Soccer’s two best players aren’t enough to persuade fans to buy tickets to see Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal play Lionel Messi’s Argentina at Manchester United’s Old Trafford, where organizers have sold 15,000 seats in the 75,731-seat stadium.
Organizers need between 45,000 and 50,000 sales to meet targets for the Nov. 18 exhibition game, according to Leo Morales, project manager at the game’s organizer World Eleven.
