We wen there just for the tour however didn't go for the actual fight which from the description by the tour guide is a rather drawn out bloody affair. It was interesting to hear them describe the whole history of the thing and their whole perspective on the killing of the bulls. Sort of like how bullfighting is a metaphor... More

We arrived in Madrid on a Sunday & went to the bull fight that night. We booked our tickets online (which was easy once they were available) - http://www.ticketstoros.com/ingles/teyci.html The day of the fight you have to pick up the tickets near the Colon Metro (Line 4 – Brown) stop.

There is a convenient metro stop with there at the entrance. More
