Tickets

Ticketing advices
  • If you want to share that you are going to a concert, don't do it by putting the ticket on the XXSS and if you do, avoid the barcode, QR code, etc. being visible. If you do, you are exposing your ticket to possible counterfeiters.O
  • Make your access more sustainable: you don't need to print the ticket. We can scan it directly from your mobile phone.
  • A fastest access: adjust the intensity of your mobile screen to the maximum to make reading with our devices more agile.
  • Don't forget to complete the children's access procedure on our website before coming.
  • Don't buy your tickets on unofficial websites, you expose yourself to possible frauds. You will find the official sales system on each event's page of our website.

 

How can I buy tickets?

Check the “Events” section of our website. Next to each event you will find information on the official sales channels for buying tickets. Never buy your tickets through unofficial channels because we cannot guarantee they are authentic.

What are the box office opening times?

The box office only opens on the day of the event, usually 1 hour before the doors open.  If you need to know the exact time, you can write using the form on the website or check our social media.

If I’ve lost my tickets or they’ve been stolen, can they be reprinted?

If you’ve lost the tickets and you are the person who bought them, they can be reprinted but we cannot guarantee entry to the venue as the access control can only read a bar code once.

Do children have to pay?

Everyone must have a ticket to enter the venue. 

I’m not sure if my tickets are valid, can you check them for me?

We do not check tickets before the event.

If I’ve already bought tickets and I can’t come, can I get my money back?

We do not exchange tickets or issue refunds.

Is it possible to buy tickets at the box office?

On the day of the event, provided there are any available. We recommend you buy tickets in advance through the official channels.

Can I pay for tickets at the box office with a debit or credit card?

No, we only accept payments in cash. Neither €200 nor €500 notes are accepted.

Can I change seats during the show?

No. For safety reasons, the seating capacity in each section has to be respected, so you cannot change your seat.

Will I be allowed to dance?

You will be able to dance in the stands as long as the majority of the audience does it and you do not disturb anyone. If the majority of the audience chooses to be seated then we will require you to be seated out of respect.  Do not stand/dance on the seats, walkways and stairways.

What are named tickets?

Named tickets are non-transferable. They are linked to the person who will be attending the concert. Pay special attention to the purchase instructions and don’t buy tickets without having read the instructions.

Why can’t I publish photos of my tickets on social media?

If you want to publish the fact you are going to a concert, we recommend you don’t show the ticket (especially the bar code) as by doing so you are exposing your ticket to possible forgers.

Can I buy the thickets with “Bono Cultural”?

You can check whether it is possible to purchase your tickets using the "Cultural Voucher" on the event promoter's website. You will find the promoter's details in the show tab of our agenda.
