Buying and choosing a seat
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where to buy | Plaza 1 (official site), bullring box offices, authorised resellers |
| Peak season | San Isidro fair, 8 May-6 June 2026 (26 events in all up to 14 June) |
| Sun or shade | Shade seats (sombra) cost more than sun seats (sol) |
| Other option | Guided tour of the ring, without attending a bullfight |
If bullfighting is not for you
Bullfighting divides opinion. If you want to see the place without the show, the tour of the Las Ventas bullring lets you see the ring and its museum. For the festive context, see the San Isidro festivities. Avoid unofficial resellers who mark prices up heavily.
