" fees get piled on. I paid about the same as you are quoting back in the spring. I was taking no chances and under no illusion who was and was likely not showing up. I've seen our preseason lineups before.

Hearing there are plenty of seats too bodes well for (unofficial) ticket upgrade too as I know how that place works. The rows closest to the field/pitch are typically actually the worst seats because they're too low to the ground and you can't usually see over the standing players (at a US college football game). Perhaps this will be different, but this is not an ideal stadium to watch a match. But a beggar here can't be a chooser.
