“Teotihuacán was great. Unfortunately, our tickets were’t accepted. Gate 5, 9am on day specified on tickets. They indicated our receipt needed to match the font/formatting of the tickets. Had to buy new ones and provider did not issue a refund. Save your money and time - just buy them at the gate for $5 each.”
