How to see a bullfight in Madrid
Bullfighting in Madrid runs from March to October in the arena of Las Ventas. You can buy tickets prior to the show (better to come in a couple of hours before) or on the official website. After buying a ticket online you need to go to the machine outside the arena with the payment card, and insert it into the machine, which will give you the tickets.
