Tickets

How can I buy tickets?

Check the “Events” of our website. Next to each event you will find information on the official sales channels for buying tickets. Never buy your tickets through unofficial channels because we cannot guarantee they are authentic.

What are the box office opening times?

The box office only opens on the day of the event, usually 1 hour before the doors open.  If you need to know the exact time, you can write us, using the form on the website or check our social media.

If I’ve lost my tickets or they’ve been stolen, can they be reprinted?

If you’ve lost the tickets and you are the person who bought them, they can be reprinted but we cannot guarantee entry to the venue as the access control can only read a bar code once.

Han de pagar els nens?

Everyone must have a ticket to enter the venue. Occasionally, this condition may be different for some shows. When you make the purchase process, the sales system will confirm it.

I’m not sure if my tickets are valid, can you check them for me?

We do not check tickets before the event.

If I’ve already bought tickets and I can’t come, can I get my money back?

We do not exchange tickets or issue refunds.

Is it possible to buy tickets at the box office?

On the day of the event, provided there are any available. We recommend you buy tickets in advance through the official channels.

Can I pay for tickets at the box office with a credit card?

No, we only accept payments in cash. Neither €200 nor €500 notes are accepted.

Can I change seats during the show?

No. For safety reasons, the seating capacity in each section has to be respected, so you cannot change your seat.

What are named tickets?

Named tickets are non-transferable. They are linked to the person who will be attending the concert. Pay special attention to the purchase instructions and don’t buy tickets without having read the instructions.

Why can’t I publish photos of my tickets on social media?

If you want to publish the fact you are going to a concert, we recommend you don’t show the ticket (especially the bar code) as by doing so you are exposing your ticket to possible forgers.

TICKETING ADVICE
  • If you want to share that you are going to a concert, don't do it by putting the ticket on the XXSS and if you do, avoid seeing the bar code, QR code, etc. If you do, you are exposing your entry to potential counterfeiters.
  • On the day of the concert, if your ticket is on your mobile, make sure the screen is clean and you have enough charge/connectivity

Security

Because your safety is our paramount concert, we encourage you to read these tips:

In case of evacuation

  • Make sure you know where the emergency exits are (they are clearly identified all round the venue).
  • In the event of an evacuation, head for the nearest exit as indicated by the signs without stopping. Under no circumstances should you go back.
  • Keep calm and pay attention to the instructions of venue staff.
  • Don’t shout, run or push others, as you could cause dangerous situations given the large number of people gathered at the venue.

Time advice

  • Give yourself enough time. The door opening times will be announced on our social media channels a few days before the show.
  • Check out our FAQS before coming. You’ll find information on various matters that will help you with any queries.
   

General advices

  • If you are accompanied or in a group, agree on a reference point outside the crowded area, where to meet in case you break up or get lost.
  • If you see a strange or suspicious attitude, let the security team know.
  • Queues are inevitable, be patient. We do our best to make access smooth.
