The way they answer on the Ciutat gig que situation implies they will continue with the same system next year. That is gross.
-
To me it is quite obvious that Gabi and the festival have not surveyed the users from the different ticket categories etc. In my view the new Mordor design is shitty and I am sure a lot of people think the same. And the new VIP areas were horrible. I am getting depressed of Gabis answers.
"The new positioning of the main stages, which has been a success"
To me this is alternative facts.

The 'price hike' of 50 euros isn't so bad when you appreciate that 2 years were missed. That's 2 years of rising inflation, costs of materials/services that they weren't able to adjust for because they'd sold tickets at 2020 prices.
Ticket price is up from 245 to 325 for general pass, 450 to 545 for VIP pass, in general sale. Less so for early bird. This is compared to going rate in 22 for the 22 edition.

Gabi will be on RPS tomorrow to talk about this years festival and the plan for next year.
If we are lucky the price hike is to bring the volume down... Anyway, great to get some info before ticket sales open.

... except for the sound bleed problem on the pitchfork stage at multiple shows

I have been to Primavera 11 consecutive editions. I still trust the lineup, but they have lost me on everything else.
-
No communication on how this years issues will be solved? No info on if the vip product will be improved or if it will be the same shitty solution as this year? Not much to base a purchase decision on.

Some terrible takes in this interview.
https://www.iq-mag.net/2022/06/primavera-sound-post-pandemic-comeback
The attitiude from Primavera in interviews like these are horrible. Why don't they rather communicate in the lines of "There was too many problems for our festival goers, and we are really sorry for that. There are a lot of learning points from this, areas in which we have to improve for the next festival in order to uphold our brand as one of the best festivals. We will turn any stone in order to see what we can do better. Our sincere apologies to all those who suffered in one way or another. We should do better. We will do better."

Some interesting coverage:
Regarding the comments on "... had to jump over the fence to the VIP area... " I noticed this crush myself, lots of people jumping over that fence. It was a problem with push from crowds after the show, to get out. They got squeezed against the vip fence. Better jump, and no security/guards there anyway.
I am old enough to have been at Roskilde 2000. Nine people were squeezed to death at the front of main stage at Pearl Jam. This accident triggered changes in security and crowd control for many festivals across Europe. From what I see I am not conviced the new mordor stage design is good enough from a security perspective, with regards to e.g. separate pits with crowd control and corridors to lift people out. I am no expert though! But I am not convinced.-

So we tried to use the ticket carryover bar credit and we were told to it could only be used at bars 5 and 17. Whereabouts are they? Ta!
You may use them at these bars (marked AT):

Also really enjoyed Barcelona having not been before and it didn't really seem as unsafe as some have suggested.
A guy in a group I know was robbed for all belongings when he walked home alone drunk. This was just outside the festival premises. Probably regarded as an easy target because he was visibly drunk. He refused to give away his belongings then they used violence with chokehold etc. He even passed out for a while. He got a psychological reaction to what happened and was at his hotel room for the rest of the festival.

Don't see it like that.
With Brunch on the Beach, it's clearly piss poor organising, not a money grab.
I always try to be reasonable and see both sides arguments. In this case however, to see all the examples from the old marketing - how the beach brunch access was always described as a part of what people bought in to at some of the packages offered - making hundreds if not thousands to take an extra day off work to participate at Sunday as well - I think people without 'ticket' should get a partial refund. It is definitely misleading marketing, no matter the underlying intention.

Yeah, money-grabbing greedy bastards.
I mean the bars will make less money with them letting fewer people in, um, right?
False marketing to sell more tickets will of course give them more money.

Why is it mind blowing? It’s been an absolute disaster from day 1
Sorry if wording came out wrong, I am not a native speaker, i absolutely agree the outrage is legit.

More on brunch gate: primavera blames government for the ticketing system surprise...
It is mind blowing to see the outrage on twitter and other social media.
Apparently it is created a Telegram-group in order to storm the premises on Sunday
-
Primavera should just roll back everything to 2019. All changes has been to the worse.
-
It is a shame Primavera has come to this. Festivals all over the world implies they only see growth as a viable strategy. I cannot see them scale down the Barcelona event next year. Unfortunately. I may still go though. After all I have been to the last 11 editions. We will see.

Me and my gf had Omicron 9 weeks ago (presumably BA2) and we both had symptoms for at least 4-5 days before testing positive, the lateral flow tests aren't very good at picking up symptomatic Omicron, unfortunately.
For myself it was negative in the morning, positive in the evening, the day of the outbreak of symptoms. I guess it can vary. So I don't know what is advised in the different countries, to rub the stick against both the tonsils and in the nose decrease the likelihood of false negatives on the omicron variants. Just a tip (but I guess already common knowledge in many countries).

Just went through covid the first time a month ago & fear I've managed to somehow catch it again?!
It is a possibility with the new ba.5 variant, unfortunately. Especially in those countries where BA.1 and not BA.2 dominating the winter wave (south africa, spain, portugal, israel, us, ...). A month ago in US it was most certainly the BA.2 variant however, then less likely with re-infection, but still possible. Wish you a speedy recovery.
-
Incubation time for the omicron variants are short about 1-2 days. So I am pretty sure I picked up mine at one of the indoor shows, those events are super spreader events for sure. But that is fine, I have chosen to live life without fear and get this shit done if needed.

Go home dude, there's a reason flights still have mandatory masks but not negative tests; so you can get home. You can stay but I promise you several people on your flight home aren't. Just sanitize your hands a lot and keep em to yourself as best you can.
Yeah, I just noticed Spain quit the 7 days quarantine rule for mild cases in march, and the country I am going to have no quarantine rules at all. Both countries have decided to live with it. If it stays mild and I get better I will go home, will be careful with masks and so on of course.

So... I see at BCN pages I am supposed to quarantine for 7 days, though my flight is at Sunday. A little confused on what to do, play stupid or...
