Today all three seem to be going ahead which is s good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postC86 Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 A question for the social media types who have been to Primavera before if I may, I do not even take a phone with me normally to Primavera but since we need a ticket app to get in this time we are with a phone, normally I steer clear of social media but I am wondering if it is worth setting up a twitter account to follow the Primavera feed for up to date information or whether the same info on any secret shows, time changes etc will be updated on the app at the same time as twitter.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pushing people to download the app so that will be the first place any changes will be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They livestreamed a selection of the acts from the 2019 edition, but nothing's been announced for this year so I'm guessing not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Dickfingers Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Lol are people seriously trying to crack on that The Strokes and Massive Attack probably no longer playing weekend one without any replacements is okay and if it isn’t the festival isn’t for you. Who do you think you are hahaha. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you live local/have friends or family in Barcelona, it's really not a good deal because the cost of flights and hotels this last minute easily put it above likely what you've paid, hence the dirt cheap cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does happen for quite a lot of events now though. To the extent that it's almost worth booking flights & accommodation for things and not the event ticket. Worst case scenario you have a long weekend in Barcelona. Obviously, if you're desperate to go this is a risky strategy but could be a good shout for some cities/events.

So what you’re saying is, book hotels/flights etc as early as possible and just get a ticket on the resale market the week before. Risky, especially just to save like £80, but probably a decent bet to work most years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannybruck Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Yeah, there have always been a really solid amount of resale tickets from Jan-June, even on sold out years. I can't ever remember a year when tickets were like gold dust. Not everyone can hold their nerve that long really so it's not always practical, but you'd easily cancel out the cost of your booze over the weekend if you got a week-before ticket.

Martin_89 Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Anyone know how the queues is at the airport in Barcelona at the moment? When should we arrive at the airport when we're going home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whos3000_ Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Last time I went to PS (2018) I managed to sell my daily ticket on the Wednesday before the fest and to buy a resell full fest ticket at like 100 €. I thought that this year being sold out would have created a different demand-offer balance but from the next year on I think I’ll buy from the secondary ticketing market Edited May 29, 2022 by Whos3000_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When should we arrive at the airport when we're going home? Someone told me passport check queues coming into Barcelona a couple weeks ago were really bad for UK passengers. Two hour queue 😬 Fingers crossed they sort something, I know Portugal are opening up the EU gates to UK passengers to prevent queues. Gonna be a busy one with the long bank holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
