La Tomatina is a happy little festival that takes place every year on the last Wednesday of August in the small town of Bonul. In 1945 a fight broke out between a few youths near a vegetable stand and before you know it, it turned into a tomato fight. Nearly 80 years later locals are making the most of it and having fun and friendly tomato fights every year!
It’s a great attraction for tourists and a wonderful activity for the locals. Plan ahead with your La Tomatina festivities so that you can also make the most of the occasion. Here’s a quick guide to help you design the perfect La Tomatina ticket!

While you’re at it, you might want to take a look at La Tomatina flyer templates as well. Posting these on your social media will drive in more traffic to your bookings. You need to maintain a quality standard across all platforms. Consistency is key after all.
Customize the colors
Here comes the customization we mentioned earlier. While there are a lot of templates available to choose from, you might want to add your own touch to it. If you are really picky about the nitty gritty design details, then you do not have to worry at all!
Once you select the part of your template that you want to customize, there are three ways you can pick a replacement color to ensure you get the perfect shade.
- You can enter the exact hex code of the color you want
- There is already a section showing all the colors used within the design, in case you want to use a color shown in a graphic or image.
- You can also simply drag the cursor across the color gradient and pick whatever seems right!
While it is extremely simple to make the selection, here are some pointers to keep in mind while choosing colors:
- Make sure the colors don’t interfere with the design (it should be understandable!)
- Certain colors are associated with certain moods – use this to get your message across.
- The best color schemes come from nature!
- Less color is better than too much color (don’t make it overwhelming.)
Pick the perfect font
Just like colors, your choice of font also helps set the aesthetic of your design. Usually templates come with great font selections that complement each other, but you should always be open to exploring. The font selector has made this job much easier. Search by category, browse through all your options, and make sure your design looks and feels complete.
Here are some fonts that look great on tickets. Try using them yourself to get a better feel of it:
- DejaVu Sans Mono
- League Spartan
- Giordano Extra Bold
- Inconsolata
Conventionally people prefer using a typewriter-esque font to not only give it a nostalgic feel but also so that it’s easy to understand. It’s vital to pick a font that is easy to read. Fancy swirly fonts may be pleasing to look at but can become quite a hassle while interpreting. You want it to be straightforward and simple.
Also make sure that you don’t spend too much time font surfing that you forget to add the actual information! Your ticket design should have all the necessary details, from the date and venue to the event timings and everything in between.
Save and download
Now that your ticket is good to go, save your changes and hit download!
It’s recommended to download in JPG format because that’s easier to transmit, but if your needs entail a PDF document, feel free to go for that. Your ticket template will get saved in high resolution to make sure there’s no compromise of quality. We all hate blurry pictures, that’s for sure.
Whether you want to get these tickets printed or use them digitally, that’s up to you. But now you have a stunning and professional entry ticket to kickstart your La Tomatina activities!
Wrapping it up
While planning and organizing your own event can come with a lot of stress and responsibility, it helps to not lose sight of the spirit of the occasion.
La Tomatina is all about spreading childlike joy and festivity. Make sure you don’t get too caught up in arrangements that you forget to have some fun yourself. Happy tomato throwing!
