Beni ticket bought on ebay

[Murdoc]

Hey all,

Just joined here and its the first time I'm off to beni. I don't know if there are a lot of these topics flying around.

Few questions I'm starting to worry over

Anyway, I bought a ticket off ebay and it doesn't have my name on it. I don't have any other proof of ID of the person who sold it to me (confirmation e-mail, Passport, etc) and I'm starting to worry if I don't get in. Are beni strict on this ID thing? What was ID like last year? Is this year differant?

Second question: All my friends are flying out on the 14th and I'm early on the 15th. Are beni strict on the camping conditions? I'm hoping that they will be able save a spot for my tent when I arrive. (Its only one night, and i'm arriving at benicassim in the afternoon on 15th) Would this be alright?

Sorry for the long post, just panicing wee bit.

Hi Beni,

You really need to contact the person who sold you the eticket on eBay asap to get a copy of his passport as the confirmation email clearly states the following:

Terms and conditions of ticket sales and access to Fib Heineken 2009 Please pay careful attention to the conditions of entry with e-tickets:

- The person booking tickets will receive all the tickets booked at one time as e-mail attachments.

- Each ticket must be printed out and given to the attendees prior to arrival at the festival. It is the responsibility of the ticket purchaser to ensure all e-tickets are distributed correctly in advance of the festival

- The barcodes on each e-ticket are different and will match the name of the person who booked the tickets

- Every person attending the festival must take their own passport and additionally, if their ticket was not booked using their own credit/debit card, must also take a photocopy of the photopage of the passport of the cardholder who purchased the tickets. (This includes joint accounts - the name on the card used for the booking must match the name on the passport or passport photocopy)

- You must be in possession of a valid, printed e-ticket to gain admittance to the festival

- No hard tickets will be posted out or available for collection at the festival.

- Any copies, forgeries or duplicates will be identified by the access system and refused entry

- E-tickets must be printed out on to plain white paper- coloured or printed paper will not be acceptable

- Please keep your e-ticket safe, secure and flat - torn, damaged, crumpled, or wet e-tickets will be rejected by the access system. If this occurs due to the dishevelled nature of your e-ticket, you will be responsible for reprinting the ticket at your own expense and inconvenience

- Anyone who arrives at the festival having forgotten their printed e-ticket must go to Benicassim town where there are internet cafes available and reprint their e-ticket at their own expense

- If when scanned at the entrance, the access system deems that the unique barcode has already been used to gain admittance to the festival it shall be assumed that the person who booked the tickets facilitated the duplication of the tickets for the purpose of fraud.

Any additional attempts to use a barcode which has already be admitted will be refused entry, even if proof can be provided that the refusal is against the original purchaser and not the person who has already gained admittance.

Therefore it is imperative that the person booking the tickets ensures that tickets are sent to the rightful recipients and that the rightful recipients are made aware that any attempts of duplication or fraudulent use will result in all tickets under that confirmation number to be invalidated before entry

If you do not receive your e-tickets before 1st July 2009, please send an e-mail to festivals@lastminute.com

- To gain admittance to the campsites and the festival you will need to exchange your e-ticket for a wristband at the wristband exchange located at the festival.

I'm pretty sure this isn't an e-ticket. I didn't recieve it by e-mail but by post in its hard copy. Originally purchased at seetickets.com.
