Eleven people were detained near Mexico City’s Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on Saturday, September 5, over the alleged resale of tickets for the Arre Pepsi Black 2026 festival.

The Citizen Security Secretariat said its officers were conducting security patrols around the venue when they noticed four women and seven men allegedly offering tickets at prices higher than those set at the box office. Some tickets were possibly counterfeit, the agency said.

Police detained the group and referred all 11 people to a civic judge, who will determine the corresponding sanctions. The festival featured acts including Los KDT’s de Linares.
