calaix Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm just being contrarian but I think any kind of ticket touting is unreasonable, even if not by initial design. If you're a fan of music and you can't go, you can sell the ticket to another fan, make them happy and get all of your money back. Seems like a win-win.

As I say, don't shoot the messenger! I understand him wanting to get some additional money back on it given that he's booked flights which it has cost him £60 to transfer. But yes, I hate touting. And it's pissed me off as it's my stag do that he's cancelling, even though it is for good reasons. He wanted to put it on Seatwave for £350 but I convinced him that I'd try on here for cheaper first. I'm not trying to rip anyone off at all, just trying to find a middle ground for this.

Hee Hee - I keep telling people that I've got Radiohead and LCD Soundsystem to play at my stag do. Well, it's technically true ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calaix Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 How did you persuade your mates to come to sunny and cultured barcelona by the beach on the Mediterranean and hang out at gin bars and rooftop afterparties full of attractive latin women, whilst watching the best festival lineup in the world anywhere in recent years?

skifr Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi, I've been reading this forum for a long time but haven't had the chance to post here yet. I booked a double room for 3 nights (Thursday-Saturday) that I would like to share at the Hilton Diagonal, which is right in front of the Forum. Of course the big advantage is that you don't need to wait in 4 in the morning for cabs to take you to the city center. I booked it in advance so the price is pretty cheap for this accommodation per person- 217 euros for all the weekend (twin room). Here's the hotel - http://www.booking.com/hotel/es/hilton-diagonal-mar-barcelona.en-gb.html PM if you're interested. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea - you posted the link at 00:37 - and the Saturday tickets didn't sell out until around 18:50 later that day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calaix Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks beatkeeper. Not great being (wrongly) contradicted by someone you've gone to some trouble to help (I also checked that the purchase would go all the way through). On a Primavera tip again, some acts don't translate well to a live setting. As much as I love some of Beach House's music, they're not the most engaging live. Anyone have any tips for this year's bands that are better live than on record? Thee Oh Sees and Boredoms spring to mind...Who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus Andronicus might fall into that category too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isco Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Have to admit, I am really unfamiliar with loads of acts on the bill. I mean, I've heard of Savages, Beach House and quite a few others but haven't heard a single note of their music ! Normally I don't dig this situation, I like to know the songs I am listening to. But now I'm older, I'm quite looking forward to it. I actually think it was seeing Les Savy Fav at Duckworth about 6 years ago without having heard them previously that triggered the shift. It's not much of a festival if you only stick to the acts you've heard of. I've been going through the line up, reading the spiel, then checking them out on You Tube.

Isco Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Prima-Vera Duckworth ! Not much to it really. My friend's missus called it that about 10 years ago and it stuck. I shall refrain if it's causing so much confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
