What is the "Fake Chichen Itza Online Ticket Brokers" scam in Valladolid?

Question

Accepted Answer

Valladolid is the closest large town to Chichen Itza, making it a base for many visitors. Scam websites and social media accounts sell Chichen Itza tickets at a significant markup, claiming to offer skip-the-line access or bundled audio guide services. INAH official tickets are available online at the same price regardless of time of day. Fake broker tickets are sometimes completely invalid and refused at the entrance, leaving visitors stranded on the day. Buy Chichen Itza tickets only from the official INAH website (inah.gob.mx) or at the site entrance. Be aware that official tickets have a fixed daily limit and sell out in high season — book early but only through official channels. No legitimate skip-the-line service exists for Chichen Itza.
