Benicassim 2012

[philly_eds]

So Optimus Alive have just added Refused to their line up. A line up that already includes The Stone Roses, The Cure, Radiohead, Justice etc... with ticket prices there also being a lot cheaper than Beni. Anyone else regretting buying a Beni ticket? Or feeling slightly ripped off in comparison? I really do hope we get some positive announcements soon... :S

Optimus does look a lot better, but truthfully i don't really like any acts on both line ups aha! Radiohead at Optimus and At the Drive in at Benicassim, i'm just going to experience it really can't wait though

[RossTC]

flights and accom all sorted, roll on July!

[Rhyscot]

This line-ups lacking some good Djs and dance artists like Diplo/Majorlazer, A-trak/Duck sauce, skrillex, knife party, Swedish house, annie mac.

So if they've sold 3000 tickets for £125 and are selling 5000 tickets now for £155 does that mean they haven't even sold 8000 yet?!

Is it a slow uptake his year or is it always like this?

[Sarge009]

For the Beni demographic, Stone Roses, The Cure and Radiohead all in one place at Optimus is miles better than what FIB have put out so far. Surely they can't have splashed it all on Stone Roses as I bet Optimus have less of a budget than Beni any day. Could it be to do with the Costa de Fuego fest?

Booked shuttle transfers from Alicante to the festival & back with eufest, anyone ever used them before? What are the buses like? Does it party all the way to Benni & Back?

[the salmon]

theres a big car park at the front and a smaller one round the back (both free). We parked in the one round the back as it was nearer to our tent.

Be careful using your car in the day. If you come back too late the car park fills up and you can struggle to get a space. My advice is to stock up on all your booze food at the start, keep it in the boot (we always hire a big car) and dont use it again until you leave.

We definitely need some dance acts. I don't care if people are saying it's an Indie festival the fact is they had some good DJ's last so where the hell are they this year. FIB needs to sort it out!!!

[Neeeeeedles]

I did tweet them saying this, lets hope they listen. Just some DJs, all we got at the moment is Dave Clarke.

And David Guetta......

[Junglist-Guy]

David Guetta is not a DJ, the guy would be lost if you put him in front of a pair of 1210's.

[Neeeeeedles]

We do also have Todd Terje as well. His reworkings are pretty decent, especially like his Roxy Music one.

[rug568]

Yeah i know. I really shouldn't be sarcastic on the internet.

sebastiAn is pretty good:

Does anyone know how you'd go about getting rid off tickets ? For me, the line-up doesn't justify paying the price for flights and then other things. Is it as easy as just sticking them on ebay (at face value) or are there strings attached ?

Thanks

update the rumours please admin you must have found out some new info

could you also confirm that both flo & at the drive in are headliners?

[rug568]

I would cut your losses and sell them for about £140 on ebay.

[Davydenko]

You can try to sell the tickets at lastfm event of Benicasim.

Yesterday I could pick m83 tickets in Madrid to m83 madrid concert, and it have been sold out since 3 months ago.
