If you're in Barcelona and can go today, open the official shop in that hour and refresh a few times. It costs nothing. More on that in last-minute tickets: today, tomorrow and this week.

They don't last either: half were gone within 16 minutes. Refreshing by hand means being on the page at the right minute of the right hour. That is the gap our alert closes: tell us your dates and group size, and we WhatsApp you the moment a matching slot opens. You then buy it on the official site at face value.
03Do tickets reset at midnight?
Not in our data. Only 2 of the 426 openings (under 1%) were first spotted between 23:00 and 01:00 Barcelona time. Staying up to refresh at midnight isn't worth it; the morning is.
04Is there a weekly release day?
Tuesday had the most: 33% of openings, spotted on 5 different Tuesdays. That is 4 weeks of data, so read it as a lean, not a rule.
05How we measure
- Our bot checks the official ticket shop around the clock for every date that has sold out, and logs each time slot that comes back on sale.
- The hour is when we first spotted an opening, in Barcelona time. Checks are a few minutes apart, so it is accurate to a few minutes.
- Only dates inside the sold-out window count (right now, visits before 2 November). Further out, the official site still has tickets on general sale.
