When I log onto the Mexican Ticketmaster site, it only allows me to select "Banamex" credit cards. Even when I tell the site my credit card is from another country, it still only gives me a Banamex Visa or Mastercard option. I tried putting in my credit card info anyway and it wouldn't work. Any suggestions? I saw an old thread that said you have to buy a pre-paod Mexican Credit Card?

    On one of the pages there is a tab to click to indicate that your address is out of the country. It should take you to a new bill page where you can choose Visa, MC, etc.... I was able use my Visa card to purchase tickets.

    Yesterday's sale was only for Banamex card holders. This is a regular practice in Ticketmaster Mexico.
    Today the tickets will be available to everyone, so you should see more options other than only Banamex.

    I dont know. How many tickets do you want to buy? Don't worry they usually sellout until October. Do youy want me to help you buy them? I have a ticketstand next to my job.

    I'm in California and trying to buy tickets, but it appears that the only option for folks outside of Mexico is the Int'l Will Call. According to the verbiage, it says there will be no Will Call on the day of the event, and Will Call tickets are to be picked up 48-hours before the event, otherwise they'll be cancelled. Are you folks all getting there two days before the event to get your tickets? My Spanish is not so good so I may have mis-read this.
    Rock on!

    The international Will call pickup is one hour before the show.

    International Will Call has different language than regular Will Call.

    Will call: Mexico
    Pick up your tickets, Will Call can be collected 24 hours after purchase and 2 day prior to the event date (or will be cancelled) at Ticketmaster Outlets in Mexico: Farmacias del Ahorro, Gandhi, Mega Comercial Mexicana, Liverpool, Fabricas de Francia (MIXUP DOES NOT PROVIDE WILL CALL SERVICE) and 1 hour prior to the event at the venue's box office if you bought your tickets 72 hrs. Prior to event date. NOTE: some box office do not provide Will Call service, take a look in to the event information) Tickets can only be retrieved by the cardholder with the order confirmation number, credit card used to make the purchase and a valid photo ID with signature (IFE, military ID, professional ID or passport). Web, mini or non embossed cards are not accepted with this delivery method. Important: All tickets not collected 48 hours before the event will be cancelled without prior notification.

    Will call: Other country
    ONLY FOR NON MEXICAN ISSUED CREDIT CARDS. Tickets held at Will Call can be collected 24 hours after the purchase and 1 day prior to the event at Ticketmaster Outlets in Mexico (MIXUP DOES NOT PROVIDE WILL CALL SERVICE) or 1 hour prior to the event in the venue's box office. Tickets can only be retrieved by the cardholder with the order confirmation number, credit card used to make the purchase and a valid photo ID with signature (state ID, driver's license or passport).Web, mini or non embossed cards are not accepted with this delivery method.

    Thanks! That makes me feel better about getting tix for the show. I can fly out the day before only, thus the verbiage I was reading was clearly the Will Call for MX residents.
    Rock on!

    I waited too long and missed out on the General A seats, plus my wife does not like to stand. So I got the following which is on Mike's side:
    Section: NA-05A
    Row: 8
    Seats: 1 - 4

    I'm up for any kind of meet-up. Just my wife and I and our Spanish is so-so. I have two extras just in case one of my colleagues (who is actually from Mexico City) feels like tagging along. I need to book my hotel so I'll probably book where the PJ community is staying.

    Nos vemos en Mexico!

    That's cool, I thought of getting seats also as i am old (40) but really wanna try and get up close. My GF likes staying somewhere nice so I think we are gonna book the St. Regis, but please let m know if you find out about a specific hotel where the PJ community is staying.
