Queues at the box office on the first day of sale to get tickets to the Murcia Fair bullfights

Demand for subscriptions increased compared to the previous year and online shopping is already a place in bullfighting, surpassing even face-to-face

The opening day of the box office of the bullfighting arena of Murcia, this Monday, brought together many fans, who made long lines in the morning in search of the desired ticket to the loose bullfights. Ticket sales, which ended on Sunday, were already a sign that fans of the Murcia region want bulls, as ticket sales increased compared to the last one in September, which was in 2019.

The ticket offices, which opened this Monday to sell single tickets for the five festivities to be held at the fair, three bullfights, one for rejones and one for oxen, closed thirty minutes after two in the morning, time scheduled for closing in the morning, due to the long queue that formed in Ronda de Garay before they opened at 10am. The face-to-face sales were accompanied by online sales, which started at the same time as sales in the arena and which the company Toros Sureste said surpassed “in situ” sales.

In the first hours of mailing out tickets for the fairground’s bullfights in September, it is clear that there is a desire for bullfighting in Murcia and that the fairground’s posters were well received by fans. It should be remembered that the funfair starts on Sunday, with a bullfight by bullfighters, with cattle from Núñez de Tarifa for Fran Ferrer, Parrita and Jorge Martínez. On Monday the 12th, the first bullfight will take place, with cattle from Daniel Ruiz for El Juli, Manzanares and Talavante. On Pilgrimage Tuesday, the 13th, Morante de la Puebla, Paco Ureña and Roca Rey will perform the paseo. On Saturday the 17th, during the Press Bullfight, Rafaelillo and Antonio Ferrera will perform hand in hand at the return of the Victorino Martín bulls to La Condomina. The fair will close on Sunday the 18th with the bullfight, with bulls from Los Espartales in front of Sergio Galán, Diego Ventura and Lea Vicens.

The company Toros Sureste wants to give the bullfight on Saturday 17 a special relevance. Besides being the bullfight of the press, it will be announced Wednesday as the bullfight of the 135th anniversary of the bullring of La Condomina, for which there will be a specific poster, which will be presented at the Bullfighting Club, at 1:00 pm , with the presence of the protagonists of the celebration. In this bullfight, Victorino Martín’s cattle ranch returns after 22 years for a complete bullfight in Murcia. Rafaelillo, who was unable to celebrate his 25th alternate birthday at his bullring in Murcia last year, will be able to perform for his compatriots this year, hand in hand with Antonio Ferrera, who is celebrating his silver jubilee as a bullfighter this season.

That same Wednesday, at 8.30 pm, the proclamation on bullfighting, organized by the Real Club Taurino de Murcia, will take place in the Miguel Ángel Clares room of the Víctor Villegas Auditorium, which this year will be given by the famous farmer and president of the Fundación del Toro de Lidia, Victorino Martín García, which will be presented by the President of the Murcia Press Association, Juan Antonio de Heras.
