Holy Week chair prices in Seville: section by section, the cost per day and what is not included
The price of a chair for Holy Week in Seville depends on the section: from the Plaza Virgen de los Reyes to the stands at La Campana, the price more than doubles. Here is the 2026 season pass table section by section, with the cost per day and the figures the media disagree on.
A chair on Seville's official Holy Week route (the Carrera Oficial) does not have one price, it has a table. In the 2026 season pass, the cheapest cost €90.50 and the most expensive stand seat at La Campana between €178.42 and €197.96, more than double for the same parade of brotherhoods.
This page gives that table section by section, works out the cost per day and flags the two figures the press disagrees on. How to get a chair, the ballot and the black market are covered in the guide to Holy Week chairs in 2026.
How much does a chair cost in each section of the official route?
The 2026 season pass prices were published on 7 January 2026, based on the table of the General Council of Brotherhoods. They rose by around 3 % on 2025, when the cheapest chair cost at least €87.86.
| Section | Type | 2026 season pass |
|---|---|---|
| Plaza Virgen de los Reyes | chair | €90.50 |
| Avenida de la Constitución | chair | €122.69 or €126.54 depending on the sector, and €141.66 opposite the Banco de España |
| Calle Sierpes | chair | €156.86 |
| La Campana, at street level | chair | €152.29 or €156.29 depending on the outlet |
| La Campana | stand | Between €178.42 and €197.96 |
| Avenida de la Constitución | box | €931.95 |
| Plaza de San Francisco | box | €749.11 in sector C, rows 6 to 10, and €1,016.77 in the front rows of sectors A, B and C |
According to The Objective, in March 2026, the prices include VAT. They include no intermediary's commission, because the official channel has none: any mark-up comes from outside the Council.
How much does a chair work out at per day?
The season pass is not a ticket for one procession: it reserves the same seat for the whole week, every time the brotherhoods pass that section. Spread over the eight days from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, it comes to about €11 a day for the cheapest chair and about €25 for the most expensive stand at La Campana.
That is this guide's own calculation, and it only holds if the chair is used every day. If you only go on two evenings you still pay for the whole week: no source consulted publishes an official single-day price for the occasional visitor.
If the whole week does not pay off, a guided tour through the brotherhoods' neighbourhoods takes a single afternoon. These tours can be compared with the rest of Seville's activities in one catalogue, at a fixed price and with no season pass.

The street-level chair at La Campana appears at €152.29 in Diario de Sevilla and at €156.29 in El Español, Europa Press and 20minutos, all on the same day, 7 January. The Faro stand on the Avenida de la Constitución is listed at €161.20 by ArteSacro and at €161.29 by 20minutos.
The most likely explanation is a typo when copying the table, but none of the sources consulted makes it possible to say which. Both figures are kept here: the reference is the Council's table on its season pass platform, which is the one you actually pay.
What weighs more than the price of the chair?
The official price is the small part of the spending. Informal resale reaches, according to El País in March 2026, up to four times the official price. The 2024 press spoke of a much smaller mark-up, between 30 and 70 % above the official price: the two figures coexist and neither measures the whole market.
Private balconies over the route were offered in 2026 for up to €9,000, according to the same paper, while a brotherhood can spend up to €50,000 on its procession, according to an Infobae estimate. And the week's accommodation comes on top, at peak prices that the guide to where to stay in Seville details by neighbourhood.
With or without a chair, what makes the week most expensive is a night in the centre. Checking availability for the Holy Week dates before applying for a season pass saves you paying for a seat with no bed nearby.

- Plaza Virgen de los Reyes: the cheapest section, next to the cathedral, towards the end of the route. The brotherhoods arrive well after passing La Campana.
- Avenida de la Constitución: a wide street, with the cathedral at the end and a mid-range price.
- Sierpes: a narrow street where you see the float very close up, but the standing crowd often blocks the view.
- La Campana: the start of the official route and the most expensive section, because it is the first to see each brotherhood pass.
No source publishes a visibility rating by row or by section. The times each brotherhood passes La Campana are in the 2026 timetable guide, and how to see the floats without paying is in the guide to the floats.
When will the 2027 prices be known?
Holy Week 2027 is expected from 21 to 28 March 2027, a week earlier than in 2026. As of late September 2026, no season pass price for 2027 has been published.
If this year's calendar is repeated, the table will come out in early January, with the renewal period. Until then, any 2027 price going around is a projection, not a tariff.
Outside Holy Week, central Seville costs a fraction of the price. A three-star hotel costs between €90 and €150 a night outside the peaks, according to the 2026 guides, almost what a chair costs for the whole week.
