Tickets cost 85,400 to 493,000 Colombian pesos (about US$27 to US$156) at Tuboleta, the arena’s ticket seller. For a US visitor in Medellín in December, it is a local night out in Spanish.

Who Alcolirykoz Are and Why the Show Matters

The Alcolirykoz Medellín concert features a rap group of three artists named Gambeta, Kaztro and Fazeta. Their own website says they were born in a working-class neighbourhood and have been making music for more than a decade.

The same site calls their sound “rap en estado puro”, which means rap in its pure form. It adds that they grew up on soul, blues, salsa, boleros and funk.

The biography on their site explains the name: three friends filled the letters between A and Z, hence AlcolirykoZ. An earlier project called ArneZ faded fast, and the trio formed from what was left.

Tuboleta calls the night “El Remate del Año”, a phrase that means the finale of the year. Its text says the stories that were born in Aranjuez, a district of Medellín, return “in the voice of a whole city”.

That makes the Alcolirykoz Medellín concert a home-town show for a local act rather than a stadium tour built for tourists. The group raps in Spanish, so expect a night in Spanish.

The biography counts six musical works and is signed by the writer Gilmer Mesa, who calls the group essential to Latin American music today. The site gives no titles, years or sales figures.

Tuboleta numbers the seating sectors in the 300s and 400s and sells the main floor as Platea, labelled La Cuadra for this show. Its page lists the seating as numbered and offers a 3D map of the arena.

Alcolirykoz Medellín Tickets and Prices

For the Alcolirykoz Medellín concert, Tuboleta sells numbered seating and a main-floor zone called Platea, which it labels La Cuadra for this show. Prices include the service fee, and each zone has a launch price and a higher full price.

The cheapest Alcolirykoz Medellín concert seats are in the upper level, Piso 4. Sectors 403 to 404 and 416 to 417 cost 85,400 pesos (about US$27) at launch and 99,800 pesos (about US$32) at full price.

Other Piso 4 sectors cost 122,700 pesos (about US$39) at launch and 122,600 pesos (about US$39) at full price. The Piso 4 partial-view sectors cost 96,200 pesos (about US$30).

The middle level, Piso 3, runs from 168,500 pesos (about US$53) at launch to 228,500 pesos (about US$72) at full price. Sectors 307 to 309 cost 194,400 pesos (about US$61) at full price.

The Platea floor costs 245,300 pesos (about US$78) at launch and 288,600 pesos (about US$91) at full price. The Primavera Lounge costs 254,900 pesos (about US$81) and then 299,400 pesos (about US$95).

The top tier, Tribuna Fan Ninjaz, costs 419,700 pesos (about US$133) at launch and 493,000 pesos (about US$156) at full price. Tuboleta lists 35 seats at the launch price and 200 at the full price.

Tuboleta also sells three Golden Ticket packages, and their prices exclude its service fee. The Davibank package costs 480,000 pesos (about US$152) and adds fast-lane entry, a pre-show lounge, parking and an after-party.

The “Somos fan de los fans” package costs 520,000 pesos (about US$164) and includes the soundcheck, the band’s rehearsal before doors open, plus a poster. The Tribuna Fan or General+ package costs 680,000 pesos (about US$215) and lets you in before the general public.

Each zone moves to the full price on its own once its launch allocation sells out. Tuboleta does not say which zones have already switched, so the price you see at checkout is the one that counts.

Dollar figures use 3,164 pesos per US dollar, the rate on Saturday 31 October 2026. Card fees and the rate your bank applies will shift the final cost by a few dollars.

How to Buy Tickets From Abroad

Tuboleta says it is the only authorised ticket operator for DAVIarena and tells buyers to use its site or its authorised sales points. Tickets bought elsewhere are not covered by that guarantee of entry.

The general sale for the Alcolirykoz Medellín concert opened on Friday 2 October 2026 and runs until stock is gone. The page does not say whether any zone is already sold out.

Colombian cards, the bank-transfer system PSE and the instalment service Addi are accepted. A separate button handles cards issued outside Colombia.

Foreign cards work only from the general sale, which is now open. Tuboleta says those tickets are handed over at the box office, and only to the person who paid.

Bring the card you paid with and your passport, and ask Tuboleta how early the box office opens. Other buyers get their tickets in the Tuboleta Pass app in the days before the show.

The limit is four tickets per purchase. Web, call-centre and sales-point orders carry an extra delivery fee that Tuboleta shows before payment.

DAVIarena and How to Get There

The Alcolirykoz Medellín concert is held at DAVIarena, which stands at Carrera 49 number 52 Sur-200 in Sabaneta, a municipality in the Medellín metro area. Tuboleta stresses that it is not inside Medellín itself.

The nearest metro stop is Itagüí station on Line A, about 500 metres away. Tuboleta says the walk takes about five minutes.

Tuboleta’s FAQ puts the arena near Mayorca and about 500 metres from Itagüí station, and it links a map. Ask your hotel or the Metro de Medellín for the last train on the night.

No end time is published for the show. Book a licensed taxi or a ride-hailing car for the trip back before the show starts.

Tuboleta lists areas for people with reduced mobility at the Alcolirykoz Medellín concert. Tell its customer line when you buy and tell the staff at the door on the day.

Rules at the Door

Tuboleta lists 18 as the minimum age for the Alcolirykoz Medellín concert. Its conditions also say minors may enter, that the parent or guardian decides where they sit, and that the alcohol-free sectors are recommended for them.

Women who are visibly pregnant are not admitted, which Tuboleta says follows the recommendations of the authorities. Its page lists no banned items, so ask Tuboleta before you bring a bag.

Sectors 305, 306, 310, 311, 405, 406, 414 and 415 are alcohol-free at the Alcolirykoz Medellín concert. No drinks with alcohol are sold or drunk there.

Sectors 301, 315, 401, 402, 418 and 419 may have a blocked view because of screens, lights and sound towers. Buyers accept that when they buy, and Tuboleta takes no complaints about it.

Tips for US and Foreign Visitors

The US State Department says US citizens need no visa for stays of 90 days or less in Colombia. The passport must be valid on arrival and for the whole stay.

The same page says a traveller may carry up to US$10,000 in cash across the border, and must declare any larger amount. A vaccination is required for travellers coming from certain countries or visiting certain national parks, and the page refers to Colombia’s health ministry for details.

The department’s Colombia advisory showed Level 3, “Reconsider Travel”, dated 17 April 2025, when we read it. It says violent crime is common in many areas and carries the line “Travel only during daylight hours”, and its text does not name Medellín.

A concert that ends after dark means a night journey home, so book your ride before the Alcolirykoz Medellín concert starts. Keep your phone and a copy of your passport on you, not in a back pocket.

Food and drink prices at the arena are not published, so budget for the ticket and a ride home. Ask Tuboleta whether cards or cash are taken at the bars.

What Is Not Confirmed Yet

Tuboleta names only a responsible company, Breakfast TBL S.A.S, and no promoter or support acts. The band’s own tour page shows no date for the Alcolirykoz Medellín concert, so Tuboleta is the only source for the schedule.

No set list or guest artists are published for this concert, and the end time is not known. Tuboleta warns that times and programme can change for operational, weather or authority reasons.

The Golden Ticket packages are listed with limited units (100, 30 and 50 plus 50), but the page does not say how many are left. It also does not say whether any ordinary zone is sold out.

Tuboleta gives no refund rule in the text we read, so ask it before you buy. It lists 18 as the minimum age but admits minors with a guardian, so confirm that rule before you bring a teenager.
