Old Gold Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 On the other hand, I don't want to be a VIP wanker. I would say that Primavera excels at being a pretty big festival without treating the masses like cattle. My financial situation could be fairly shite next year, so I'm going to hold off until after Christmas and see what's what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colb Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah - got as far as selecting the type of ticket and then just a blank screen - fucksakes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I will never understand why ticket websites have this problem. All it takes is some reasonable planning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 FFS. I came back in here to say that I'd give it another 15 minutes and if not, take it as a sign that I should just spend some cash and go VIP. Where do y'all stay?

Paranoid Android Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure there's a night bus you could get during the hours the metro is closed. However anyone who leaves before the end is a loser. And probably smells bad too. Sonar festival this weekend Sadly I'm only going to make it to the by night parts this year and will miss out on loads of great stuff at the day events Still I'm very excited about seeing Royksopp & Robyn, Caribou, Todd Terje, Lykke Li, James Holden and most of all Chic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 At least there's more places to try tomorrow. I got from Seetickets last year. Last 2 years we've bought a holiday to Barca from Expedia and stayed in NH hotels - kinda similar to a Premier Inn. We were in Gracia the first year, a long way from the site but a really nice part of the city. This year we stayed next to Bogatell metro, not so nice but 3 stops from the site. Only 7 Euro in a taxi home as well, I can't do late nights either so I just jumped in a cab at home time. usually after a mad argument with a cabbie that wanted 25 to take me home.......... Next year I'd like to stay in one of the hotels or an apartment within a 10 min walk of the venue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 We had an airbnb sourced apartment one stop from Sagrade Familia which was a pretty great base for doing other non-Primavera stuff. Plus it was cheap as fuck for a totally livable wee place. Great balcony for coffee and tabbies post-wake up too. Think I'd stick with somewhere along the yellow metro line next time at least though. Probably worth the cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 If any one is looking for a hostel / brothel then I know the perfect place. Missed out on a 99Euro ticket. Will try again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Next year is going to be the worst Primavera Sound ever. That is what I'll be telling myself next year when I'm not there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Are you giving next year a miss? But I've still yet to claim an international stalk despite not having a clue what you look like! Unless there's a big change of plans I won't be living in Barcelona (or anywhere close) next year so I almost certainly won't be going. This time of year does make leaving seem stupid though. Primavera Sound two weeks ago, Piknic Elektronic last sunday (and every week until mid-september) and now Sonar this weekend. It doesn't get much better.

Paranoid Android Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 You well know that Poland is a big place. I plan on going to another part of Poland. Most likely the South Korean part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
