Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had very little info before showing up at the box office a little after 6:00 for the Sunday night show. Even throw it was posted as a 6:00 event, I was a little reluctant to get there that early figuring it would be a lot of sitting around. We walked into an event that had already begun and continued almost nonstop for more than two hours.
We bought second tier tickets that landed us front row in the corner. I’m sure third tier would’ve been plenty fine, too - but at about $15, might as well take the dive.
Lucha libre means nothing to me - and we had a ridiculous good time, as did the rest of the crowd that included lots of young children.
Highly recommended.

Best entertainment for the money. I went on Tuesday night. I took Uber there and back. You have to leave early, so Uber driver can get to narrow street at event venue. It gets real crowded after event.

We went to Lucha Libre "Glamour" on a Tuesday night, arrived a half hour before the event and bought tickets (see rant below) for Ring 2 and sat 4 rows away from the madness. The entire show is completely ridiculous and incredibly entertaining, definitely worth the cost, and the crowd was equally amusing with their own crude chants and drums(?!). Didn't feel like a tourist trap at all, you could tell there were a lot of regulars, and the fighters interact with the crowd in hilarious ways. It's really a spectacle unlike any other.
My only advice is to avoid buying your tickets in advance online!!!! We bought Ring 1 tickets from Ticketmaster for $350 pesos each ($17 USD, the actual cost) but didn't see the disclaimer that you have to arrive AT LEAST 2 HOURS BEFORE THE SHOW. As you'll see in most other posts, the neighborhood the coliseum is in is not great to spend time in at night - you literally see hookers and drug dealers on the corners and the alleys surrounding the venue are what nightmares are made of. Why, then, would a huge company like Ticketmaster ask that people hang around for 2 hours - something I have never seen for any event ever? When we got to the ticket window to show our tickets, the guy was shocked that we were so late (again, 30 minutes before the fight, lines were not crazy, there is signage about the policy) and said he couldn't honor out seats or payment, so we bought new ones. Also TM will automatically set you up with the "best" seats (Ring 1), where you may end up with a 350 lb man in your lap, or at the very least a michelada, at the highest available price. Lastly, trying to get a refund from TM is a whole other circus that is just not worth the energy. Enjoy the full experience, absolutely go, and buy your tickets when you arrive - it's highly unlikely they will be sold out!

Very enjoyable, amusing, and the athletic theatrics are quite impressive. Sundays are "Familiar", starting at 6:00 pm, and the action (and audience participation) is suitable for kids. Tuesdays are "Noche de Glamour" starting later, and much raunchier, more rabid and obnoxious participation of the audience. Show lasts about 2.5 hours. The luchadores action makes it into the first and second row; get 3rd row (200 MX on Sundays) or 4th (180 MX) or farther if you are timid. No need for reservations; there are plenty of seats and you can buy at the door. We used the Moovit app to get there and back home via bus (Moovit is a must-have for bus system in GDL!!). Beers, snacks available in the coliseum by roving vendors, slightly less expensive if you buy at the concession stand. This was way more fun than I anticipated, and I totally recommend it.

My husband really wanted to do this so I went along. I was surprised at how entertaining it all was, the wrestlers, their outfits, the crowd interaction. We went on Sunday family day. Starts at 6pm. Walked right up at 6pm and bought front row tickets for $10. The arena was about half full. My husband really wanted front row
But beware. The wrestlers do come out into the audience and you might be involved in their fights sitting so close.

Only Tuesday and Sundays are there lucha libre done here. But it's worth the trip!! Just make sure you Uber or taxi out of the neighborhood soon after it's over around 10:30 PM because the area is sketchy. Great fun. Tixs are between 50 to 300 pesos.

This was a blast. My family sat in the lower section. Throughout the matches, the upper level section chanted at the bottom level and vice versa. The wrestlers were entertaining but the fact that the crowd was involved made it even more fun. Food and drinks are delivered right to your chairs. I'd highly recommend anyone to go.

Having been a massive wrestling fan as a child, I was obliged to go and experience a lucha libre night in the flesh. The first I noticed was that they don’t accept card payments through the entire venue. This means you need to come prepared with cash. Other than that, the entrance was easy. The auditorium is somewhat big. The atmosphere fun & you get to watch several matches back to back. Without giving away too much, expect theatrics, acrobatics & showgirls between intervals. It’s honestly a great cultural experience that the Mexicans take seriously. After the event, there was a massive music jam in the lobby. People were dancing & shaking. It was incredible! Being a tourist, I happened to notice that there were many other tourists. Most of which were American understandably so. If you don’t have access to roaming data, the cafe adjacent to the venue has Wi-fi which they were kind enough to let me use.

I went to a Tuesday (April 3rd) night's Lucha Libre. What an experience! It was fun, the crowd got into it, and I had a great time. Matches lasted almost 2 hours, no stop, no breaks. I was expecting a "intermission", nope....
The only thing I'd say for tourist, the neighborhood is not the best for walking around after match time. Get back into your uber when the match is done.

They will land in your lap in first row, and the beers from the first row end up in the second. But sit too far back and you are in the middle of the “crowd”. Unless you are traveling with a big group, it is better to observe from a row or two away.
Bring cash as they don’t take credit cards.
I went with locals and we were able to park less than a block away. But driving yourself is not recommended for visitors.

Hello are the luche libre shows also in Sunday’s because I can’t find them on Ticketmaster?
Written 20 May 2022
Would it be a better experience if I booked a tour that provided tickets and transportation or should I arrive and buy at the stadium myself?

Permiten cámaras fotográficas en la lucha libre?
Written 12 September 2017
Hola Héctor A. Sí si permiten pero que no se te olvide que la zona no es digamos super segura. Adentro sí, pero vete con un buen grupo de amigos, en bola no pasa nada, y en cuanto se acabe el show desalojan, que se diviertan mucho y que tengan unas buenas fotos.
