Combo Tickets: Corrida + Museum + Tour Bundles
The most efficient and cost-effective way to experience Madrid’s bullfighting culture is through combo tickets that include a Corrida at Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, the Las Ventas Bullfighting Museum, and optional guided tours. Combo bundles typically save visitors 15–35% compared with booking each element separately, with prices ranging from €45–€170 per person, depending on seat category and tour type.
Combo tickets matter because most travellers—especially first-time visitors—want to understand the cultural and historical context of bullfighting before watching a live corrida. By combining the Las Ventas Museum, an expert-led tour, and a live bullfight, you get a far richer and more organised experience. Instead of paying three separate entrance fees and navigating schedules manually, combo bundles streamline everything into one coordinated plan with guaranteed availability.
In this guide, you’ll learn how combo tickets work, how much you truly save, which bundles offer the best value, and how to select the right package based on your timing, budget, and interest level. You’ll also get a complete pricing breakdown, comparisons between tour options, and step-by-step booking instructions using MadridBullfighting.com’s real-time system.

Why Combo Tickets Improve First-Time Experiences
Many travellers find bullfighting more meaningful when they understand the rules, phases, history, symbolism, and artistry involved. The museum provides context; the guided tour grounds you in the physical space; the corrida ties it all together.
How combo bundles enhance the experience
- You learn matador roles before watching them perform.
- You understand the ring layout and why sections matter.
- You can identify the phases (tercios) of the fight.
- You appreciate costumes, tradition, and ritual.
- The guided tour explains ceremonial protocol.
Instead of just “watching an event,” you participate in a cultural ritual that Spaniards deeply care about.

Frequently Asked Questions About Combo Tickets
Do combo tickets really save money?
Yes. Combo tickets typically save 15–35% compared with buying each element separately. This is because tours, museum entry, and certain seats are discounted when bundled. Savings are highest for premium shaded seats and VIP tours, which can save €25–€50 per person. Budget bundles also save €5–€15. These packages offer excellent value for travellers wanting a full cultural experience.
Can I do the museum and tour on the same day as the corrida?
Yes. The museum is open well before the corrida, and guided tours run throughout the afternoon. Most visitors schedule the museum around midday and take the tour a few hours before the event. This creates a smooth progression into the live corrida. Timing is predictable: tours last 45–60 minutes, and the corrida lasts about two hours. Book worry-free with instant confirmation.
Which combo ticket is best for first-time visitors?
The best all-around option is the Corrida + Guided Tour bundle. The tour explains the history, the arena structure, and the phases of the event, making the live corrida more engaging. Pairing it with mid-range shaded seating (Tendido Alto Sombra) provides excellent comfort and visibility. This is the most popular choice among first-time travellers who want depth and clarity.
Are combo tickets available during the San Isidro Fair?
Yes, but availability is limited. During the San Isidro Fair (15 May–15 June 2026), demand is extremely high and events often sell out 4–6 weeks in advance. Some tours and museum visits remain available, but securing a combo bundle requires booking early. VIP or premium shaded packages typically sell out first, followed by mid-range shaded sections.
Can groups purchase combo tickets together?
Yes. Groups of 6–20 can sit together easily when booking early. Combo bundles are popular with organised tours, student groups, and cultural clubs because they simplify logistics and guarantee aligned schedules. The interactive MadridBullfighting.com seat map lets your group choose exact positions for the corrida before confirming the booking. Book worry-free with instant confirmation.
Are tours offered in English?
Yes. Tours and audio guides are available in multiple languages, including English, French, German, and Italian. This makes the experience smooth for travellers from around the world. The VIP tour offers extended explanations and additional backstage areas not included in the standard tour, making it ideal for visitors wanting the deepest cultural context.
