Hi Tom, Sorry for the late reply as I was away over Easter. Unfortunately, it seems the event has sold out already although I’m sure if you phone the organisers on +34 943 440 034 they will be able to advise you on cancellations and late availability tickets. You can also e-mail them on jazzaldia@donostia.org.
