The Tomatina is a party where the residents of Buñol dedicate themselves to throwing tomatoes at each other, with the passing of the years this party began to be known in the surrounding villages, thus attracting a greater number of participants, Given its exclusivity and fun, it was extended to become a world famous party, attracting people from all over the world.
This ended up making residents and visitors uncomfortable, since the very fact of walking around Buñol became a real madness and the town went from having a census of approximately 10.
In the tomato battle zone, the space was approximately 10 people per square meter, which reduces the safety of the participants since there is a high risk of avalanche.
You can't have a patron saint's day that makes both residents and visitors uncomfortable, said the mayor of the town.
For this reason, after the celebration of the Tomatina in 2012, which brought together nearly 50,000 people, it was decided that the participation of this festivity had to be limited for the good of all, it was decided to expand the space of the battle zone, thus giving a larger space per participant, about 4 or 5 per square meter, in addition to limiting the number of participants to no more than 20.000 a secure figure for this type of event, giving way to the sale of tickets or tickets for access, of which about 5,000 would be reserved for locals, the other 15,000 would be put on sale for visitors.
Tickets are sold through travel agencies, offering attendees a professional service.
