The Lyon festival, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary, presented this 2021 edition as a "
crazy bet
".
A winning bet since as soon as the ticket office opened, the crowd had rushed to the ticket reservation site.
In a single day, more than 30,000 tickets had passed.
“We are very happy with this start, since we sold as many tickets in one day as the previous editions, with the difference that this year we are only offering 35 shows and not sixty as usual.
The enthusiasm is therefore very strong
”, assured the organizers of the festival, which runs until July 31.
