Mexico Soccer Fans See Higher Ticket Prices

Ticket prices for professional soccer matches in Mexico have increased in recent seasons. Several fans interviewed by the outlet said the cost now exceeds what many households can spend on leisure activities.

Average match-day tickets in Mexico's top division have risen by double-digit percentages over the past three years, according to data cited in the report. Attendance figures at some stadiums have declined during the same period. Lower-income supporters described choosing between game tickets and other household expenses.

One fan stated that a single ticket now equals several days of wages for minimum-wage workers.

Mexico's minimum wage rose in January 2025, yet inflation in entertainment and services has outpaced wage growth in several regions. The report noted that ticket prices at clubs in larger cities have increased faster than those in smaller markets. Some clubs have introduced payment plans and discounted sections, though availability remains limited.

Organizers have not announced additional measures to address affordability concerns.
