The energy in the arena was electric from start to finish. Even if you’re not a wrestling fan, the atmosphere, crowd interaction, athleticism, and entertainment make this a must-do in Mexico City. The fans were passionate, the wrestlers were amazing, and the entire event felt like one big celebration. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip!
Thank you for your review, Nicole! We’re so glad you got to experience the passion and excitement that make Mexican lucha libre so special. It means a lot to know it was one of the highlights of your trip. We hope you have an amazing time exploring the rest of Mexico!
Warning: do not book this experience through Viator. Lucha Libre is a must-see but.., 1. The “ad” says to arrive 30 min before the event at a location less than a block away. The day of the event, we got a text to go a few blocks further away 30 min earlier. We had to change our dinner plans. 2. The meeting location was a horrible restaurant with mostly pork rinds and fried grasshoppers on the menu. The service was slow and we were aggressively pushed to buy souvenirs. This was a total cash grab! 3. We arrived at the venue, just as the event started, but because the tickets were all screwed up for others in our group, we ended up in late. 4. We had the worst seats! (and we saw other attendees from our group having to do the same thing! We were right on the main aisle, where the beer vendor stood literally in front of us for the first two matches. I finally got up to ask the venue staff to help move us. They were gracious enough to do so, but we lost the ability to watch more than half of the event. I highly recommend people attend Lucha Libre, just by buying tickets directly through Ticketmaster. The nonsense we had to endure through the Viator people made the event not much fun. As a sidenote. My husband and I have attended quite a few excursions and experiences through Viator and other companies. This is the first negative review I’ve ever left.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We respect your opinion, but we would like to provide some additional context, as our understanding of what happened differs in several important ways and we have documentation to support it. 1. Regarding the change of meeting point, due to repair work in the area of the original location, we had to move the meeting to an alternative location just a short walk away. We informed you of this change via WhatsApp the day before the event and, when we did not receive a response, we sent the information again by text message around midday on the day of the event, approximately seven hours before the scheduled meeting time. You replied confirming that you had received the update and mentioned that you would try to arrive as soon as possible. At no point did you express any concerns about the change. Had you done so, we would have gladly offered alternative solutions so that you would not have had to adjust your dinner plans. 2. As for the meeting point, it is indeed a restaurant. Our experience includes a welcome drink and, as an additional courtesy, we usually offer guacamole with a small serving of chapulines (grasshoppers) on the side for anyone interested in trying a traditional Mexican snack. The restaurant’s menu is not part of the experience unless a traveler specifically asks to see it, which was the case here. We also make it clear that any additional food or drinks are at the guest’s own expense. We are sorry if the restaurant’s service did not meet your expectations when ordering food; however, the restaurant operates independently and its service is not part of our experience. 3. Regarding the claim that guests were aggressively pushed to buy souvenirs, we would like to clarify that all purchases are completely optional. While the restaurant displays items such as clothing, sunglasses, jewelry, and other accessories, guests are free to browse them or ignore them. We simply let travelers know that if they are interested in any item, they can ask the restaurant staff for assistance. 4. Regarding your arrival at Arena Mexico, the group arrived at 7:25 PM, before the event’s scheduled start time of 7:30 PM. We also used an entrance with shorter lines to help everyone enter more quickly. You and your husband were among the first people in the group to enter the venue, meaning you were inside before the show began. As for the issue involving other guests, it was unrelated to your reservation and did not affect your entry, as your tickets were issued separately and did not depend on anyone else in order to access the event. 5. Finally, regarding the seats, as you mentioned, they were located next to the Arena’s central aisle, which places them in one of the central lower-level sections of the venue. This is considered one of the best areas in the arena because it offers a central, direct, and close view of both the ring and the stage. We are sorry that a vendor may have temporarily blocked part of your view during portions of the event. However, vendors are part of the arena’s regular operations and are outside of our control. In situations like this, guests can always politely ask the vendor to move so their view is not obstructed. While we respect all opinions, we also believe it is important to clarify points that can be objectively verified and that do not match what occurred during the experience. Reviews are valuable for both travelers and operators, which is why we believe they should be shared responsibly and reflect what actually happened.
It was such a great experience!! Highly recommend. We started at the bar with some drinks and games. Then headed to arena Mexico while we discussed more about Lucha Libre. The seats at arena Mexico was great. Overall we had a brilliant time. Omar was great!!
Well organized. On time. Good value. Memorable experience. Good seats. Good crowd. Wonderful performance and atmosphere.
Thank you for being part of the experience! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope your memories of Mexico City include an unforgettable night of lucha libre.
Our night out at the Arena Mexico watching Lucha Libre was awesome! We decided to walk to the arena and unfortunately, it took a bit longer than anticipated. A young lady, not sure her name, called to see if we were on our way. She was concerned we were going to miss the start of the show. She tried to send me the tickets via Ticketmaster to make sure we got in on time, but encountered some difficulty. She ended up sending her associate named Pedro with the tickets on his phone to walk us in through the gate and to our seats. The attention to detail the willingness to go the extra mile made quite the impression. Thank you for all that you did! The show itself was amazing; we had smiles on our faces the whole time. The energy of the arena and the street outside is something to witness. Do not hesitate to book your attendance, it is well worth it!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that this was one of the best experiences of your trip to Mexico City. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re thrilled that you enjoyed the atmosphere, the seats, and the overall experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable night of lucha libre in the future!
One of the best experiences we had in Mexico City! Great hosts, great seats, and an unforgettable atmosphere.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you had such a memorable experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again for another unforgettable night of lucha libre!
Advertising said good seats and that is not what we experienced we couldn't sit there because view was blocked and it was between wall where people couldn't sit. We had to figure out how to get other seats and the group made us arrive late.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear that the seats did not meet your expectations. However, the assigned seats were located in the lower section of the arena and did not have any obstruction blocking the view of the ring. Regarding the timing, the group arrived at Arena México at 8:30 PM, coinciding with the start of the event. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue improving the experience.
The show was very good, and we enjoyed it, but I believe the logistics could improve. We arrived at the meeting point by 7:00 p.m.; however, the group left around 8:40 p.m., when the event had already started. Personally, I would have liked to arrive earlier to enjoy the complete experience from the beginning. Because it started at 8 p.m. Additionally, the group walked quite fast to the venue, and several people fell behind. My family and I decided to continue at our own pace because we did not want to start the experience stressed from running. Due to this, we had to find our way in on our own to enter the venue, and we could not stop to buy souvenirs or see the stalls outside. I was also concerned that, once separated from the group, no one checked if all participants had arrived safely. As a suggestion, if attendees arrive early at the meeting point, it would be ideal to distribute the tickets in advance or leave earlier for the event, to arrive before the show starts and enjoy the experience more calmly.
Gracias por compartir su experiencia. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron del espectáculo. Nos gustaría aclarar que la cita estaba programada para las 7:30 PM y el grupo llegó a la Arena México aproximadamente a las 8:30 PM. La función no inicia a las 8:00 PM, sino a las 8:30 PM, por lo que la llegada coincidió con el inicio del evento. En cuanto a los recuerdos, generalmente recomendamos adquirirlos al finalizar la función, ya que suele haber más tiempo para recorrer los puestos con tranquilidad sin perderse ninguna parte del espectáculo. Agradecemos sus sugerencias y las tomaremos en cuenta para seguir mejorando la experiencia de nuestros visitantes.
Great atmosphere. The ring is clearly visible everywhere in the room. It is absolutely necessary to see this show. Highly recommended.
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez apprécié l’expérience ainsi que l’ambiance unique de la lucha libre mexicaine. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’une prochaine visite à l’Arena México !
Very kind; the wrestling experience, the explanation, and the welcome were excellent! The view from the sand is also highly recommended.
¡Muchas gracias por sus comentarios! Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de la experiencia, la explicación, la bienvenida y la vista desde la Arena. Comentarios como el suyo nos motivan a seguir ofreciendo una experiencia memorable para nuestros visitantes.
