Clay courts season has started and Barcelona Open is once more a compulsory stop for tennis fans. Clay courts are made of crushed shale, stone or brick which makes the ball bounce higher and slower than in any other surface, therefore points are usually longer and enjoyable for the spectator.
Tickets go from 8 to 13€ during the preliminary matches and from 23,50 to 75€ for the playoffs and they can be bought in any of these options:
