If you can’t find your question, write to us and we’ll be happy to help. ### 1) Booking & confirmation ** How do I book a flamenco show? Go to your city page or the tablaos list, choose a tablao, select date and time, and complete your booking. If you want to compare quickly, the global list makes it very easy. ** Do I get instant confirmation? In most cases, yes: you’ll receive a confirmation email within a few minutes. If you don’t see it, check spam/promotions. ** I haven’t received the confirmation email — what should I do? 1) Check spam/promotions. 2) Make sure your email address is correct. 3) If it still doesn’t appear, write to us with the city, date, and booking name and we’ll check it for you. ** Do I need to print the confirmation? No need to print it: just show the confirmation on your phone. If any tablao requires a printed ticket, we’ll indicate it. ** Can I book last minute? Depending on availability, some shows allow bookings even with short notice. Each tablao’s booking system shows real-time availability. ** Where do I pick up the tickets? You don’t need to pick anything up: your confirmation email is your entry (on your phone or printed, depending on the venue). ### 2) Changes, cancellations & refunds ** Can I cancel my tickets and get a refund? Once the booking has been completed and paid, **we do not offer refunds**. ** Can I change my booking? If you write to us with **at least 48 hours’ notice**, we’ll try to arrange it depending on availability and the tablao’s conditions. If there’s no availability or the venue doesn’t authorise the change, we won’t be able to offer a refund. ** What happens if the show is cancelled or the time changes? If the venue makes any changes (time, cancellation, etc.), we’ll contact you to offer the best possible alternative (change of show/date or available options). ### 3) On the day of the show ** How early should I arrive? As a general rule, we recommend arriving **15–20 minutes early** (especially if you want to enter calmly or aim for the best visibility and seating). ** How long is a flamenco show? It depends on the tablao and the format. Each listing shows the exact duration of the show. ** Is there a dress code? There’s usually no strict dress code. Being nicely dressed is enough; if there’s dinner, “smart casual” works well. ** Can I take photos or videos? As a general rule, photos and videos aren’t allowed during the performance, out of respect for the audience and the artists. Raised phones and screen light or flashes can be distracting and affect visibility. Please enjoy the show without recording. ### 4) Ticket, dinner, drinks & venue conditions ** What does the ticket include? Each tablao lists what’s included: it may be **show only** or **dinner + show** (and sometimes a drink). ** What’s the difference between “tablao with dinner” and “show only”? With dinner, the experience is more complete and starts earlier. “Show only” is ideal if you want to go straight to the flamenco and focus 100%. Keep in mind that in a tablao, the priority is the show: dinner is an add-on. ** Can I choose a seat or table close to the stage? It depends on the tablao: some assign tables by arrival order and others by ticket type or booking. If you have a preference, mention it when booking and we’ll do our best to pass it on. ** Are there options for allergies, coeliac/gluten-free or vegetarian (if dinner is included)? In many cases yes, but it depends on the venue. Let us know in advance (your need and the tablao name) and we’ll confirm it. ### 5) Children, accessibility & special needs ** Can children attend? Is there a child ticket? It depends on the tablao and the time. Some offer child pricing and others may restrict minors. Check the listing or write to us and we’ll guide you. ** Is it accessible for reduced mobility / wheelchair users? Each venue has different conditions. Write to us with the tablao and your needs and we’ll recommend the best option. ### 6) Invoices, companies & groups ** Can I request an invoice? Yes. Write to us with your billing details and booking information and we’ll help you with the process. ** Do you arrange bookings for groups, companies or celebrations? Yes. Tell us the city, date, number of people, and whether you want dinner or show only, and we’ll suggest options based on availability. ### 7) Help & contact ** Do I pay any fee or surcharge for booking here? No — booking through our platform means **no extra fees or surcharges**. ** Do you have another question? Write to us from the Contact page and we’ll reply as soon as possible (usually within 24 hours). [**See tablaos](/en/flamenco-tablaos) [**See all cities](/en/cities) ### Do you have another question?
