We saw lucha libre here. It was quite the spectacle. Lots of amazing athleticism. A must see for visitors.

Good ole wresting fun! Tip: if you think you see ticket scalpers, guys in front of the arena calling you to join them, they're not. I found out that they can get you ring side. Sometimes the ticket booth line can get long. These guys know guys at the door that know guys inside that'll get you in quick and you pay face value. No tricks. And they're good seats. If you haven't been to see lucha libre, you're in for a treat! Only Monday nights at 8pm. Get in early. There's definitely drama: between wrestlers, between both sides of the audience, and between the audience and the wrestlers. If you like to watch, enjoy it. If you like to be part of it, watch what people say and do the same. There will be swearing and it's okay. You'll be in a family environment and it's all fun! If you haven't eaten, there's plenty of food: local cemitas, hot food, donuts, candy, cotton candy, beer, cola, etc. Food offering is nonstop, from the moment you sit down till the moment you get up and leave. read more

Arena Puebla - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Puebla, PUE

Lucha libre night in Puebla!! What better way to experience Mexican culture than to chill with locals and watch a Lucha Libre Show! The arena was packed and the atmosphere chaotic! The fights where well performed, luchadores athletic and fearless. The show was really exciting! On Several occasions luchadores jumped over the top rope, flying in the air onto their opponents- Not caring about their bodies. The local crowd went nuts. Some things I didn't appreciate were the poor service from the doorman. I was ignored a few times when I asked where to find my seats. The flimsy, metal seats were not labeled so you could both know where your reserved seats were with out help. I would personally like a modernized arena, besides that the show was Great. read more

Viva Lucha Libre! This place is so awesome! For about $10, I got ringside seats to the coolest show in Puebla! This arena hosts Lucha Libre matches, as well as some boxing matches occasionally. It is located about five blocks from the Zocalo, and is a great place to check out some wrestling! The ticket window opens early, so you can be sure to get some great seats if you show up early. The staff is helpful when getting you to your seats, and they sell sandwiches, peanuts, candy, sodas and beers for a bit more than you'd pay at the local bars, but what do you expect to pay at a sporting event? The Lucha Libre fight was incredible- they have two leagues. We went and saw the CMLL, which is the more technical, "serious" and authentic league. We only got to see one midget wrestle, dressed as a bird. The ref kinda stands around shrugging through most of the mayhem that occurs. While watching the fight, one of the wrestlers wearing jerry curls was beating up on a madman wrestler. The fisticuffs ended up spilling outside of the ring, where they ended up fighting in front of us. The good guy pulled a small child forcibly from his seat next to us, and slammed his opponents face into the chair several times before smashing an umbrella and one of the vendors' trays of snacks on the bad guy's head. The arena is clean, and the seats move, which can be a blessing and a curse- they move when a luchador is thrown into them, or they can topple over backwards if everyone leans back. The restrooms are in the rear, consisting of a troff to pee in. Everything was freshly painted, and the place was clean. Outside of the arena, a bunch of ancillary shops set up, selling wrestling paraphernalia and masks, which is awesome! read more
