Has anyone else chosen postal tickets? (As opposed to the print at home option).

I'm going to be heading out a week before the festival, and it has just occured to me that I only have until the end of next week for my tickets to turn up.

I presume the tickets are going to be dispatched next week but am rather annoyed with myself for not choosing the print at home option.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've chosen the postal tickets. I called up Seetickets to see if I could change them to print at home and that's a no go. Fingers crossed that they arrive before we set off to Spain.

Just spotted the offical buses that go to the festival from the various airports around, there doesn't seem to be much info on when they leave etc., only booking info. Does anyone know anything more about these or have gotten them before? Also, would ye recommend booking in advance? It looks like it'd be handier getting a bus straight from the airport instead of bus and train. Flying into Reus

In regards to your post gavin try Eu-fest for your transfers as they go direct from reus airport.Im not sure what they're availability would be like so close to the festival but its certainly worth a try. I used them last year from reus airport and I'm using them this year also.It certainly saves time messing around with trains.

Also good news on the campsite front. Although they are still charging for what they call 'luxury' camping, they have now re-opened Bonet.

Not long to go now

It looks like there are four campsites

Looks like people power worked here. The organisers must have have second thoughts about pissing so many people off.

Campfib, Villacamp and Caravanas are next to the festival site and Benicamp is nearer the town.

Benicamp is a 30 minute walk I think, but I like the walk. You cross the village, so there's shops and bars and a lot of people sitting and drinking. And you're very close to the beach.

Campfib is 5 minutes, but there's a lot less trees and the beach is quite a walk.

Oh it's going to be fantastic! I hope Holland will play the finals on the 11th!

If I camp at Benicamp on Monday night can I switch over to Campfib when it opens on the Tuesday?

Has anyone ever gone up on the Sunday and stayed on the beach? How is it, would you recommend?

The wristbands are the same for the free campsites, so it will be fine I guess.

I sleep outside every night in Benicassim, the temperature is really nice during the night.

Hi folks,

Went to benicassim last year had an amazing time, camping was quite an effort though. Decide to this year to book a hotel in castellon which seems relatively close, does anyone know how easy it is to get a taxi/shuttle bus/bus in the early hours? Not really clear from the sites ive visted.

Many Thanks

P.S cheers for the beniplanner FrotyM much appreciated

[inge]

Don't know really, but Castellon is pretty far, isn't it?

Oh and a tip for the first-timers: Aquarama, a waterpark in Benicassim. So much fun!

[Alexob]

Watching a bit of glastonbury and Hot Chip looked epic. can't wait .

First time going to beni, flight is this time two weeks, so excited

We're staying in a hotel for the first three nights and then camping for the festival! Is it easy to buy a tent over there? Just so so it would work out about the same/cheaper then checking one in with ryanair? and lugging it half way around Spain! There's 3 of us heading over (so far!)
