Transcript
00:00Let me congratulate Mayor Mamdani
00:03From New York
00:04I was with him the day before yesterday actually
00:08I have to congratulate him because he put on sale
00:131,000 tickets at $50
00:15a couple of months ago
00:19and since then he gets fantastic news
00:23We put on sale 130,000 tickets at $60
00:29and we don't get great news
00:33Probably has better communication people than us
00:37Probably he's better than me
00:38I don't know
00:39But I want to congratulate him of course for that
00:41and for that initiative as well
00:43And to reiterate that the starting price is at $60
00:46Everything I said before, the market is here
00:50What it is
00:51That if you sell it at a lower price point
00:53And again this has been part of intense and extensive analysis
00:58In this particular market
01:00It would have gone
01:01Which is perfectly legal in this country
01:03In secondary markets
01:05At much much much higher prices
01:08And where would the money go then?
01:10Well
01:11To those who organize secondary market or black market activities
01:17And not to football
01:19So every dollar that comes in
01:21Goes back into the development of football
