How to buy a Bullfight ticket in Spain How to buy a Bullfight ticket in Spain Bullfight posters will appear in the town and surrounding locality about two weeks before a fight. These detail the type of fight, the names of the matadors, the ranch from where the bulls are reared, and the date and time. Bullfights always start promptly in Spain. Tickets for small corridas usually cost from 1,000 to 6,000 ptas, although tickets for the cheaper seats in a novillada are usually less than 1,000 ptas. Tickets for top fights may be sold by touts for up to ten times their face value.
Some rings have seats designated as contrabarrera which are the next rows to the barrier seats.
They are the cheapest seats in the ring. Cushions may be rented for around 40 ptas and are advisable as the seats are usually stone or concrete. Children aren't admitted to bullfights. 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.
