Get your Seville bullfighting tickets now. And purchase them as early as you can!
Tip: The bullfighting season in Seville is relatively short. If you are travelling around Spain and happen to spend some time in Madrid, have a look at the official schedule to check if some date fits your itinerary. Madrid’s season is the longest in the world so chances are there will be a bullfight while you are there.
The best way to ensure you get good seats at a bullfighting is to order them online before you leave home. It’s just a couple of clicks away!
You have 3 options to purchase your bullfight tickets:
Tickets are released a few days after the official dates are released. Depending on the event, bullfight tickets for a particular corrida can be sold in just a few hours.
So as you may have guessed, the sooner you get your tickets, the greater your chance of choosing the best seats.
And that is why I always recommend to purchase your tickets as soon as possible. In other words, get them as soon as you know the dates in which you will be traveling.
Again, your preferred option should always be purchasing your Seville bullfight tickets online.

In La Maestranza, the best seats are situated in the tendidos 1, 2, 3 and 4 because those tendidos are located on either side of the president’s box.
As you may have guessed, the closer to the arena, the better the seat (and the more expensive).
So the best rows in these sections are:
These are the seats in La Maestranza that I recommend you, in order of preference.

La Maestranza has a seating capacity of 12,000+ and it is divided into 3 different areas. Each of these areas is divided into several sections or tendidos. In other words, a tendido is a “slice” of the bullring.
