A day before the friendly duel between the two teams, just 10,000 tickets have been sold for the match. The newly renovated Los Angeles Coliseum has a capacity for 77,500 spectators.
Roger Champagne, CEO of Hit Song Productions, promoter of the party, acknowledges that he lost sponsorship in the absence of Lionel Messi in the call of the Argentine team due to the suspension of CONMEBOL.
“It is not fair for the fans and for us what CONMEBOL did, we lost many sponsors. I want to tell the fans that I will seek to bring another weight game, ”said Champagne, who said he has another game planned at the end of March 2020.
The Chilean national team does not have elements such as Arturo Vidal or Gary Medel, but with Alexis Sánchez and Claudio Bravo. For its part, Argentina has the absence of players like Lionel Messi, Kun Agüero, and Ángel Di María, but it does have Paulo Dybala.

"It would help a lot to have the calls in advance to promote the match in an authentic way with the fans," said Champagne, although he acknowledges that it is not the fault of the teams. "I am very grateful to both the Chilean and Argentine national team, it is a great game yet, there are 22 players on the court."
Tickets are on sale at three prices, $ 25, $ 50 and $ 75, an accessible range for these types of meetings.
"We had big plans, you lose sponsors, therefore, it is less money and limits the show that was planned," Champagne concluded.
The same company organized the match between Brazil and Peru on Tuesday, September 10 at the Colosseum. The ticket goes much better for this meeting, since the Brazilian team has its figures, and more than 30 thousand tickets have already been sold.
