Benicassim 2012

[londonCarlos]

We're flying to Valencia in 2 weeks, then Benicassim...couple of days chilling out in an apartment before the concerts start! Looking forward to it, so needed!!

Alright all, been following this thread for a while now and wondered if anyone could help me out with a few questions?

1. What is it like with regards to being able to get your own alcohol into the arena?

2. Any suggestions on how much to take? i'm going for the full 8 days camping plus 3 nights in Benidorm after the festival. i was thinking around 800 euro.

3. Are shuttle buses available from the train station to the festival site? if so are they free?

4. during the first few days of camping without music, are there any clubs/bars that anyone recommends in the town or is it a case of have a party on the camp site?

nice one, can't wait now 12 days til we fly out!

2 girls coming by ourselves, we're wondering whether to bother with a proper tent or maybe just get one to lock our stuff in and then find some kind of shade to sleep under during the day? Does anyone know if there are places we could get cheap camping gear in the town as we're flying in with easyjet and we haven't paid for check in bags.

Also we haven't sorted transfers yet, we arrive on 11th to barca and are flying back on 17th from alicante, does anyone know what its best to do on the 16th, should we just get ourselves to alicante and find a cheap hotel?

haha so unorganised! But so excited

absolute legend. cheers.

OK guys im relying on you experienced Beni goers....those of you who have needed a taxi, rough guesstimate of a 30 mile journey?? We are in Alcossebre which is a bus-free zone by the looks of things. I realise the cab drivers will fire the prices up around festival time, have any of you tried to haggle and been successful?

[redandblack22]

Hey, I'm a bit stuck on this free transport link. The country of origin box only gives you spanish options, can we just say we're from alicante? Or does this mean which city are we wanting the bus from? Once you book it do they email you a ticket? For £3 feels good to actually get something sorted, and if we can't find the bus we've only lost a few quid!

The monday after the festival?

I am game. Have nothng to do until the tuesday morning when I leave valencia

[briddj]

We're flying into Barcelona and then getting the train across. We couldn't face 4.5 hours on a bus. Can have comfort and beers on the train. Train takes 2.5 hours.

Anyone else taking the train?

You'll be much cooler on the coach than you will be for the rest of the week. Make the most of it!

Stage times will get released on monday 9th. The festival usually kicks of around 5/6pm if i remember correctly. Might be slightly later on Thu due to less acts. Don't have a clue about transport from Oropesa!

Does anyone know if Rail-Europe is a legit site for train tickets? anyone used them before?

tried using Renfe, but even when you go on the English site, it still says it all in Spainish so hard to understand and kept giving me errors.

[Welshyyy]

Not sure if anyone has already replied to this? But when i tried using renfe i had similar problems...i bought my tickets from rail europe, they arrived the next day and they definitely look legit to me. Came in one of those ticket holders the whole works.
