In Plain English
Pitbull is the stage name of the Miami rapper Armando Christian Pérez, known for the hits “Give Me Everything” and “Timber”. His current tour is called I’m Back.
OCESA is a Mexican concert promoter that runs a ticket page for each show. Ticketmaster México is the sales site that carries the tickets.
The Palacio de los Deportes is a large indoor arena in Mexico City that hosts concerts and sport. It is often called the Palacio, and its own website describes it as easy to reach by public transport.
Why Pitbull in Mexico City Matters to US Readers
Pitbull is a Miami artist with a large US audience, so a Mexican date is a short trip for many American fans. An arena night in February means leaving the northern winter for the capital.
Mexico City is a short flight from many US cities, and the show falls on a Wednesday. A fan going to see Pitbull in Mexico City can fly in on Tuesday and be home by the weekend.
The three Mexican dates are announced as a run, on Wednesday 17, Friday 19 and Sunday 21 February. That spacing makes a two-city or three-city trip realistic for a fan with a week of vacation.
The OCESA page marks all three dates as new, which means the announcement is fresh. A US fan should watch the Ticketmaster México page for the sale opening, which has not been announced.
Date, Time and US Eastern Schedule
Pitbull in Mexico City takes place on Wednesday 17 February 2027, a date shown on the OCESA event page. The promoter has not published a start time or a gate time for the night.
Mexico no longer uses daylight saving time, so Mexico City stays on UTC-6 all year, and the Pitbull in Mexico City show follows that clock. In February the United States is on standard time, so New York is one hour ahead of Mexico City.
A 9 p.m. start in Mexico City would be 10 p.m. in New York and 7 p.m. in Los Angeles. This is only an example, because the real time is not published.
Chicago and Dallas share Mexico City’s clock in February. A fan flying in from there does not need to change a watch.
No schedule exists for this show yet, so there is no printed time to plan around. Wait for the official times before you book dinner or a late flight home.
Tickets for Pitbull in Mexico City
Tickets for Pitbull in Mexico City are sold on Ticketmaster México, the seller linked from the OCESA event page. The page shows a general-sale link for each of the three dates.
The Ticketmaster México checkout page was not readable for us, so the opening time of the sale is unconfirmed. We also found no presale announcement for a bank card or fan club.
No ticket prices are published on the OCESA page, so this guide quotes none. The page description mentions VIP packages, with no details of what they include.
For Pitbull in Mexico City, check the Ticketmaster México seat map on sale day, because your card converts pesos to dollars at its own rate. A fan outside Mexico should test the card before the sale opens.
Buy only on Ticketmaster México or at an official OCESA sales point. Offers on social media and street resale carry a real risk of fake tickets.
The promoter has not published age rules, bag rules or a purchase limit for the Mexico City show. We will add them when OCESA or the arena releases them.
How to Get to the Palacio de los Deportes
Pitbull in Mexico City is at the Palacio de los Deportes, in Colonia Granjas México, Iztacalco. The arena’s website describes the venue as being in the east of the city.
The arena’s website names Velódromo as the nearest metro station. It names Goma as the nearest Metrobús stop, the city’s bus rapid transit line.
The arena has its own parking lot, but the website says places are limited and the fee varies. A fan who drives should expect a slow exit after the show.
The arena’s box offices are at gates 1 and 7, between Añil and Atletas avenues. They open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the arena says.
A ride-hailing app is the simpler choice for most visitors, with a pick-up point agreed a few streets from the gate. Agree your meeting point before the show ends, because thousands of fans leave at once.
Where to Stay and What It Costs
Most visitors to Pitbull in Mexico City stay in Roma, Condesa or Polanco, which have many hotels and restaurants. Our city page on <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/expat-cities/mexico-city/”>Mexico City</a> covers neighborhoods, transport and costs.
We found no confirmed hotel or transport prices for February, so we quote none. Compare costs once the start time and the ticket prices are known.
Book a refundable room early, because the show time is not yet fixed. Hotel prices for 17 February are not confirmed, so compare a few rooms before you pay.
Safety and Tips for US Visitors
Read the US State Department’s Mexico advisory before you book, because it rates each state separately. On 27 October it told Americans to exercise increased caution in Mexico City and in Nuevo León, the state of Monterrey.
For Jalisco, the state of Guadalajara, the same page said to reconsider travel because of crime and kidnapping. It added that violent crime is widespread and common in Mexico.
The State Department says its staff may not hail street taxis. They must use dispatched vehicles, including app services and regulated taxi stands, and visitors can do the same.
The advisory also says its staff may not travel between cities after dark. A fan who plans the Guadalajara or Monterrey show should fly and arrive in daylight.
At a crowded arena such as this one, keep your phone and wallet out of sight and never leave a drink unattended. Stay with people you know and agree on a meeting point in case you are separated.
Check travel.state.gov for passport and entry rules before you book, because rules for visitors can change. This guide does not repeat them.
The Guadalajara and Monterrey Dates
Guadalajara follows on Friday 19 February 2027 at Arena VFG, according to the OCESA event page. Monterrey closes the run on Sunday 21 February at the Auditorio Banamex.
Both dates also link to Ticketmaster México on the OCESA page. We did not confirm addresses, start times or prices for either venue.
Our pages on <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/expat-cities/guadalajara/”>Guadalajara</a> and <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/expat-cities/monterrey/”>Monterrey</a> cover hotels and transport. Read the advisory entry for Jalisco before you plan the Guadalajara leg.
A fan who wants Pitbull in Mexico City and one more night can fly between the cities on the days in between. Compare flight times and refundable fares before you buy the second and third tickets.
More Big Concerts Around the Same Time
Pitbull also plays São Paulo, Brazil, on Sunday 31 January 2027, a few weeks before the Mexican dates. Read our guide: <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/pitbull-in-sao-paulo-nubank-parque-31-january-2027-tickets-2026/”>Pitbull in São Paulo on 31 January 2027</a>.
OCESA lists U2 in Mexico City on 2 March 2027, a big night in the same city a fortnight later. Read our guide: <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/u2-mexico-city-concerts-2027-guide-2026/”>U2 in Mexico City</a>.
Two more Mexico City shows have guides. Compare <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/fuerza-regida-mexico-city-2027/”>Fuerza Regida</a> and <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/nickelback-mexico-city-concert-tickets-2026/”>Nickelback</a>.
These guides use the same format as this one, so you can compare dates, ticket sellers and safety advice. A fan with a long trip in mind can combine two shows in one visit.
What Is Not Confirmed Yet
For Pitbull in Mexico City, the start time, the gate time, the set length and any support act have not been published. The OCESA page confirms the three dates, the cities and the venues, and the schedule will come from the promoter.
Ticket prices, sector names, booking fees and the sale opening time are not confirmed, because the Ticketmaster México checkout was not readable. We also found no published age rules, bag rules or transport plan for this night.
