It's official. Tickets for
México's Only PGA TOUR Event

year, fans have the
opportunity to select from
the three types of tickets;
Grounds, El Camino and

In 2010, tournament
officials are unveiling a
new general admission price
of only $10 USD for grounds
tickets. In order to make
the tournament more
accessible for all golf
fans, locals and tourists
alike, grounds tickets have
been reduced to this great,
new, low price. For only $10
USD, you can walk along the
fairways of the Greg
Norman-designed El Camaleón
Golf Club as the world's
best golfers compete for the
MGC title.
For the fan looking for a
more filling experience, the
Mayakoba Golf Classic is
proud to once again offer
the popular El Camino
hospitality ticket option.
For just $75 USD, golf fans
can enjoy spectacular views
from private, elevated
hospitality venues as well
as complimentary food and
beverage service. El Camino
facilities will be located
at the 10th green, the 15th
green and the 18th tee box.
The final ticket option
available to the public is
the Mayakoba Golf Classic's
18th hole skybox, the Fiesta
Club. Much like the name
indicates, the Fiesta Club
offers a fun-filled
environment right on top of
the action at the
competition's closing hole.
Complimentary food and
beverage service adds to the
atmosphere and ensures that
guests will not leave
unsatisfied. Fiesta Club
ticket holders also have
access to the three El
Camino facilities.
