Hello and welcome - hope you have a great time!Parfaitaccompli wrote:First time poster, I'm from Australia, missed the home gigs this time around, but ended up being in CDMX at the right time to catch this one.
Given most posters on this thread seem to be out of towners, figured I'd sign up. Hola!

Let me know if you have troubles. I ended up connecting with a friend of a friend to buy these in Mexico because the Etix/will call were not guaranteed. My Spanish isn’t great, either, but I got resources to help if you need it.Parfaitaccompli wrote:Cheers everyone!
. No idea what the venue is like, and my Spanish sucks so e-tix better work. :/
Oh, thanks, that's really nice of you. We booked tickets in July, but didn't print them out so am hoping digital copies are fine. I think I'm too old for an afterparty but will keep it in mind if I'm still awake by then.Chaotican wrote:Let me know if you have troubles.

... we hope you're having a wonderful sunny day ...That’s the problem... the venue said that they may resell the tickets if the tickets aren’t picked up 24 hrs prior to the show. My friend from Mexico City argued with them. They may not, but they have that right. They are open now if you want to try and then shout if there’s issues.Parfaitaccompli wrote:
Edit: just realised they aren't e-tix at all, travelling companion didn't read the email. Can just collect at the venue, site says box office or points of sale, all good.
... I think you can relax. The concert is not sold out, so why should they sell exactly your ticket ... ....He didn't take our details, but yeah, should prob be fine. Famous last words.Being645 wrote:Ah that sounds good ...
... plus they are informed of your coming now ... that should be sufficient ...

Here's a basic page with first vids ... some of questionable quality, but not all bad...
I think you hit the nail on head on both the energy and the sound. I was at the top of the standing section near the sound desk, and something was a bit off. Vision Thing got the section I was in a lot more animated. Though not a favourite musically of mine, lyrically it was interesting to hear in Mexico given current politics, and being in a bit of crowd that suddenly exploded with energy for it was a highlight.Chaotican wrote: Once inside, the crowd seemed a bit sedate, or at least their energy was. Highlights were Dominion, Something Fast/IWW and Lucretia. The sound mix seemed off to me at times, in a way that impacted the feel of it, but I couldn’t articulate how and it may well just be me because no one else mentioned it!
Afterwards, the crowd didn’t leave, which was charming. They stayed and chanted “seesters!� well after Corrosion and cheered when Dylan and Ben returned to the stage. Everyone I spoke to was very happy afterwards.
... ... thanks to you and the Cure Community for the photo and the confirmation of the setlist ... ...
Good times come to me now
