    Am I the only one that booked the Grand Prix? Nice hotel, 3 minute walk from the stadium.

    Let's have some drinks at the Grand Prix after and keep the party going.. Then everyone can get cabs/shuttle from there.

    Party on Wayne!

    They're booked up at the Grand Prix on concert night. That's not a bad idea either.
    Party on Garth!

    I plan to head over Thursday to grab them just to be sure - it says to grab them 48hrs before the show but someone posted in here that Ten Club said it would be open the day of as well.

    Yeah I'm going to try and get them sometime on Friday. I'd feel better having them in hand before the show and it'll be alright to have a little peak of the layout of the area in the daylight.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can pick up your tickets at any ticketmaster outlet throughout Mexico City...

    I would call to verify or ask someone to help out. Last time I was there, I tried picking the tickets the day before but they told me it was too late and that they could be picked up only at will call, so I ended up picking them up at the ticket booth of the Sports Palace, right across the street from Foro Sol. But this might have changed now.

    I am flying in and not arriving until 11pm Friday night. My only option is to pick up my tickets the day of the show. Does anyone know how early people will be lining up at the venue for GA? Crack of dawn? Any help would be great from someone who has done a show here before.
    Thanks!

    I'm taking pesos and using my credit card for the rest. I heard someone say here that the merch stands are taking credit? I think American is more accepted in cancun than mexico city.

    Can someone from Mexico City please help? If I were to take the Auto from Autobuses del Norte, can you please help me know which ticket to purchase? It seems there are many options.

    I booked the hotel Hotel Riazor about 25-30 minute walk from venue. Safety thoughts walking back after show?

    I stayed at the Riazor for Springsteen show couple years ago...great hotel...very nice people, very helpful. I wouldn't walk to the to the show though....we were close but took a taxi (there were 4 of us)...the surrounding area is a bit sketchy for walking. At least that's what hotel told us. It was fine getting a cab cause it was only about 10 min ride...I was scared shitless being a passenger in car..the rules of road don't apply there it seemed.
