How it works
Individuals near the old town and tourist areas sell tickets to flamenco shows that are either overpriced, non-existent, or for venues of very poor quality. Valencia is not a traditional flamenco city, making it easier for sellers to exploit tourist unfamiliarity. Some tickets are counterfeit; others are for shows that do not match the advertised description.
