Nearest one to fest is diagonal zero. Princess is also good but I think there’s also a Hilton or similar just up the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can highly recommend the Hilton. Managed to get lucky in 2016 and got a twin room for 300 quid. Lovely gaff. Vincci Bit and Condal Mar are very good too.

Vincci Bit and Condal Mar are very good too. Yeah, agree and I made it there once. There are some incredibly comfortable hotels near the Forum (incredibly expensive too normally). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Incognito Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 One day I hope to be able to afford a plush hotel somewhere close to the Forum as opposed to my normal accommodation of a hostel/cheap airbnb elsewhere in the city.

Reliable enough for me to reserve a hotel opposite the fest site (that’s non payable till arrival) that’s gonna treble in price if they do announce a lineup worthy of PS has been achieved. Fingers crossed but obviously it could all come to nothing in which case we cancel the hotel. flights however, are sadly a loss Booked a free cancellation apartment near the Forum, thanks a bunch!

FloorFiller Posted March 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Joint the August hotel booking crew. Seems a big ask to be able to shift it to later in the year and keep even remotely the same standard of lineup, and I’m probably gonna end up losing money somewhere along the way, but fingers crossed they figure out something.

bobhoward Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 The princess hotel seemed to be $220+ that August weekend, while the Hilton, etc are cheaper. wonder if it does get postponed if they’ll still do extra stuff at the Apolo? Will take what we get at this point. Fully confident that they’ll put together a great program if the postpone. Maybe less big names which may turn out to be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 At this point I'll just be massively grateful to have the chance to go and will take what I'm given. I trust Primavera's organisers to do the best possible job in the circumstances. Still deeply sceptical of a postponement, seems too good to be true...

Fleetwood_Mac_And_Cheese Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Before I do this and move the booking potentially pouring more money into something I'm now kinda downhearted about. How sure are we this postponement is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think most of the upper part if the line up will stay the same if the dates are moved. w*nk for me as I'm on holiday then (although just up the road near Perpignan) so could sneak out for a night, I'm sure the other half wouldnt notice!

Memory Man Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Asked our non refundable apartment if theres anything they can do if there is a postponement. You’d be hopeful for some flexibility given the exceptional circumstances. At this stage you’d be better off having not booked anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How sure are we this postponement is happening? Please nobody do anything that costs. All I’ve done is booked stuff that’s pay on arrival with the option of cancelling right up to the day before. I’ll book new fights once postponement is confirmed. as I am lead to understand it, those dates are reserved by PS as plan B, but of course, plan B just might not work out - for myriad reasons.

Well that gives some extra credibility to the rumour.

sneakysabi Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks to the tip from this forum I booked a lovely hotel near Diagonal Zero (fully refundable of course) for August dates. Now let's hope this turns up to be true! Many festivals postponing so can't see why not Primavera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here - new booking at the Diagonal Zero (fully refundable) and it is even cheaper than the original one that required 20 minutes of walking to get to the Parc del Forum. I really hope they can make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
