Bullfighting ticket reservations - visit traditional of Spanish FiestasBullfighting is the most traditional of Spanish Fiestas. The Spanish people consider them art forms which are intimately linked with their country's history, art and culture. The bullfight season starts in the early summer in May. To advertise for upcoming events a poster called a cartel is produced. Bullfight posters appear in the town and surrounding locality about two weeks before a fight. Besides, you can find various announcements about the events on most Bullfighting web sites. These detail the type of fight, the names of the matadors, the ranch from where the bulls are reared, and the date and time.
If you have no possibility to buy your tickets directly at the actual arena ticket window, you may make a bullfighting ticket reservations at an official booking office or reserve the tickets online. This is also a good chance to check the bullfight calendar. Sometimes they sell out tickets for the major bullfights months in advance.
The following information on bullfighting tickets may be very useful for foreign tourists, visiting Spain :
Bullfighting tickets (billetes) prices vary considerably depending on the bullring, the bullfighters and the occasion. Tickets for corridas usually cost from 20€ to 100€, although tickets for the cheaper seats in a novillada are usually less than 10€. Seats are usually designated as being in the shade (sombra) or the sun (sol), with shaded seats being more expensive. Tickets show the section name and number (eg tenido 10), the row (fila) and the seat (asiento) number. It's best to make the bullfighting ticket reservations from the box office (taquilla) at the bullring or at the official ticket office. Tickets sold by agents have a surcharge. You should avoid buying a ticket from a tout who will often tell you that the bullfight is sold out when it is not. Early bullfighting ticket reservations offers the chance of a better seat for the same price. The exception to this are the most popular fights during the summer fiesta in larger towns.
