Primavera Sound 2013

[tolywoly]

Wondering about late night public transports/safety in Barcelona after concerts since most nearby hotels seem booked up. Thanks for any help on this.

[Boris]

I had no plans to go to this until a friend pointed out the line-up. I am totally gobsmacked by it.. so many bands I love- and at least 4 of whom have risen phoenix like from the ashes. Totally blown away... and I have bought my ticket!

[POKERDUDE]

OK, I'm going to primavera for the first time this year, got a ticket, no accommodation yet, is the centre of Barcelona close enough and east to get to the festival from?

(and any other helpful tips would be appreciated).

cheers

[jordi]

very easy to get there, read here:

been there twice, fantastic. main problem is trying to catch too much, esp. with this incredible lineup. have fun

[Imkindofabigdealaroundhere]

Really looking forward to this one, some great acts and heard some amazing things about it.

Would especially love to see this happen (it won't though):

One thing (I think someone else has mentioned this earlier) is anything actually happening on the Sunday night?

You can still get day tickets. Three of them will cost you around around £225. So not vastly more than the price of a weekend ticket.

[TheEpiphany]

Thought it would be less of an attack on my bank balance to buy the flights, hostel and tickets seperately. Left without a full ticket but a decent hostel and flights. Going to have to go for the day tickets

[tolywoly]

Blimey, we only paid 150 euros for our vip tickets last July, glad we did now!

[cdm22]

What does the VIP ticket get you? We accidentally found our way in to a VIP bar last year. There was free San Miguel and Red Bull.

"Advantages of VIP Full festival ticket: access to the VIP area with food and drink at discount prices, access to the site through exclusive lane, priority access to venues with limited capacity (Auditori Rockdelux, Sala Apolo, Casa da Música, Hard Club...), a welcome pack (official bag, festival book….) and other advantages."

....whatever they may be! It wasn't much more than a normal ticket at the time and a freind of mine who buys a vip ticket most years suggested it was worth it.

Just seen that Fiona Apple, Crime & The City Solution, Foxygen and Fidlar have all cancelled

Django Django, Phosphorescent, DJ Koze, Scuba and The Drones are replacing them

Distraught Fiona Apple has cancelled, was really looking forward to seeing her

[Moon Monkey]

Anyone know stage times or when they are published?

We're flying in Wednesday evening and wondering if we will make it or not

[Rio]

Tickets from See got lost in transit. They can't track them because I am international and they are giving me the wait till 48hrs before the festival spiel before doing anything about it of course. Anyone been in the same boat and had to pick them up from the See office at the venue? Is there a customer care number for See I can call as their mails were just form responses and they really like to hide that number on their website.

[Rio]

Not been in that situation, but on the days of the festival at the wristband collection points there are individual box offices / counters for all the different ticket re-sellers.

Hopefully if See are decent about it they will just get you to collect them on site.

When do you fly out? maybe keep on at them letting them know you won't be in the country 48 hours before.

[Homer]

The Parc del Forum times are already up on the website for Wednesday

From twitter (and through google translate) it looks like they're aiming to announce the rest of the stage times this Friday but they might wait until after the Champions League semi-finals so they can schedule Saturday's bands around the final

I imagine it will fairly closely resemble this though http:///s/ps2013pre/?user=0016ep.kt&

I'm way too excited, flying in four weeks yesterday WOOOO!!

[Diamond Solitaire]

Does this apply to Porto too re line up times release do you know? Looked on Twitter but couldn't see anything. Ta! (last night's 4-0 drubbing might well encourage them to bring the announcement forward!)
