Show was great, Viator wasn’t helpful on how to get tickets
The show is held at a old “bull ring” but not outside, it was under the seating area of the transitional seats of the bull ring, so inside. It was a small room & pretty hot. VIator want detailed in how to get your tickets and we thought you had to go ahead of time to pick them up, we did and they were closed. Just just up that night and your James is on a list, no bar code scanner.
As others mentioned, it was a great show!!
