00:00Let me congratulate Mayor Mamdani from New York.
00:04I was with him the day before yesterday, actually.
00:08I have to congratulate him because he put on sale 1,000 tickets at $50 a couple of months ago.
00:19And since then he gets fantastic news.
00:23We put on sale 130,000 tickets at $60, and we don't get great news.
00:33Probably he has better communication people than us, or probably he's better than me.
00:38I don't know, but I want to congratulate him, of course, for that and for that initiative as well.
00:44And to reiterate that the starting price is at $60, everything I said before, the market is here, what it
00:51is.
00:51That if you sell it at a lower price point, and again, this has been part of intense and extensive
00:57analysis in this particular market.
01:00It would have gone, which is perfectly legal in this country, in secondary markets at much, much, much higher prices.
01:08And where would the money go then?
01:11Well, to those who organize secondary market or black market activities and not to football.
01:19So every dollar that comes in goes back into the development of football.
01:25That's it.
01:25That's what the role of school is in the development of football.
01:26And that's the role that we're doing going to play by football.
