At the time of purchase, you will be able to choose between paying in full or taking advantage of our payment plan. For payment plan installment dates, please click HERE

Please note: if you choose to do so, there will be a one-time $50 payment plan processing fee added to the first payment for your package.

During the initial purchase, you will only be able to use one credit card. If you opted for the payment plan and need to change your credit card to make the next payment, you may do so by logging into your account HERE. Please note: the card charged for the previous payment for the payment plan will be automatically charged for any proceeding charges unless the billing information is changed via the procedure above. If you leave the same credit card on file throughout the payment plan, that card will be automatically charged for each payment and no action will be needed on your end.

There are no additional ticketing fees on top of the prices you see, and all Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Riviera Maya packages provide an all-inclusive experience within the concert venue for all four (4) nights. Please note: The Rosewood Mayakoba package is NOT all-inclusive at the resort. Additionally, we recommend reviewing the Banyan Tree Resort details, as there are additional limitations to the all-inclusive experience at these resorts. All resorts may offer extra amenities that are not included in the resort’s all-inclusive plans, such as spa treatments, exclusive dining experiences, off-site adventures and more. Finally, please be aware that all Mexico residents/subjects will be subject to a 16% added VAT tax, which will be charged as an incidental to the credit card provided to the resort at check-in. Please note: any non-residents who fail to provide their passports and immigration cards to the resort at check-in, will also incur this charge.
