Bullfights in Seville
Although bullfights in Seville during the Feria de Abril are very
popular it's usually possible to buy tickets either at the taquilla
(bullring ticket office) or from one of the ticket outlets on c/Adriano
next to the Real Maestranza bullring. Otherwise you'll find numerous
ticket touts offering to sell tickets outside the arena just before the
bullfight commences.
Buying tickets at the Maestranza bullring can prove tricky unless you
speak Spanish so take a good look at the official bullfight poster on
the walls of the bullring next to the ticket office so that you know
what tickets you want in advance. Basically you have to decide between
sol (sun), sombra (shade) and sol y sombra (sun & shade) where the ones
in the sun are the cheapest.
In the Seville bullring a row of seats is called a "tendido". In terms
of sun and shade you will find the following: Tendidos 1 to 7 are in the
shade; Tendidos 6 &9 are in the sun & shade; Tendidos 8, 10, 11 & 12 are
in the sun.
If you wish to purchase bullfight tickets in advance for the Feria de
Abril you can attempt to do so (in Spanish) via the website of the the
Real Maestranza in Sevilla. Normally this option isn't available
before the first week of April.
