MEXICO CITY · LIVE SHOW

Franco Escamilla plays his show El Juicio (The Trial) at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City on Saturday 6 February 2027. The promoter OCESA lists the date as new, with general sale set for Thursday 29 October at 11:00 in the morning.

For a US visitor, the show is a chance to spend a night in one of the capital’s best-known halls. No prices, start time or doors time are published yet, so this guide covers what is confirmed and what is not.

What the Show Is and Why It Matters

The promoter’s page names the show Franco Escamilla: El Juicio and lists one date, Saturday 6 February 2027, at the Auditorio Nacional. El Juicio is Spanish for The Trial.

The listing is written in Spanish and does not describe the show, its length or its subject. The promoter has not said in which language the show will be performed.

In plain English: OCESA is the promoter and ticket page, and the Auditorio Nacional is the hall. A general sale is the first day on which the public, not only presale buyers, can buy tickets.

The promoter’s page shows only the Mexico City date, and we found no other dates for Franco Escamilla there. A visitor should therefore not count on a second night.

A Saturday date makes a long weekend in the capital easy to plan. We have not checked flight schedules or fares, so we quote none.

Tickets, Prices and When Sales Open

The OCESA page lists the general sale for Thursday 29 October 2026 at 11:00 in the morning. It names no time zone, so we read it as Mexico City time, which is 1 in the afternoon in New York.

When we opened the page on the morning of 29 October, before the sale time, it still read coming soon. It names no presale and no prices, and its summary text only says that VIP packages are available.

The Auditorio Nacional says its box office sells tickets with no service charge. Its website lists Ticketmaster México as its online seller, which adds a fee, though it adds that some shows use another seller.

The hall does not say which seller will handle the Franco Escamilla show, so start from the OCESA page. Compare the final total at checkout, not the first price you see.

The hall limits purchases to eight tickets per person, according to its website. Its box office opens Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 19:00, and on Sundays and holidays from 11:00 to 18:00.

The hall also says there is no refund if you cannot attend, only if the show is cancelled or postponed. Buy only from OCESA, the box office or Ticketmaster México, because a ticket from a stranger on social media cannot be verified.

The Venue and How to Get There

The Auditorio Nacional stands on the capital’s main boulevard in Polanco, in Mexico City’s Miguel Hidalgo borough. The hall’s website gives its address and box office hours, but no seat count.

The hall’s website says it stages up to 280 performances a year. It also says it was named top theatre for ticket sales seven years running, with about 1.5 million tickets sold in 2019.

The same site says the singer Luis Miguel has given 257 concerts there since 1991. Our <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/luis-miguel-tour-2027-dates-tickets-what-we-know-2026/”>Luis Miguel Tour 2027</a> guide covers his next tour.

The hall’s website says Metro and Metrobús both stop on Line 7 at a station named Auditorio. Metro is the city’s subway, and Metrobús is its bus system on dedicated lanes.

Drivers can use the car park on the west side, opposite the open ground called Campo Marte. The parking page says the entrance is on the side street, reached from the main boulevard or from Calzada Chivatito.

Parking costs MXN 270 (about US$14) per event, paid at machines inside the venue. Each extra hour past a one-hour grace period costs MXN 150 (about US$8).

The car park opens three hours before the show and closes one hour after it ends. Spaces are limited, bicycles park free, and the hall says rates can change without notice.

The hall says it opens two hours before each show and closes two hours after it ends. Arrive early for Franco Escamilla, because the show’s own start time is not published.

Dollar amounts in this guide use 18.65 pesos per US dollar, the rate on 29 October 2026. They are rounded, and your card’s rate will differ.

Rules Inside the Hall

The hall bans food, pets, photo and video cameras, selfie sticks, laser pointers and audio recorders. It also bans weapons, sharp objects, flags on poles, and banners, flowers or balloons that block the view.

Backpacks, suitcases and strollers that reduce other spectators’ comfort must go to a free bag check run by the hall. Travel light, because a suitcase straight from the airport will not be welcome.

For non-children’s concerts, the hall says children must be older than 3 and need their own ticket. That is the hall’s general rule, and the age limit for the Franco Escamilla show is not published.

The hall’s website has pages on wheelchair places, lifts, ramps and accessible parking, but the details were not visible to us. Email [email protected] or call +52 55 9138 1350 before you buy.

Tips for US and Foreign Visitors

US citizens need no visa for tourism for stays of up to 180 days, according to a Mexican consulate’s official visa page. On arrival, immigration issues the Multiple Migratory Form (FMM), which states how long you may stay.

Mexico’s official tourism portal says to keep the form and hand it in when you leave. It warns that losing it can mean a fine, and it says the passport must be valid for the whole stay.

The US State Department, Washington’s foreign ministry, rates Mexico City at Exercise Increased Caution because of crime. It advises extra care at night, outside the frequented tourist areas.

The advisory tells US government staff to rely on dispatched vehicles, including app-based services like Uber, and regulated taxi stands. Private visitors can follow the same sensible rule.

A Saturday show by Franco Escamilla ends late and the crowd leaves at once, so agree on a pick-up point before the final act. Order the car a short walk from the gate.

At the show, keep your phone and wallet out of sight and never leave a drink unattended. Stay with people you know and agree on a meeting point in case you are separated.

Mexico abolished daylight saving time in 2022, so Mexico City stays on UTC-6 all year. In February, New York is one hour ahead, so a hypothetical 8 p.m. start would be 9 p.m. there.

What Is Not Confirmed Yet

The start time, doors time and length of the Franco Escamilla show are not published on the OCESA page. Ticket prices, seating zones, VIP contents and fees are not published either.

No presale is listed, and it is not stated who will sell the show, the hall’s box office or Ticketmaster México. The page still said coming soon on the morning of 29 October, so check it after 11:00, Mexico City time.

We found no other date for Franco Escamilla on the promoter’s page, and no second Mexico City night has been announced. The age limit and the language of the show are not described.

The page itself gives only the show name, date, hall and sale time. It does not say what kind of show El Juicio is, so we make no claim about it.
