What to check before match day

Tickets and stadium entry
The club’s official stadium page provides a “Compra tus entradas” option for match tickets. Check that page for the arrangements for the match you plan to attend, including how and where tickets are sold.
The Museo Infierno Escarlata is inside Estadio Nemesio Díez, but a museum visit is not confirmation of a general stadium tour. The club estimates about 45 minutes for the museum; visits are self-guided, subject to capacity and club operations, and take place within the time shown on the ticket.
Museum tickets are available through Boletomóvil and at the museum reception. You can show a scannable digital ticket on your phone. Personal photos and videos are permitted in authorized areas, except in the immersive space; commercial filming or production requires prior authorization from Deportivo Toluca FC.
Allowing time for the journey
Plan your departure around your chosen transport and the match or museum schedule. If you are flying into Toluca, the airport-to-hotel transfer guide can help you plan that part of the journey. Travel times can help you set a departure time, but they do not guarantee arrival at a particular time.
If you are driving to a match, advance online parking reservations are available. For the museum, account for its last-entry time as well as the approximately 45-minute visit estimate.
