The Corona Capital is considered one of the most important and long-lived festivals in Mexico, which it has achieved and positioned thanks to the vast musical offer since 2010. However, over time the costs have been increasing, either due to the inflation or demand.
In 2023, the Corona Capital will take place in three days, on November 17, 18 and 19 at Curva 4 of the Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome. In addition, it has an important poster: Arcade Fire, Pulp, Alanis Morissette, Blur, The Black Keys, Thirty Seconds To Mars, The Cure, The Chemical Brother and Pet Shop Boys, such as bands and main artists. But, in total there are almost 70 artists announced.
In accordance with The financialhe Corona Capital in 2019 cost 2 thousand 200 pesosin 2022 doubled and reached 4 thousand 800 pesos. But, it must be made clear that the price depends on the phase in which they are purchased, as well as the type of ticket: General, Comfort, Plus, Club Area. As the first phase runs out, the second increases in value, and so on. Plan wisely? Yeah that’s right.

Really worth it? The festival in his first phase of general sale (either fertilizers) already with charges from the ticket office, it cost 5 thousand 154 pesos, which sold out in minutes on June 10. Because? Preferential pre-sale for exclusive Citibanamex members and other advance sales on June 8 and 9.
Then in Phase 2, the ticket had a value of 6 thousand 47 pesos. But according to infobaethe reality is that from the first day of sales the phases were sold out immediately, until reaching 3 and almost immediately at 4. The latter lasted a few more days with a cost of 8 thousand 365 pesos.
However, on the morning of June 19, Ticketmaster and Corona Capital announced the entrance to the phase 5. Therefore, reached its maximum price in history, not only in Mexico but in the world for a general ticket without any secondary amenity. So, the cost rose to 10 thousand 980 pesos + Ticketmaster service charges, which gives a total of 12 thousand 600 pesos.
The price of Corona Capital in its fifth phase equivalent to 61 minimum wages in Mexicowhich is from 207.44 pesos a day, except for certain border areas. Therefore, in order to buy a ticket you will have to work approximately up to three months.
Why is Corona Capital the most expensive festival in the world?
In Mexico, there are several music festivals that, although they are not as cheap, do not cost as much as Corona in 2023. For example, the Tecate Pal Norte, Tecate Emblema, Vive Latino, Flow Festamong others.
In 2023, the price in Phase 3 of the Tecate Emblem General ended at 3,507 pesos. For his part, he North Pal Tecatehe general ticket+ it cost 2,495. While the Live latino in its fourth phase it reached 3,800 pesos, and the Flow Fest will hardly reveal his sign for November 25 and 26.
What happens globally? The Corona Capital, Mexican festival becomes the most expensive around the world. For example, the great monster of coachella It had a price in 2023 from 499 to 599 dollars for the general ticket (of 8,500 to 10,200 Mexican pesos). Likewise, the British festival of Glastonbury 2023 cost 340 pounds, the equivalent of 7,725 Mexican pesos, or the lollapalooza in 385 dollars, that is, approximately 6,600 pesos.
With everything and the regulations, in Mexico Ocesa and Ticketmaster have a monopoly in the music industry, so they set the prices. For this reason, we ask Is it really worth paying that amount for the product that is delivered?
Finally, this price has not been declared as the final one, therefore, we can expect Phase 6,7 and even 8 to come out. Would you pay that amount to go to the festival this year?
