Attended this with a friend who's been to a Lucha Libre on her previous visit to Mexico and recommended we go on our last night in the city. I had a ball of a time! Remember that everything is scripted and staged in the show, so don't expect high-class A grade movie action type things, come with an open mind and lots of energy as you'll be amped up by the crowds' cheers and jeers! To get in the spirit of the occasion, I purchased a Luchador mask at the Mercado de Coyoacan for just 95 pesos earlier that day. Upon arrival to the Arena you will see a few queues, make sure you join the right one. We found it was really easy just purchasing at the door when you arrived. Ignore the scalpers who try and sell you outside the Arena. We went on a Sunday and got there at 5pm, the line moved pretty quickly. If you don't speak Spanish make sure you take a picture of the ticket tiers that flash on the TV screen so you can easily show the ticket counter which tier you want to purchase (in the pic I attached I circled the tier in red for ease of the ticket attendant to see which I was referring to, as it might get hard for them to see from behind the glass). We got the 230 pesos per person ticket which seated us close enough to the ring to see everything but not too close to be mixed up in the action. Don't forget to have some pesos ready to tip the usher who shows you to your seat, we gave our usher 10 pesos. Come with a full belly and only buy drinks when in the arena, there were lots of servers walking around and they'll take your drinks to you when you order. We saw potato chips going for 50 pesos so not worth the splurge for snacks. You're not allowed to bring food and drinks inside too, even water so take note. The show lasts around 2 hours, after it's done, just Uber your way home as the venue is in a grittier part of the city.

I highly recommend coming here during your trip, you won't regret it. I'm Mexican and I came here for the first time with my family. You can see on the screen what they are putting on national TV, if you get lucky they'll put you on TV. When you enter they will check your bag and give you a pat down. Cameras are not allowed and will have to be put in a room of cubbies on the left to the entrance, you'll get a number so hold on to that to get your things back when you leave. They have bathrooms on the right to the entrance. The snacks and drink are right past the entrance before you get into the arena. They have many options that you'll probably be happy with. Getting into the arena you will be seated so I recommend to get there early so you won't miss anything. I think the view from any spot will be good but we sat in the bottom section and I thought the view was great! There are vendors going around during the whole event selling beer, chips, drinks, food, and popcorn. The chairs don't have armrests and the drinks come in cups with no lids so be aware that someone might accidentally spill something on you and make sure to only get as many snacks as you can hold. Also be aware that it is a very loud place so if you bring kids maybe take some soundproof headphones. Outside of the arena they sell masks, costumes, and other souvenirs. Even if you don't understand Spanish you'll be able to go along with the crowd in cheering and yelling. When you're done here there are several restaurants around the area where you can wait for an uber. Definitely come at least once.

“Las luchas”, como se le denomina comúnmente a este deporte mezcla de pantomima, gimnasia olímpica y lucha grecorromana, ha estado envuelto en un halo de misterio que cautiva aún ahora en plena era de los superhéroes y los efectos especiales por inteligencia artificial, la imaginación de grandes y chicos. Hace pocos años mi hijo que vive en Canadá me encargó comprara las máscaras de luchadores tan famosos como El Santo, Blue Demon, y Octagon, nombres que ya son leyenda en el colectivo de todo un continente y que han trascendido allende el Atlántico y el Pacifico. Hasta dónde es verdad y hasta dónde es pantomima las escaramuzas que preparan con tanta teatralidad las y los luchadores sobre el ring? Es difícil saberlo. Lo que es cierto es que los lances desde lo alto de las cuerdas y las caídas son reales. Claro que los intercambios espectaculares de golpes y de “desmayos” y “pérdidas del sentido” fingidos se compensan con el encanto de las rutinas que solo los muy experimentados logran impactar en el ánimo de los aficionados a este deporte de las caídas y los vuelos, que incluso terminan fuera del ring y más allá hasta los asientos de “ring side”! RUDOS versus TÉCNICOS. Esta clasificación ha sido utilizada para separar a los luchadores que no respetan las reglas de la caballerosidad y las que impone el Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, al atacar a su adversario de manera alevosa y contraviniendo inclusive las órdenes del Referí o Árbitro de la contienda. Los Rudos serán siempre”los malos” y los Técnicos “los buenos”, estos últimos ataviados generalmente de colores blancos, dorados y azules claros, mientras que aquellos de colores oscuros, generalmente en negro. MÁSCARAS contra MÁSCARAS (o contra Cabellera). El uniforme del luchador puede incluir máscaras y capas, esto último colabora en las mentes infantiles a crear la fantasía completa del súper héroe (o Super Villano) volador Salvador. En ocasiones lo anterior se utiliza para avivar la atención del Respetable Público, cuando se anuncia que un luchador expondrá su Máscara ante otro. De perder, el vencedor “arrancará” la máscara del perdedor, revelando al mundo su Identidad Secreta. Y similar si pierde la cabellera. Que de manera inconsciente relacionaremos con el cuento de Sansón y Dalila, cuyo poder del hombre radicaba en su melena. De esta suerte “Las Luchas” en México han tenido y enfrentado todo género de vicisitudes a lo largo de su existencia de más de 100 años: desde la creencia de que es “puro cuento” hasta la satanizacion de las “buenas conciencias”, y los accidentes que realmente sufren los luchadores en el Desempeño de su trabajo. En mi humilde opinión, estos trabajadores del ring deben ser respetados y apoyados, ya que en principio son atletas de muy alto desempeño y los que realmente son disciplinados, pueden ser un ejemplo de pundonor y deportivismo que influyan de manera positiva en la niñez mexicana.

레슬링 경기는 매우 실망스러웠다. 레슬러가 빠르지도 않았고 파워넘치는 힘도 없었다. 레슬링 기술은 서로 예약된 동작을 주고 받은것이 확실히 느껴졌다. 공격을 피하지도 않고 기다리는 모습은 자주 볼수 있었고 공격자 선수가 경기장의 바닥을 때리는대도 상대방은 맞은 동작을 보이는 과장된 동작이 여러번 볼수 있었다. 그 돈을 내고 볼 필요 없는 래슬링이다. 한국과 일본 그리고 영국의 선수들이 함께 경기했고, 그들의 레슬링은 더욱더 수준이하 였다. 스트레스를 들어가서 스트레스가 쌓였다. 처음 경험하는 멕시코시티의 레슬링인 루차 리브레. 어제의 경기는 시간의 낭비와 돈의 낭비였다. 그리고 경기장의 직원은 매우 불친절했고 무례했다. 카메라를 가지고 들어갈수 없었는데 고가의 카메라를 경기장에 맡기는데 분실이나 파손에 대한 설명을 들을수도 없었고, 그렇게 이야기하는 직원이 누구인지 설명해 달라해도 거부당했다. 그 직원은 카메라가 문제라면 환불없이 경기장을 나가라는 이야기를 반복했고, 그 이후에도 요청하지 않았는데도 팁을 요구하는 어떤사람을 경기장 안내자라면서 함께 좌석 까지 동행하게했다. 경기후에도 카메라를 다시 찾고도 경기장 입구에서 사진도 못찍게 했다. 매우 실망했다. 최악이다. === The wrestling match was very disappointing. The wrestlers were neither fast nor powerful. The wrestling techniques clearly felt like they were exchanging reserved moves. I often saw them waiting without avoiding attacks, and even when the attacker hit the floor of the stadium, the opponent showed exaggerated movements that were like being hit. This is wrestling that I didn't need to pay that much to see. Korean, Japanese, and British wrestlers competed together, and their wrestling was even worse. I was stressed out and stressed out. My first experience with Lucha Libre, wrestling in Mexico City. Yesterday's match was a waste of time and money. And the staff at the stadium were very unfriendly and rude. I couldn't bring my camera in, but I couldn't get an explanation about losing or damaging my expensive camera when I left it at the stadium, and when I asked who the staff member was, they refused to explain. The staff member repeatedly told me to leave the stadium without a refund if there was a problem with the camera, and even after that, they made a person who asked for a tip accompany me to my seat, saying he was the stadium guide, even though I didn't ask for it. Even after the match, they found my camera again, but they didn't let me take pictures at the stadium entrance. I'm very disappointed. It's the worst. === El combate de lucha libre fue muy decepcionante. Los luchadores no eran rápidos ni poderosos. Las técnicas de lucha claramente se sentían como si estuvieran intercambiando movimientos reservados. A menudo los vi esperar sin evitar los ataques, e incluso cuando el atacante caía al suelo del estadio, el oponente mostraba movimientos exagerados que eran como si lo hubieran golpeado. Esta es una lucha libre por la que no tuve que pagar tanto para ver. Luchadores coreanos, japoneses y británicos compitieron juntos, y su lucha fue aún peor. Estaba estresado y estresado. Mi primera experiencia con la lucha libre, la lucha libre en la Ciudad de México. El combate de ayer fue una pérdida de tiempo y dinero. Y el personal del estadio fue muy antipático y grosero. No pude llevar mi cámara, pero no pude obtener una explicación sobre la pérdida o daño de mi costosa cámara cuando la dejé en el estadio, y cuando pregunté quién era el miembro del personal, se negaron a explicarme. El miembro del personal me dijo repetidamente que me fuera del estadio sin reembolso si había un problema con la cámara, e incluso después de eso, hicieron que una persona que pidió una propina me acompañara a mi asiento, diciendo que era el guía del estadio, a pesar de que no la pedí. Incluso después del partido, encontraron mi cámara nuevamente, pero no me dejaron tomar fotos en la entrada del estadio. Estoy muy decepcionado. Es lo peor.

Got it! Here is a fun and fitting Google review for Lucia Libre at Arena Mexico: ★★★★★ “If you have ever wondered what it feels like to eat tacos while being emotionally invested in a grown man wearing a sparkly mask flying through the air—welcome to Lucia Libre! This place is pure chaos in the best possible way. You are not just watching lucha libre; you are living it. The energy is insane, the crowd is louder than a jet engine, and somewhere between the beer, the micheladas, and the tacos, you start questioning whether you, too, should quit your day job and become a luchador. The food? Solid arena-style eats. The drinks? Strong enough to make you believe you can wrestle. The experience? 100% unforgettable. By the end of the night, I had lost my voice, gained a new respect for acrobatics, and possibly made eye contact with a luchador who now haunts my dreams. Would I go back? ¡Sí, por supuesto! Just make sure to bring your loudest ”¡Luchaaaaaa Libre!” chant and maybe some earplugs. Highly recommended for anyone who likes action, adrenaline, and a side of guacamole.”
