Zapote Bulls Cost More
Today
The concessionaire that
provides the bull
entertainment at the
Zapote fair has decided
to cash in on the last
days of the event,
raising the entry price
from ¢4.000 colones to
¢10.000 colones for the
shows on Sunday and
Monday.
The concessionaire told
the press that the move
was to thwart off the
scalpers and assure that
the prices will not go
any higher for the last
day of the fair.
The "toros a la tica"
are a favourite of the
annual Zapote fair,
attracting thousands
each day to the stadium
for the two shows and
tens of thousands more
who watch the bulls at
home on their television
sets.
Last year the Zapote
fair was cancelled when
the Ministerio de Salud
(Health Ministry) would
not issue permits for
the old redondel (bull
ring) and the entire
fair was cancelled, for
what's Zapote without
the bulls.
For this year, a new
permanent redondel was
built, properly
constructed using cement
and steel, nothing like
the old wooden structure
that was erected only to
be used temporarily.
The new redondel sit
4.500 people for each
show.
