Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Monday 21 February 2022.- On Friday last, 18 February, the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Carnival made tickets available to the general public for the first scheduled acts, and from now on, ticket requests are being activated gradually for the rest of the programme's free events, as well as for the four scheduled events with priced tickets: the Carnival Queen Gala and the Murga Contest Final, with tickets on sale next Friday, 25 February, at 10 euros and 5 euros respectively; the Drag Queen Preselection, with tickets available at 10 euros, on Wednesday, 2 March; and for the Drag Queen Gala for which sales will be activated on 8 March, at 15 euros per seat.
Entrees.es, the link accessible from lpacarnaval.com, will activate ticket requests on the dates indicated by the organising committee and, with a few exceptions, this will always be at 8 am (GMT+0). In all cases, ticket requests will be limited to a maximum of four per person.
For the free events, both the Carnival website and the ticketing platform will stagger the opening of ticket requests. So, reservation opportunities for the Opening, the Fancy Dress Contest, the Children's Groups Event and the Grand Dame Gala, the four events scheduled for the first weekend of the fiestas, began on Friday 18 February. Availability of tickets for the presentation of contenders for the throne of this Carnival dedicated to "Earth", due to the relocation of the catwalk and the draw for order of participation, was postponed to Monday, 21 February. On the same day, the organisation committee activated requests for places in the Body Painting Contest and the two rounds of the Murga Contest.
From now on, the staggered issue plan has the following dates for the issue of free tickets: Wednesday 23 February, in this case at 12.00 hrs (GMT +0), for Pedro Daktari Night, and the exhibition of batucada dance and the concert which will take place on the morning of Carnival Tuesday; on Friday 25 February, coinciding with the start of ticket requests for the Comparsa Contest, The Dog Carnival, and the Children's Gala; ticket reservation for the family concert and the Chirimurgas Night will begin on Friday 4 March; entry passes for the concert "Te regalo una rosa", in tribute to Juan Luis Guerra, will be available from 11 March, as well as for the Murgas Marathon and the Fiesta Farewell acts which will make references to the “sardine funeral” ceremony in a year when the fish itself will not be able to parade through the city's streets.
