Tarragona Castells Contest: new ticket sale by lottery with registrations from July 14 to 16
The Tarragona Castells Competition changes ticket sales to a lottery system to avoid selling out in minutes. This new formula aims to give everyone the same opportunity to attend the most anticipated days.
Starting this year, interested people will have to register from July 14 to 16 to participate in the lottery that will decide the purchase order. This breaks with the old model that generated frustration and inequality.
The new lottery ticket sales system
How does the ticket lottery work?
The lottery will assign a sequential number to each registrant between July 14 and 16. This number will determine who can purchase tickets first for the two main days of the Castells Competition.
The process will conclude with a public draw on July 20 at the Tarragona Theatre, where the final allocation order will be decided.
Why was this system implemented?
The previous model caused tickets to sell out in a matter of minutes, leaving many fans without options, depending solely on speed in purchasing.
The request came from fans, casteller groups, and media demanding more fairness and transparency in sales.
Impact for fans and clubs
How does this affect neighbors and attendees of the Competition?
Spectators will no longer have to be on edge about a fast and stressful sale but can trust that the process is fair.
This may increase participation and create a family atmosphere at the venue, as frustration from not getting tickets is reduced.
What guarantees does the new system offer?
The public lottery and transparency in assigning order numbers ensure there is no favoritism or unfair advantages.
Also, sales are structured to avoid IT collapses and better manage capacity.
Practical details and recommendations
When and how should interested people register?
Registrations for the lottery will be open from July 14 to 16 exclusively through the official Castells Competition website.
It is necessary to register and validate data to receive the order number that will participate in the lottery on July 20.
Where can tickets be purchased once the order is assigned?
Purchases will be made online on the official platform, starting with the number assigned in the lottery, until tickets run out.
It is crucial to pay attention to dates and official communication to avoid missing opportunities.
