This high demand reflects the city's enthusiasm to establish itself as one of the most vibrant host venues for next summer's World Cup. To ensure the integrity of attendees and international delegations, authorities have deployed a force of 605 security personnel. It appears the venue will be at full capacity, creating a festive atmosphere in the stands, which can accommodate 46,355 spectators. The Organizing Committee in Guadalajara confirmed that tickets for tonight's match are completely sold out, guaranteeing a full house. The exit points for today's match (21:00) are Plaza del Sol (18:30), Gran Plaza (18:40), Plaza Galerías (18:50), and Titanes (19:00). In addition to the 'Ride al Estadio' service, the 'Loop Estadio' circuit will be activated from 19:00, with units every 10 or 15 minutes connecting to Mi Macro Periférico stations. It is worth noting that, unlike in Mexico City, no major road closures are expected in the vicinity of the stadium, betting on the streamlining of traffic flow by traffic agents. Setting affordable ticket prices for the playoff in Guadalajara proved to be a successful strategy. To avoid traffic congestion and facilitate the transfer of fans, the free 'Ride al Estadio' service has been implemented. Just a few hours before World Cup passion takes over Akron Stadium with the qualifying match between New Caledonia and Jamaica, great news was confirmed on social media. This operation includes the coordinated participation of the Zapopan Police (700 officers), State Police, Traffic Police, and 700 private security agents. The security detail began with the arrival of the Jamaica, New Caledonia, and Democratic Republic of the Congo teams at the airport and will be maintained in a strict manner in the teams' hotels and training fields. It is essential that attendees take into account that tickets are strictly digital and must be presented through the official FWC26 Play Off Tournament application to gain entry. Meanwhile, the Electric Train (Lines 1, 2, and 3) will extend its service until midnight, or even an hour after the match concludes in case it goes into extra time or penalties, thus ensuring a safe return for all fans. This system will operate under a pre-registration scheme on the Boleto Móvil platform, where users will obtain a QR code that they must present along with their match ticket when boarding.
