Fans Camp Outside for Toluca vs. America Final Tickets

TOLUCA, Mexico — Fans are camping outside the Estadio Nemesio Díez, waiting for tickets to the highly anticipated final match between Toluca and America set for Sunday, May 25. As of now, they have been waiting for 48 hours, braving the elements in hopes of securing a seat at the game.

One fan wearing a Manchester United shirt shared, “We arrived early on Monday morning, and we’re determined to get a ticket for the final.” The Toluca club has stated that tickets will first be available to season ticket holders before going on sale digitally.

Despite the official announcement, many fans are holding on to hope that they might get tickets in person. Toluca has approximately 23,000 season ticket holders for its 30,000-seat stadium, making it increasingly difficult to secure a ticket.

The club has announced that ticket sales for season ticket holders will take place on May 21 and 22. Any remaining tickets will be available to the general public starting on Friday. Another fan added, “They say online only, but they always end up selling on-site too.”

The demand for tickets is high as the Aguilas are aiming to become the first team to win four consecutive titles in Mexican football, while the Diablos Rojos are looking to end a 15-year drought without a local title.

Ticket prices range from 800 pesos to 3,600 pesos for the general public, and in the resale market, prices can skyrocket, but one devoted fan proclaimed, “It doesn’t matter how long we have to wait; this is driven by passion.”

On Tuesday morning, ticket sales for season holders began, with prices varying from 400 to 1,800 pesos. The price then doubles for general sales later in the week.
