We recently visited Ciudad De Mexico to visit Our Lady, visit an orphanage and watch a soccer match El Classico.We were disappointed for not being able to buy tickets before hand through StubHub without a Mexico address.We took our chances to buy tickets off of scalpers .We found several offering upto triple the price! We bought them only to find out later that the tickets were fake.The tickets had name and date of the event on top of an old ticket #sticker possibly copy establisment .The Azteca Stadium sold event tickets to locals in 4 hours.I wish Police cared about the scalpers ripping off tourists right in front of their eyes.The man selling us fake tickets knew which police to watch out for??!!! The Azteca Stadium should not allow this buy and sell from outside.We went to another Stadium and pretty much saw same scams.please be aware of scammers in Mexico City. Do not trust anyone.StubHub Please have more consideration in not selling tickets to people who will only profit and jeopardize people. Its sad that they are all over Stadium.Stub Hub please sell tickets from US for out of...
Read moreItaly vs West Germany | 4-3 (1970 WC SF)
This classic is heralded across football punditry as "The Game of the Century" primarily because a) it featured two football powerhouses, Italy and West Germany, b) provided five goals in extra time c) and it was a World Cup semifinal.

Read moreAttended a fútbol game here. It’s pretty straightforward and seem-less to get through on a weekday with less popular teams playing. We ended printing the tickets out at an office max since for about 10pesos since we were having problems with the Ticketmaster app. The only confusing part when entering was that since we had seats on the middle side of the stadium they kept directly us to either side as labeled on the signage but then refused to let us in on one side and directed us to the other side for which we had already been turned away and told to go to the other side. No language barriers involved as we all spoke Spanish, it just seems like the staff was confused on what side to let us in through. Small bags seemed to be allowed but no umbrellas. They had plenty of snack options (popcorn, ramen, chips, nuts, beer and Coca-Cola). If you have the FanID app it makes it easier for you to get in quicker, since it seems they just scan your face and run it through...
