€3 for a small beer (33cl), €9 for a large beer (1L, just under 2 pints), or (generous) spirit and mixer. 

Beer is decent strength.  Estrella the last couple of years.  Not too sure if they're back to Heineken next year.  Drought Desperado also on the menu in recent years. All tokens cost €3 each.  €1 cans from hawkers outside the festival site, if you're on a budget, and don't mind sitting out for a bit, whilst you're grabbing a refresher.

this one looks okay https:///s/fib17/ 

Thanks for the link.

The stage times look OK but a few timings and running order look a little off. I can't see Courteeners only doing 50 minutes given they did more than that in 2014 and that was sharing the stage with Charlatans who are a big name. Surelyif they're headlining that stage they'd have a minimum of 1 hour.

Ah, just a minute or two - queues are never that bad, although this year numbers are expected to be approx 30% up on recent years.

Nah, don't believe that Clashfinder. Pure fantasy and basically showing the wishes of the guy who created it.

Temples plays at 10.30 on Friday

Pete Doherty at 11.30 on Saturday

Dua Lipa at 9.30 on Sunday.

There's some Spanish people that annually they write directly to the bands asking for their stage time making up some kind of excuse. Once they are receiving official confirmation of the times they update the Clashfinder.

This is the link with what they've found out so far: https:///s/benicassim17/

Anyway, they will release them soon, probably in a week or two.

Wouldn't even bother ironing them, they'll be drenched in sweat within 5 minutes haha 

[neilleeds88]

Does anybody know if you can buy drinks tokens and food in the arena with cards?

You'd be best off ironing them at home and folding them properly. To be fair, you won't be wearing anything during the day and at night it will be too dark and everyone will be too busy to care about a few creases in your t-shirt.

who are the 3 acts? 

Kaytranada, The Weeknd and Mick Jenkins. Stormzy as well but thinking he might clash with The Courteeners.

This is my 7th year running, and camping has definitely not sold out in any of the previous years at I've been.  At the press conference, 3 weeks ago, advanced 4 day tickets were up by 40% compared to last year, and this year they are expecting between 50k-55k people there each day, whereby last years it was 35k-40k, so a massive increase, based im certain, by the strength of the 2017 line up.

Have you tried to get/book a train from Barcelona Sants to Beni? Then just take the local train from Girona to Sants, which takes just 40 mins and runs 2x per hour. Just pay for that ticket/journey locally, if you can't book in advance.

I'd say this one looks the most realistic Clashfinder at the moment? But can, and probably will all change??? https:///s/fib2017/
