The bet made by the top basket in the capital of Biscay is going in the right direction. The response from fans to the sale of tickets to watch the six days of the Bilbao Iron Cup tournament suggests that the Deportivo stands can be filled from the first day. Last Tuesday, 70% of its capacity – a total of 750 spectators – was full, and the organizers estimate that, if this progression continues, this Friday, from 7:00 p.m. onwards, they will be able to reach the goal they set when they decided it was the ideal location to expand its radius of action.
“Although it was complicated, we are ambitious and we are going to use all available resources to achieve it,” said Gaizka Muniategi, one of the managers of the Eraman promoter. To bring the modality closer to the residents and visitors of the capital of Biscay, they have an agreement with Metro Bilbao so that the Casco Viejo station will host a ten-panel exhibition and advertising for the championship will be placed in each station.
“In addition, we are closing with the City Council the possibility of also installing signs on the streetlights,” said Muniategi. In the event that the seats on the field are full, they have also proposed to the Sports Club the possibility of opening the first stand, which would increase the capacity to close to a thousand people. Tickets are priced at 10 euros if purchased in advance online at www.eramanjaialai.com, and two euros more if purchased at the box office.
Live music
Regarding the format of the Bilbao Iron Cup festivals, it will be similar to that of the Winter Series in Gernika, which has registered one full house after another. The opening day will include live music, in addition to the presentation of all participating couples before the confrontations begin.
In the first match, Goitia and Basque will measure their strength against Urrutia and Del Río, a combination that comes from the tie played last weekend. The second duel will be one of the best confrontations that can be scheduled today; Erkiaga and Ibarluzea will have Barandika and Lekerika as rivals.
