El Caribe writes that tickets in the A and AA sections of the stadium cost RD$2,040 and RD$1,700, which puts it beyond the reach of many families. The cost of tickets is only one of the many expenses, which also include food, parking, gas, souvenirs and others. One fan, Lucas Madera, said that he had spent RD$3,400 on tickets plus RD$2,000 in gas to get to the game.
