    Thanks for the thread Ryan!! You will have 2 more Winnipeggers at the Riazor!! (But we are going to Mazatland for a few days before the concert to do some all inclusive and ziplining!!). We check in early on the same day of the show. Perhaps we could group to the show though!

    Nice! We are coming from Canada as well. One from Winnipeg and the other from Calgary but I used to live in Winnipeg. Sounds like arranging a van shuttle to the show from Riazor is a good idea.

    Would anyone staying at the Riazor be willing to look after my luggage on the Friday morning please? I land early from the UK (about 05:30) but won't be able to get into my room until the afternoon. I don't want to leave it in the lobby or to have to take it out with me.

    Thank you for any offers of help.

    If anyone has, or knows someone who has, tickets to the show they are looking to sell I'm in search of two. GA is preferred but we aren't picky.

    Hi everyone!
    I would love to visit Teotihuacan archeological site while in the city, but I've read buses taking tourists there are known to be regularly boarded by thieves. Is it really like that?
    I don't drive, so renting a car is not an option, and taking a cab would be really expensive. Is there any tour or alternative means of transportation that locals would recommend?
    Or maybe if some of you would also like to visit the site, we could meet up, rent a car and go as a group. That would be great! I would like to go on the 27, if anyone is interested
    Just let me know :smile:
    Cheers!

    Okay I'm back in.

    Someone make me feel better about international will call. I've read that the 48 hours before thing is just for tickets purchased within Mexico, and it's not a hard and fast rule anyway.

    But I've also read you can pick up international tickets at the venue box office an hour before the show. How hard and fast is that rule? Is it possible to pick up tickets the night before?

    Thanks all :)

    You can pick them up at any ticketmaster outlet up to 48 hrs before the show. There are several around Mexico city from what I have gathered.

    Yes it's GA, they do that to track the ticket sales is my understanding. GA rules apply, first come first in.

    Thanks schapp - this won't let me change the country from Mexico for my billing address when I got to purchase them. Anyone have any idea how to get around that?
