FAQs Frequently asked questions

How long does the experience last?
The Candlelight: The Best of the 80s in Madrid lasts around 60 minutes. Doors open 45 minutes before, so you can arrive and settle in comfortably.
Are real candles used in Candlelight concerts? Are they flammable?
No need to worry, the candles are all LED technology and replicate the light of a flame identically. Without real fire, they don't emit heat and aren't flammable.
What temperature should I expect at the concert? What clothes should I wear?
As these concerts take place in unique historic spaces, the indoor temperature of the venue goes hand in hand with the season. We recommend opting for layers or clothes suitable for the season to ensure you stay comfortable throughout the show.
Will there be food and drink service at Ateneo de Madrid?
You will be able to buy drinks at this event; however, there will be no food available.
Can I leave the venue during the performance?
Unless it's an emergency, we appreciate that you don't get up from your seat. This helps us maintain the special atmosphere of the event.
Is taking photos or recording videos allowed? Can I use my phone during the performance?
We ask that you keep your phone muted during the performance. You can take photos and videos without flash only in the final song when the artists themselves give you the nod.
Can tickets be bought at the Ateneo de Madrid box office?
We're sorry, but there will be no ticket sales at the entrances or the Ateneo de Madrid box office. To avoid missing out, get your ticket online through the Fever app or our official website.
How does seating assignment and zoning work?
The venue is organized into different zones, each priced according to its proximity and view of the stage. Seats are assigned as you arrive at Ateneo de Madrid, respecting the order of entry and the category of your ticket.
Can we sit together if we're a group?
Of course, it's totally possible to sit together. To do this, you need to arrive at the same time and have tickets in the same category. We recommend coming at least half an hour before the show to make it easier for the team to assign your seats.
Can tickets for Candlelight: The Best of the 80s be gifted?
Absolutely! To gift the Candlelight experience, you can buy a Gift Card valid for any Candlelight concert in your country, allowing the recipient to choose their preferred date and concert. Alternatively, if you've already purchased a ticket for a specific date, you can use the "Transfer Tickets" option in the app to send it as a gift.
What is "Candlelight Photo"?
If you want a unique keepsake, get this pack and enjoy a photo session in an exclusive space inside Ateneo de Madrid. You'll receive an instant Polaroid-style photo printed on the spot.
Can I buy "Candlelight Photo" photos at Ateneo de Madrid?
If there are spots available at Ateneo de Madrid, you can purchase Candlelight Photos paying only with a card. We recommend booking it online in advance, as those purchases have priority over sales at the venue.
When will I receive the photo?
Decide which photo you like best before it goes to paper. It will be all ready for you at the end of the concert. Make sure to pick it up before you leave, as it won't be possible to keep it for later.
What does the "Pack of 3 candles" include? Are they real?
The package comes with 3 LED candles designed to recreate the warm, cozy light of a real candle. Since they don't use real fire, they are ideal for decorating your favorite spots safely.
What is the "Pack of 3 candles" pickup and return policy?
Packages bought on the web will be waiting for you at the venue on the day of the show. We're sorry to say the 3 candle pack cannot be returned or refunded, as all sales are final.
Where can I find my tickets for Candlelight: The Best of the 80s in Madrid?
You can find your ticket in the "Tickets" section of the Fever app (available on Apple App Store or Google Play). Remember to log in with the same account you used to make the purchase. You'll also find your QR code in the purchase confirmation email. Your tickets are digital, and you don't need to print them.
Can I transfer or send my tickets to another person?
Yes! You can send your digital tickets to someone else for free from the "Transfer Tickets" tab in the Fever app. If you need extra assistance, contact us and share your ticket number.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
You can change the date of your ticket up to 24 hours before the event from the "Tickets" section of the Fever app. If the option is available, the "Change date/time" button will appear, and you can follow the instructions. If the option doesn't appear, contact us with your ticket ID, which can be found in the confirmation email or the Fever app. Note that refunds are not accepted, although some events offer a flexible cancellation add-on with an alternative policy. For more information, see our Terms and Conditions.
What time should I arrive? Is there a late entry policy?
Try to arrive 30 minutes before the show to settle in easily. Doors will close promptly 5 minutes before the start, and they won't reopen once the concert begins, preventing any interruptions.
When should I arrive to have my photo taken?
Make sure to arrive about 30 minutes early for your photo session. Remember that it is organized before the event and will end 10 minutes before the show starts.
Where do I have to go to have my photo taken?
You'll get directions to the photo area once you enter Ateneo de Madrid. If you have any questions, any of our staff will be happy to help you.
Is there parking available at Ateneo de Madrid?
