Attending a wrestling match might not be at the top of the list of things you'd consider doing on an international trip, but for lucha libre in Mexico City you'll want to make an exception. Yes, the fights are choreographed and ridiculous, and yes, it gets a little loud and boisterous, but it's such an…

I'm planning a trip to Mexico City early next year and will hopefully watch this if it's in season. I'm presuming it goes all throughout the year?
I agree with you in regards to Ticketmaster. I'm not a big fan of TM myself but do the seats by the ramp (in green) and the orange seats you mentioned cost all cost the same at roughly $18?
Lastly, I know you mentioned cameras are not allowed but did you see people use their smartphone cameras to snap photos?
@ Joey -- It seems to be throughout the year, as there are various different leagues and levels. The ticket costs seem to vary more by date than anything else. Smartphones were allowed, but not many people were taking pictures.
Do you know what promotion you were watching? Was it AAA or CMLL? Those are the 2 biggest in Mexico with many huge international stars.
Thanks Tiffany! BTW, I just read an article stating people should check their Ticketmaster accounts for vouchers! There was a recent class action lawsuit that resulted in Ticketmaster giving $2.25 vouchers to patrons. Just an FYI.
definitely a must if in mexico city for a long weekend or more. weeknights you can walk up to the ticket booth and get seats close to the action and avoid ticketmaster altogether.
How food you purchase with a credit card? The only way I can pay is with a Mexican credit card through ticket master. Thanks for the into!
Just now reading this and could not agree more with everything you wrote. Spot on. I attended in late 2019 and everything holds true. Everyone goes to Lucha, felt fine and safe in area around stadium. We sat right next to the Green section you outlined. Sit in the Green section if you can! Tickets were $25-30 but apparently we went on a special event night so tickets more than usual, we had the best seats in the house for $30 amazing value. Bring pesos never had option of card for concessions. The vendors make the event, the beers were 50-70 pesos (i think). I gave first vendor at our seats 200 for two ($9usd) and told him to keep the change. He never left our group of 8, we tipped well but having a private beer vendor who cordinated any food item to be brogut to us (they have at least 20 differnt food options) all because of a simple $5 tip amazing. After its an easy walk to Roma Norte or Condesa or just take an uber. Cant recommend this enough.
