reservations at Tickets in Barcelona?
 
does anyone know how to get reservations there? I want them for October. I know that you can only book 90 days ahead, but it seems 90 days ahead is always already booked. Any tips?

Have you tried:

1. Asking your hotel or rental agency to book for you?

2. Making sure to request during the first hour that the reservations become available for the date you want? (Although I had no trouble booking Tickets because I went during the opening week, I did have to do this for CincSentits; keep in mind the time difference).

What date do you want?

The website appears to have a glitch right now. They do hold spaces for walk ins. Or you can try booking at 41Degrees next door.

Lolita, formerly A. Adria's Inopia, is excellent and not so difficult to snag a seat. Just around the corner.

thank you , I will follow your advice and maybe try one of the others. I wanted a special place for our last night, although not at crazy prices.

You do know that both Tickets and Lolita are very casual and pretty frenetic with mostly counter seating..not places for lingering dinners. Think more bars with food (although quite incredible food!) than typical restaurant.

If you want a "special" dinner in a more conventional restaurant setting, Hisop offers excellent value.
