First-Time Buyer Discount: New Customer Welcome Offer
The First-Time Buyer Discount is a one-use savings offer for new customers booking bullfighting tickets at Las Ventas through the platform. It is applied during checkout and reduces the final price by a fixed amount, usually €5–€12 per ticket during regular season.
You qualify if:

- You select eligible events (most regular season dates apply)
The discount applies automatically, so there’s no need for codes or manual entry.
The blog’s Bullfighting Tickets Madrid guide provides more detail on regular pricing, helping you see how the discount fits into the broader system.

How Much Money Can First-Time Buyers Actually Save?
Direct answer: Most visitors save €5–€12 per ticket, but the value is influenced by seating category and date. Shade seats tend to yield the larger discount because they are priced higher.

When Should First-Time Buyers Book to Maximise the Discount?
Direct answer: 7–21 days before the event is the ideal window. Earlier than that, prices may be higher due to pre-launch demand, and too close to the date, the best shade seats sell out.
Ideal booking timing:
- Regular Sunday corridas → 7–14 days early
- Popular lineups (well-known matadors) → 14–21 days early
- Shoulder-season events → 5–10 days early
- San Isidro Festival → Discount may not apply to all dates; book 4–6 weeks early
Demand spikes significantly during May and early June, which impacts the availability of discount-eligible seats.

How the Welcome Offer Works at Checkout
Direct answer: The discount auto-applies once the platform recognises you as a new customer. No promo code is required, and the adjusted pricing appears in the final payment screen.
The system checks:
- First-time booking status
- Selected seats
- Eligible event type
- Total tickets in cart
You can verify the discount in the line item labelled New Customer Offer before payment.
If booking multiple seats, the per-seat discount applies to all eligible tickets.

What If I Want the Cheapest Possible First-Time Tickets?
Direct answer: Choose Andanada Sun or Tendido Sun sections. With the discount applied, these seats can drop as low as €25, making them the most affordable way to enter Las Ventas.
Most budget-focused visitors pair the discount with:
- Early-season events
- Sunday evening novilladas
- Non-festival dates
- High-row seating
If you’d like better comfort but still want low prices, use the discount on Andanada Shade instead of sun sections.

Frequently Asked Questions About the First-Time Buyer Discount
1. Do I need a promo code to use the first-time buyer offer?
No. The discount is automatically applied at checkout when you book through the platform as a new customer. You will see the deduction appear on the payment page without entering anything manually. This avoids confusion and ensures clear pricing.
2. Does the discount apply to all bullfighting events?
It applies to most regular season corridas and novilladas. However, extremely high-demand events such as San Isidro may have limited eligibility. Always check the price breakdown during checkout to confirm. If the event is eligible, the discount will appear instantly.
3. Can I use the discount for multiple tickets in the same purchase?
Yes. If you’re booking for two, three, or more people, the discount applies individually to each ticket in your order. This can create total savings of €20–€40 depending on the group size. Seat maps inside the booking tool help you select grouped seats.
4. What if I’ve visited the site before but never booked?
Browsing does not affect eligibility. You qualify as long as this is your first purchase. The system checks your booking history, not your browsing history. The discount appears automatically if it’s your first transaction.
5. Can I use the discount on premium front-row seats?
Yes. Front-row Barrera seats receive the highest cash-value discount because of their higher base price. This makes them attractive for special occasions, especially if you want the closest view but still want some savings.
6. Is the discount better for shade or sun sections?
Shade sections typically generate a slightly higher discount because they cost more. This often makes Tendido 9–10 Shade the best overall value for first-time customers combining comfort and price.
7. Can I combine this offer with other promotions?
The discount cannot be stacked with seasonal promotions, but it always applies as long as the event is eligible and you are a new customer. It remains the most reliable way to reduce ticket cost for first-time buyers.
8. What if the discount doesn’t appear?
Ensure you are booking through the platform’s entry link labelled Check Ticket Availability. If the offer still doesn’t appear, select a different seat category or date, as some high-demand events may not support the first-time offer.

Madrid Bullfighting was created 25 years ago out of the need to bring Spain’s bullfighting tradition closer to international visitors coming to Madrid, making ticket purchasing easier and providing clear, reliable information in their own language. This program was originally launched by the Community of Madrid.
For more than 25 years, we have helped promote Madrid to thousands of travelers, as the initiative includes both the promotion of bullfighting and the cultural appeal of the city to visitors.
The program offers recommendations and guides to cultural activities considered of interest by the Community of Madrid, including visits, shows, and traditional experiences. Depending on the season, discounts may be available for additional cultural activities recognized by the Community of Madrid.
