Primavera Sound 2016

[duckula]

Is this LCD ticket rush going to be a blood bath? I'm a bit confused as to where to get the tickets as Prima's link just takes me to my profile on the site.

Should I be refreshing https://www.redtkt.com/ like a madman come 5pm?

[branvan]

i have a vip ticket. do i need reservation ticket to get in the Apolo on Wedsneday night? Since i will be attending the Suede concert at the Forum from 22-23.30h, i won't be there too early...

Radiohead Spoiler Alert!

Last nights set in Paris. Much more to my taste tbh.

Festival ticket for sale as one of our gang has had to pull out. PM if interested.

Why are the stage times on Clashfinder 5/10 minutes later than those on the official Primavera site?

The twitter account just published the map:

Just a few things to note:

- They confirmed on twitter that there would still be VIP sections in front of the H&M and Heineken stages

- The beach club looks fun: pets, showers, food, drink.  I may be spending my days there instead of the beach

- New Terrazza Martini where the Bowers & Wilkins thing use to be (has a dedicated "Vermouth" icon).  

I wonder if there will be better food this year with the new areas?  I always thought that was a bit of a weak spot, especially given the food in Barcelona....

Is the whole of the front bit of main stages for VIP or just part of it?

[jeffroTull]

it's either the left or right hand of the stage (it's historically been the half towards the water - you can see it on maps from previous years)

[tiffpietiff]

Sold out in a literal minute. Never stood a chance.

[duckula]

I managed to get one, I'm not sure how.

[Rio]

I got an LCD ticket (yay) but as soon as I logged in with my GF's account...sold out

So, yep... In need of 1 spare please?! :/

Exactly the same for me: I got one, logged in for wife and they'd all gone :'(

The rdtkt-site: https://primaverasound.redtkt.com worked really well. 4/5 in my group got tickets through it. Very happy! 

[scotth541]

There's going to be a fair few people going on their own. 

[duckula]

4/5 of our group got them - I wonder how they'll handle returns? e.g. Can you give your ticket to a different named person if you decide not to go?

[Rio]

Your name is printed on the ticket, but the website says to gain entry you need that and either your primavera ticket, or if you have already exchanged the ticket for a wristband that is fine too. Your name almost certainly wont be on the wristband, so I assume offloading the LCD ticket to another full weekend ticket holder should be fine.

It's great that they put on these extra shows, but it would have made more sense to be able to "buy" your LCD ticket for all named weekend ticket holders on your account. 

[scotth541]

If anyone decides they are not going because friends didn't get tickets and are willing to part with their ticket give me a shout please. I'm the only one in our group that missed out.

Yep, this is logical. I've had no problem in previous years getting two on two different accounts but the demand for this was always clearly going to be huge.

I got in and went all the way through the process; clicked on Buy and it thought for a few minutes and then told me 'sold out'. Blarg.

God dammit that will be Jonny's side for Radiohead!

Radiohead are on the Heineken stage, so VIPs get Ed's side and the plebs get Jonny's :)

How much spending money is reasonable for the festival? Can't remember how much I spent last time I was there a couple of years ago. Are we expecting beer to be 5euro a pint still?

Work out how much you need and double it.

[beatkeeper]

Ha I came back with €90 last year but am struggling to remember how much I took.

 

yes still hoping it is no more than €5 a pint.
