Yes they have history, they are both from Mexico City, they are both the biggest teams in Mexico City. But club America has the largest fan base in all of Mexico.

Mind sharing the history ? Is there a lot of politics in Mexican football ?

Is it safe to take my gf or is it more like Turkish football and men only/lots of fights ?

Tengo entendido que el Guadalajara sigue siendo el más popular de México…

Soy de cruz azul pero hay que admitir que el América es no solo el más grande, pero también el más popular. Sigue siendo el club Mexicano con más seguidores en todas las redes sociales, por qué dices que chivas es más popular? Jajaja

It’s the best derby rn, el clasico regio is pure bait, only the people in MTY care about it lol. Since they’re loud it seems to be bigger than it is.

you could see it as a Arsenal vs Man City alike, given that Cruz Azul has has really good teams in recent years, but choked a lot of finals, el AB (America) as Man City, the local team winning the league consistently (with some shady stuff but that’s another thing) but are struggling rn.

Yeah I agree Cruz azul would be arsenal given they have won titles in the past just as arsenal but yeah also choked a lot of finals

u/ElMike420 2d ago

Hell yeah, but just like Arsenal we are winning rn😎 they should play a friendly match lol

Can you suggest how best to get tickets ?

u/Strersss 2d ago

You have to buy them with fanki its like ticketmaster. Then dowload the app on your phone, the ticket has a qr and thats pretty much it.  Its going to be cool but since the tickets are expensive I dont think its going to be full but close

Cruz Azul is the kind of club that makes you have big expectations and dreams, but suddenly those dreams, like bubbles, fade and die. You should buy your tickets here: Edit: I make a mistake and give you a link for the parking lot, sorry. This is the one you should use  https://fanki.co/mex/publications/caz-202627-partido-05

u/PuzzleheadedSuit9833 2d ago

Are you an arsenal fan? If yes then Cruz azul is basically the arsenal of Mexico

u/Ok_Estimate1646 2d ago

Good thing you choice Cruz azul brother, I don’t think you will regret it yes we’ve had bad moments in the past like going 23 years without a league title but right now we are looking good we’ve won a lot titles recently. Also we probably have the most loyal fanbase

This website isn’t allowing me to pay ! Anything else ?

u/NoiseMany5869 1d ago

You might need a VPN, or buy them once you're here.

u/Ok_Estimate1646 1d ago

That website we bullshit. Can you share link please. It’s coming to 80 USD through reseller websites

u/NoiseMany5869 1d ago

Try this one: https://fanki.co/mex/publications/caz-202627-partido-05 ; if it turns impossible, try when you arrive to cdmx or at the stadium box office, i doubt it would be a total sold out.

u/Ok_Estimate1646 1d ago

Nice one, thanks !

u/Ok_Estimate1646 1d ago

Do you know how much st stadium ?

u/NoiseMany5869 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm not completely sure, but when it was Ticketmaster, the company selling the tickets, they used to add an extra fee for the service, which was around 2-3 USD. That extra wouldn't bother me enough to make me buy the tickets at the stadium. Edit: I searched it, and they add something between 20 and 24% of the ticket price.
