Bullfight Schedule 2014 Seville Spain

Bullfight Schedule 2014 Seville SpainThe world’s oldest venue for bullfighting is the La Maestranza bullring in Seville, The first bullfight was fought here in 1765. The arena seat 12,500 spectators. For 2014 the bullfighting season begins April 20, 2014 and lasts through October 12, 2014. There are almost twenty bullfights held in Seville during this period. There is no bullfighting in Seville during August as it’s too hot. From what I can gather, the ticket prices for bullfights can vary considerably depending on the bullring, the location within the arena, the bullfighters, and the occasion. Tickets typically cost from $25 to $100. Sometimes the cheaper seats can go for less than $15. By the same token, the tickets for top fights can be sold by ticket scalpers for as much as ten times their official price. Outside of Seville, there are many bullrings which typically seat from 2,000 to 10,000 people. The largest bullring in the world is in Mexico City and seats almost 50,000 people.

Note: I’ve never been to a bullfight. I would like to go. Once. After that I’m not sure. I have some mixed feeling about bullfighting.
