Bullfights in Madrid

Does anyone happen to know if there will be bullfights in Madris on June 24 or on July 1? Thanks so much for any info...

You'll find links to the official bullring site and to autorized resellers agencies at Madridman's links page. At those sites you'll find the dates for the next bullfighting.

According to www.Las-Ventas.com (the official website to Madrid's bullring), there is a bullfight on June 24th (<-Click), but couldn't find anything for July 1st. Their website doesn't seem to have schedule information for July yet -- they're still quite consumed with the San Isidro festival. As Antonio mentioned, you can find links to other bullfight/even-ticket sites on my links page.

Good luck! Saludos, MadridMan

There certainly won't be a bullfight in Las Ventas on 1st July, because they will be putting up the stage and my seat for the sure-to-be-excellent concert by Mark Knopfler in that venue on the 2nd. Get a ticket....much better entertainment!

Anchovy,

I can picture it now. Knopfler in the middle of the ring... bullfights going on around him. He uses his guitar as a cape... Talk about being in "Dire Straits." Gawd!

Check out www.ticketstoros.com Click on the English version, go to tickets-on-line, and buy. Choose the month you want and you can see what type of bullfight there will be, etc. (Click on Corrida to see more details). You can see a map of the Plaza). It does list a bullfight for July 1st also. My husband and I are going to the June 24 bullfight. We're going to get the tickets on the day at the Plaza de Toros - Las Ventas.

Since the architectural style of Las Ventas is mudéjar, it's probably no coincidence that they booked the Sultan of Swing to play there.
