Excitingly, SpainTastic expressed that all the 15,000 tickets were sold out beyond two weeks in precedence of the festival. In fact, a further 5,000 free tickets were set aside for Bunol residents. As a special mention, Australians accompanying 19.2 per cent of the total, Japanese with 17.9 per cent, Britons with 11.2 per cent, Spaniards with 7.8 per cent and US nationals with 7.5 per cent were among the top ticket buyers. Other attractions on sale were the Tomatina T-shirts, caps as well as coffee mugs. Although the origins of the event are prominent, it is considered to have its roots in a food fight in the 1940s between young people who seized tomatoes from a grocer’s stall. Predominantly due to the international press coverage the excessive number of people have come to the festival making it to grow in size. Subsequent to the lorries getting passed, cleaners sprayed the street with water, washing away the pulp as people involved in boisterous festivities twist forcibly the juice out of their pinkened t-shirts.

That's certainly crazy!!!
