The Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council will begin selling tickets for the 2026 Carnival contests online at entradascarnavaltenerife.com from January 21st, with box office sales at the Fairgrounds starting January 22nd.
The Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council's Festival Department will begin selling tickets for the 2026 Carnival contests on Wednesday, January 21st. These events will take place at the Fairgrounds, starting on January 23rd.
Online sales will open at 9:00 AM on the same day, January 21st, at entradascarnavaltenerife.com. The website will go live at that exact time. On this website, you can buy tickets for all stages of the children's and adult 'murga' contests, 'comparsas', musical groups, choreographic groups, and both the children's and adult Queen galas. Please note, however, that tickets for the adult and children's Queen galas will be available starting Thursday, January 22nd.
Like in past years, tickets for the Adult 'Murga' contest final will only be sold online, either as part of a season ticket or as a single ticket. They will not be available at the Fairgrounds box offices. Also, for the Adult Queen Gala, the 'Comparsa' contest, and the Adult 'Murga' final, all grandstand and chair seats will be numbered and can only be bought online. Ticket prices for these events will stay the same as last year. If any tickets remain, they will be sold at the box office on the day of the event.
The online system allows you to buy a maximum of four tickets per bank card for each event. You can also print your tickets during the purchase. Each ticket will have a unique QR code to confirm it's real and prevent copies or fakes.
Entry is free for the Children's 'Murga' Contest, the Musical Groups Contest, the Senior Queen Election Gala, and the Costume Contest.
Box office sales at the Fairgrounds will start on January 22nd at 5:00 PM. On days with contests or galas, the box office will stay open until roughly the end of the event. Normal box office hours are 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Access to the Senior Gala is by invitation only. These invitations will be given out on Wednesday, February 4th, at a specific marked area outside the Fairgrounds.
For the 'Rondallas' contest, happening on Sunday, February 8th, at the Auditorium, tickets cost 8 euros. You can buy them online or at the Fairgrounds box offices. On the day of the contest, tickets will also be available at the Auditorium box offices.
