What is the "Flamenco Show Hidden Booking Fees" scam in Seville?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ticket sellers operating near the Cathedral and in the Barrio Santa Cruz offer "discounted" flamenco show tickets but quote a per-person price that excludes a mandatory drink minimum, a booking fee, or a "reserved seating" surcharge added at the venue door. The total cost at the venue can be 30–50% above the price quoted by the tout. Some sellers also direct visitors to substandard shows far from the recognised tablaos in the Santa Cruz and Arenal neighbourhoods. Book flamenco tickets directly at established tablaos such as Casa de la Memoria, El Arenal, or La Casa del Flamenco, where all charges are shown upfront. Avoid purchasing from anyone approaching you on the street or outside monuments, and confirm in writing that the quoted price is the all-inclusive total.
