I'm not much of a professional wrestling fan but this is a MUST do experience in Mexico city. Getting in was a bit hectic but getting tickets before was helpful. Women and men have to do security separately, so be ready for that. Overall had an amazing time

Incredibly fun to watch, highly recommend. My partner and I can into watching Lucha Libre without knowing really what to expect, but it was really fun. We had seats right by the ring and have no regrets.

Finding seats by yourself is tough, I’d say getting help and tipping might be the move. It took us 15 minutes and asking the people whose job it wasn’t three separate times

A must if you’re in the area!

Great production, entertaining wrestlers and great seating. We were in Ring Verde - Row 14 - Seats 53 & 54, the view from here I think was perfect!

How incredible Arena México was during Miss Universe 2024! The atmosphere was absolutely stunning, and the organization was top-notch. The decorations, the lighting, and the entire vibe contributed to a truly memorable event.

Moreover, the energy from the audience was contagious, making all the difference! It’s wonderful to see how Mexican culture was celebrated in such a vibrant and welcoming way. The arena truly became the perfect stage for this celebration of beauty and diversity.

Congratulations to everyone involved in making this magnificent event happen! I’m excited to see who will be crowned, but regardless of the outcome, we already know it was an unforgettable night!

It's kinda like WWE with some wrestling-acting. Everyone knows they're acting, but it's a lot of family fun in a party atmosphere. One of a kind event in Mexico! When I went first round were some mini-mes, second was 2 cool muscle guys, 3rd round was 2 pairs of tag team, young guy against some grandpas. The actors themselves know how to get the crowd going, and carefully perform their fighting moves so their partner doesn't get hurt
