Manga Barcelona sells out tickets in a single day

by

  • The Japanese comic and culture hall hangs the ‘sold out’ poster in a few hours for the four days of the event, which will be held from October 29 to November 1

There is no doubt that there is a desire for manga, and a desire to recover the sensations that come with stepping back into a great cultural event in person. Proof of this is that Manga Barcelona, ​​which will be held from October 29 to November 1 at the Fira Montjuïc venue, put tickets on sale this Monday at 4 p.m. from its website (from 12 a.m. to 4 p.m. . Members of Comunidad Manga Barcelona could buy) and at 1 in the morning they were already sold out for the four days, something unpublished, as confirmed to this newspaper by Ficomic sources, which organizes the show.

There were times when they were selling 1,500 entries per minute and more than 15,000 users were trying to buy tickets at the same time, point from Ficomic. In the 2019 edition, the last in which the show could be held in person and with all normality, Manga Barcelona achieved a record number of 152,000 visitors.

This 2021 they had worked with a capacity adjusted to the security measures of the pandemic and with one less pavilion, which is still being used as a space for vaccination against the covid.

As on Monday there was such an avalanche of requests to buy tickets, the Manga Barcelona website collapsed and the organization requested from its networks that it be accessed from a link direct to ticket sales. The avalanche produced a significant number of incidents during the purchase process and it is possible that, as they did not have confirmation of the purchase, many users repeated the process and ended up with more entries than requested. As these incidents are solved, there could be tickets released.
