For events , concerts and tickets for the football during your stay in Barcelona, we recommend you use the official portal España eventos. It is a good place to buy your tickets at a competitive price, and if I recommend it to you it is because I myself buy from it when I want to go to a concert or any other event.
In the following section we set out a list of the events in Barcelona in 2017 and also a brief description of them, a little below.
