Tatler Asia, which is hosting the Hong Kong leg in Miami, said on February 9 that visitors who purchase tickets through formal channels will receive a 50% full refund.
Tytler Asia, the organizer of the Miami Hong Kong station, said: "We have spoken to the local ** in the hope of getting a proper treatment and have invited a consumer council to attend the meeting. "At the same time, we can't shirk our role as organisers, so Taylor Asia will charge 50% of the fee to all visitors who purchase tickets through formal channels. Details of the refund will be announced by mid-March.
In addition, the organizers said that Miami has Messi, Alba, Busquets and Suarez in the contract to play 45 minutes, if there are no injuries. The organizers heard that Messi could not play and wanted him to give an explanation to the fans, but he couldn't, and then Messi appeared in Japan with Suarez, which made the organizers feel like they had been slapped in the face.
According to earlier reports, tickets for the Hong Kong tour in Miami, China are priced at $880-$4880.
On February 4, at the Hong Kong Stadium, Miami International and Hong Kong All-Star match, Messi did not play, causing outrage in the audience. Hong Kong** was disappointed because they donated HK$16 million to the organisers and said they would deduct some of the funding from them. At a press conference on February 5, the organizers also said they had withdrawn funding for the project.
On February 7, Messi issued an apology, saying that he could not participate in the Hong Kong Championship due to injury. However, Messi came on as a substitute in the Japanese game.
