Can you move between rooms 1 and 2 at the Apolo and Razzmatazz Ciutat shows?

(sorry, I'm sure this has been asked before, I can't find a definitive answer though)

It's not been a problem with Apolo before. Don't know about Razzmatazz, tho.

But with tickets selling separately for Apolo 1 and Apolo 2 shows, there should be at least some kind of wristband check or something (so it probably won't be totally fluent and check-free).

Oh, damn. Hope you're not right. I was really hoping to go up and down on Sunday at the Apolo.

I imagine this will definitely be the case, imagine paying for a ticketed show and being told you're not allowed in. There's definitely gonna be some check of some kind.

They’ve updated the poster on the website and they posted them on Instagram stories this morning

I just need to know that Autechre and Earl Sweatshirt aren't clashing.

Knowing my luck it will be a three-way Earl, Gizz and Simz clash.

Lucky Gizz and Simz can be seen separately then 😉

[Guy Incognito]

Would like to see Gizz and Simz too for sure but have seen them both quite a few times.

[cortomaltese]

Im not sure, but I think the ciutat tickets (15% of the capacity) are available for everyone, and not only ps ticket-holders. And of course with the same price.

This doesn't seem 100% right, imo.

There’s actually an argument that festival goers should be banned from buying them just to guarantee their place, considering they have entry already.

I like the idea that local residents can join, who would love to attend but don’t have enough money for a festival ticket.

We're around for the 5th so yeah, hopefully we can squeeze an extra Beck, Gizz or Simz show in depending who we miss at the festival. Getting a little antsy about clashes now, just want this damn timetable up so I can set my expectations.

I think it’s fair to give something back to the city for hosting the festival and the thousands of attendees for 12 consecutive days. 
 

I know that if I lived in BCN and couldn’t afford a festival ticket, I would be absolutely buzzing at the thought of getting the likes of Phoenix, Khruangbin & Ride for €15

They've posted that this is the case on their socials.

Nicely said, totally agree.

However, I don't follow any social media except for Twitter (so maybe Facebook/Instagram fans are alright 🙂 ), but people on Twitter seem to be pretty pissed about this, they feel like they already paid for the PS tickets and they don't like the idea of not being let inside the venue just because some tickets were sold to non-festival-goers.

I also like this idea, but this could be accomplished with a free day in an open area (as Wednesdays used to be), and not clubs with very limited capacity. We ll see how it ll work.

People just like to whinge. They're already getting the festival they paid for, these gigs are a bonus and the big acts would fill over capacity without the extra 15% sold to the public regardless.

Cannot wait to be walking over that fuck off big ramp, hiding water bottle lids in my socks and walking into the Parc Del Forum in a few weeks.

This, unless you paid the extra buck for the VIP/full weekend tickets there's no guarantee whatsoever + chances are there's quite a few people with festival tickets not taking any chances and buying those tickets anyways. So I'm not even sure there's going to be that many outsiders

[scatteredscreens]

Yeah I agree with the general sentiment, let the locals and venues get a bit more benefit - they've got to deal with my horrible British pronunciation of Spanish words so they deserve something.

Doss ser-vay-sah por-fah-vor? 

[jannybruck]

Just got the AccessTicket email for my DICE tickets, fucking finally.

[yaniv297]

At which time do the tickets go on sale tomorrow? Dice says 5:00 pm but I'm not sure if that's Spanish time or my local time.

Also, how packed do you think Beach Bunny (Sunday) and The Magnetic Fields (Monday) will be? I'm thinking of ordering to guarantee a spot but not sure how necessary it will be. I think there are bigger acts playing those days that are likely to be a lot more packed, but hard to tell how popular certain acts are.

To avoid the misleading: those with VIP/full weekend tickets have kind of priority but are still NOT guaranteed to get in
