The organization of one of the most anticipated matches in LaLiga MX, the Clásico Joven between Club América and Cruz Azul, has been embroiled in a controversy beyond sports: the prices published for stadium parking have generated criticism among fans.
High Price and Reactions on Social Media Club América's official ticketing platform, FANKI, published on its website the cost of parking for the match corresponding to Matchday 14 of the Clausura 2026, scheduled at the newly remodeled Azteca Stadium. According to information published in various media, the ticket prices for the América vs. Cruz Azul match have also been rejected by fans. The ticket costs range from accessible levels, around 683 pesos, to exclusive areas exceeding 9,000 pesos in the stadium's most premium sections. These figures have sparked comparisons with other events and even with season ticket prices for teams like Chivas or European clubs, intensifying the discussion on social media.
There, it was stated that parking would cost 1,139.20 pesos, a figure that surprised many Mexican football fans and generated negative reactions on social media. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction with this price, calling it "high" or out of place for a sporting event, especially when compared to what is commonly paid for parking at other Liga MX games. Many also questioned whether these costs reflect an adjustment after the stadium's remodeling.
Ticketing Platform Deletes the Post Following the wave of comments and complaints on platforms like X, the post showing the parking prices was removed from the official sales platform, which also caught the attention of several fans. To date, the club or the ticketing platform has not issued an official statement clarifying the situation. This type of movement on digital platforms usually occurs when there is a "rectification" or adjustment in the information, but in this case, it has not been confirmed if the price will be modified or was only temporarily removed due to an error.
Ticket Prices for the Clásico Joven Also Spark Debate Concern over costs was not limited to parking.
