Tigres UANL is one of the most popular football clubs in Mexico. Their home stadium, Estadio Universitario, located in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, has a capacity of over 40,000 spectators. As a result, Tigres UANL matches tend to sell out quickly. If you want to attend a Tigres UANL match, it’s important to plan ahead and purchase tickets as early as possible.
When to Buy Tickets
Tigres UANL tickets typically go on sale about 1-2 months before each match. As soon as tickets are available for purchase, it’s a good idea to buy yours. The most in-demand matches like “Clasico Regiomontano” against rivals CF Monterrey often sell out completely within a few days of tickets going on sale.
If you wait too long, you risk missing out on getting tickets altogether. Buying early also gives you the best choice of seat locations. As an additional incentive, Tigres UANL sometimes offers early bird ticket discounts if you purchase more than 1-2 months in advance.
Where to Buy Tickets
There are several options for purchasing Tigres UANL tickets:
Online
The most convenient way to buy Tigres UANL tickets is through the official club website at www.tigres.com.mx. Tickets can be purchased online by credit card. The website is available in both English and Spanish.
Tickets can also be purchased through authorized third party resellers such as StubHub and VivaTicket. These sites charge higher fees but may have ticket availability when the club website is sold out.
Estadio Universitario Ticket Office
You can purchase tickets in person at the Estadio Universitario ticket office located at Av. Universidad S/N, Ciudad Universitaria, 66451 San Nicolás de los Garza, N.L., Mexico. The ticket office is open Monday-Friday from 9am-6pm and Saturday-Sunday from 10am-2pm on non-match days.

Getting to the Stadium
Estadio Universitario is located on the campus of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL) in San Nicolás de los Garza. There are several transportation options to get to the stadium on match day:
Public Transit

From downtown Monterrey, take Line 1 heading towards Talleres and exit at Universidad station. The metro runs until midnight so it’s a convenient option for returning after night matches too.

Uber, Didi and other rideshare apps are readily available throughout Monterrey metro area. Rideshare can take you directly to the stadium entrance but be prepared for surge pricing after matches finish.
Bus
Several bus routes including Rutas Tigres stop at UANL campus near the stadium. This is a budget friendly option but requires transferring from other bus lines and can be time consuming.

If you choose to drive, be aware parking is extremely limited at Estadio Universitario. Unless you purchase a prepaid parking pass in advance, you will likely end up parking on side streets up to 1km away and walking.
Major streets around the stadium are closed to traffic 4 hours before and 1 hour after matches. Leave plenty of time to navigate road closures on match day.
