Hopefully this is the right place to get an answer to my question...

Is there a bus from the train station to Bonet? We're actually staying in Bonterra but I've been reliably informed that they're quite close to each other?

Or do we take on the walk in the 2pm sun?

Arghh...

Hey guys,

trying to sort out transport out of Beni on the 22nd. Booking tickets on Renfe but does anyone know what happens regarding the tickets i.e. do Renfe post them or are they electronic tickets or what? If it's posting, there is no time for them to be posted now.

Thanks.

It's almost the weekend! beni starts here!!

This is my first time to Benicassim, so looking forward to it. What does the arena actually look like? I mean, is it set in fields, or is it all, like concrete? I don't mind - beaches and sun make up for it! How many people is this festival? 40,000?

And, most importantly, where do I get the best disco biscuits? How do i avoid being ripped off?

Cheers

Hi everyone - just a bit of info. I've just bought a ticket off e-bay (for a mate) and was a bit alarmed to discover it's an e-ticket, and in someone else's name. Now the seller assures me that if she sends a photocopy of her bf's passport since it's in his name, then everything will be OK. Will it? I'd hate my mate to arrive there and then find out that we've been had.

Thanks

Anthony

      No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.

      I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.

      Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
