Unfortunately the tickets to enter the Gran Teatro Falla de Cádiz for any of the sessions of the preliminary phase have been sold out since day 1: in just a few hours all the seats in the theater were sold, something that usually happens every year. Tickets for the following phases are still to go on sale, but the situation is expected to be the same. The Carnival of Cádiz, after all, is one of the banners cultural of the city.
However, Onda Cádiz Carnaval broadcasts each and every one of the sessions of the qualifying phase, which lasts until February 4, as well as the quarterfinal and semifinal sessions, although the final is usually closed only to attendees.
