Tijuana Lucha Libre shows

[Jason Smith]

My friends and I are planning a trip from northern ca. for the Epic show on the 17th and we would love to arrive early and see a lucha card. From what I can ascertain these seem to take place on Friday nights. Does anyone know if there is one planned for the 15th and if so what time would it start and where do they take place. I saw a bunch of lucha shows in Mexico City a couple of years ago and I remember a magazine that listed upcoming events. If anyone has access to such information on TJ cards it would be greatly appreciated. We are flying in so I want to purchase our tickets as soon as possible.

Thanks

Jason

They take place on Friday nights at 8:30 at Auditorio de Tijuana for the most part. There should be a show on the 15th as long as basketball or something else doesn't run instead. Cards are usually out a week before.

Getting there is pretty easy, just park on the US side of the border, walk across, and take a cab. Tell them lucha libre and Auditorio, they'll know where to go. Don't pay more than $8 dollars.

Getting back is a little trickier. Some of the cabs don't want to go to the border, and when you do get one it may cost you $10. Go with the $10 because it's a long walk back.

Hopefully you'll get a good show on the 15th and not AAA. XLUM is on the 8th with a rumor of Rey Jr. returning.

Hope this helps you.
