Long lines to buy bullfighting tickets in Malaga

There is a strong desire for bullfighting in Malaga. Long lines of fans formed this Friday at the ticket offices of La Malagueta arena on ... the first day of individual ticket sales for the bullfighting festival, which starts on August 14 and includes six bullfights, a rejoneo (bullfighting on horseback), and a novillada picada (a fight involving young bulls). Additionally, digital queues also formed for purchasing tickets online.

At 4 in the morning, six hours before the ticket offices opened, fans began to line up, as several of them explained. By the scheduled start time of the sale, dozens of people were already waiting patiently in a line that extended, seeking shaded areas, from the ticket offices to the corner with Fernando Camino street.

The events currently drawing the most attention are the two featuring Morante de la Puebla, who is in a great moment and having a high-level season. The bullfighter from Seville will enter the arena on Monday, August 18, along with the Malaga native Fortes, another major attraction of the subscription, and Pablo Aguado against bulls from Torrealta, and on Wednesday, August 20, sharing the bill with Alejandro Talavante and Juan Ortega with bulls from Puerto de San Lorenzo.

Also in high demand is the event on Tuesday, August 19, where Roca Rey, one of the top current figures in the ranking, will perform along with Cayetano, in his farewell year from the ring, and David de Miranda, a successful bullfighter in Seville and just this Thursday in his hometown Huelva, who will face a herd from Victoriano del Río.

This atmosphere of anticipation also occurred last July 21 when lines formed at the start of the renewal of subscriptions for the August cycle at La Malagueta.

The ticket office hours at the arena are from Monday to Friday from 10 am to 2 pm and from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm, while on Saturdays there will only be morning hours. Meanwhile, 'online' ticket sales can be made through www.lancesdefuturo.com and www.bacantix.com.
