    Does $540 round trip California to Mexico City sound like an ok deal? Fly in Friday return Sunday Through Google flights

    NO! I booked my flight yesterday from Baltimore to Mexico City for 6'something... And one of those legs is business class. You should be able to find cheaper.

    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!

    Some people are booking the Viator early morning tour on the 27th, Me included. booked solo but am fairly certain there will be some PJ tourists on the tour . Was $50 something.
    IF NOTHING IS EVERYTHING, I'LL HAVE IT ALL.

    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 :)

    What do these seats mean? section GRAL-A, row G3

    Is this GA (no seats)?

    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?
