It was very easy to get tickets this way since going directly to the site they are usually sold out. They provided us a pamphlet of information which was very helpful. And our tour guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, kind and even guided us at the right time to a place to meet some of the wrestlers and take some photos.
