Never been before but bought my tickets yesterday and am excited about it already!!! :-)

Just checking though, I got my tickets online from HMV........I'm guessing (hoping!!) they're ok aren't they and are official ticket sellers?

What do people think is the best thing to do in terms of accommodation? I went in 2010 and stayed in a hotel in Orpesa (I think) but that wasn't very convenient because you had to get there and back and then up before 10.30 for breakfast that we'd already paid for. Don't think I could handle camping in the Spanish heat though! Does anybody know of apartments/villas in the town of Benicassim - within walking distance of both the beach and festival?

You will find that any apartment accommodation in Benicassim is expensive, as area is not a package holiday - you will have to pay for a two weeks rental Sat to Sat . You will find a better deal in the surrounding towns, eg Oropesa, Castellon el Grau, visit ###### or any spanish site as listed in the fiberfib.com website

Hi everyone, anyone got any tips about travel from London next year? Easyjet seem to be the cheapest to Valencia, but booking for July doesn't seem to have opened yet. And then I guess it's a shuttle bus? Or a train?

Anyway, all looks encouraging :)

G'day all, our group shall certainly be making a trip to Beni this year, as Glastonbury is having a year out.

Does anyone know when Ryan Air tickets will be available, as they seem to be the best bet for Bristol to Valenica?

Hi Guys! Returning to FIB for the second time and some of our group for the third! This time the rule is NO CAMPING!! Ha. Its just far too hot and waking up hungover in the heat is too much. So this time its apartment time and here is where I need help! Does anyone know anywhere good to stay for about 10 people (50/50 Male/Female split) for 7 days during the festival thats about half way from the beach to the festival site?

Thanks in advance!!

Nick

I will warn you that taxis are rare in Benicassim! This year there were shuttle buses to local towns but the festival organisers probably won't be posting any details about this year until much closer to the festival. Oropesa del Mar is easier and closer.

We are currenlty sorting out accommodation for Beni and we will announce on facebook when it's ready for you to book, so if you 'like' us then we'll keep you updated :) It will probably be early next year, which is the same for a lot of hotels in Beni.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
