One booking per venue and day for Primavera a la ciutat. This sucks. They could had maximum 2 bookings per person, provided both of them to be ticket holders. 

what's wrong with this? makes it more fair so people can see a show at least. more than one could end up with people getting multiple venues and some people getting none.

They actually said on answere in the comments that there are news to come regarding auditorium shows so no clue

Ciutat tickets on sale since May 9th (for VIPs) - this might mean that we will get the timetable before that. Or are we supposed to choose our ciutat programme without knowing which artists we can't see during the main days because of clashes?

The latter unfortunately

Did we get the timetable last year before they started selling 15% non-festival tickets for Ciutat?

Maybe I misunderstood, but will it be possible to book 2 tickets at once for the same show, for me and my friend (both ticketholders)? 

[xxialac]

15% of tickets for e.g. Apolo = 187 tickets available.

I won’t be my holding breath for those alas, especially as available to the general public.

Good news, it looks like you will be book more than 1 ticket (2 presumably?).

[Hip Priest]

Apologies if this has been pointed out before but I notice that the Sunday night shows in Apolo 1 and 2 are each divided into two events with a separate ticket required for each, ie PSB and then from midnight Dave P and DJ Playero. The ElectroniCON event also begins at 12am after Maggie Rogers/Gwenno/Lila Drew have finished (and the room cleared presumably).

Hotels and Air BnB's are through the fucking roof.

They have been for Barcelona Primavera since F1 announced the Spanish grand Prix was the same weekend.

[frankburns]

There will be a non-Primavera-event on Monday night at Sala Apolo and La (2) that starts at midnight; so the ciutat-concerts probably have to end around 11 pm.

Well, it begins.  The good problem of do I see Pet Shop Boys in a tiny club, or see them on site & then free up a potential Japanese Breakfast clash on the Friday by seeing them at an equally great venue on Sunday.  Oh the dilemma.

Who else is going to be on the main stages  on the Thursday , usually 6 , so thinking pusha t , the Anderson paak, loyle carner.

I think that's realistic enough. I could see Central Cee being put on too just as he's a huge star now. Either early in the day or after all the headliners.

Would really love to see NxWxrries at Cupra but probably pull too big of a crowd for that.

Also last year K pop pulled some biiiig crowds early in the day at the Ouigo stage. Could see them putting Perfume or Red Velvet on the main stage early in the day to get people into the arena.

Do you mean Dreamcatcher at Tous stage? Or was there some K-pop at Ouigo stage I completely missed?

[Nesser]

Something like Cabiria - Loyle Carner - Halsey - New Order - Blur - Le Tigre with Pusha, Turnstile and Ghost playing at Primavera (Binance) and NwWorries, Sparks and Darkside at Ray-Ban

Le Tigre closing Mordor doesn't sound completely right. If I had to guess, I would put Le Tigre between Cabiria and Halsey and NxWorries as a Mordor closing act.

As long as Ghost and Turnstile don't both clash with Blur and New Order I'll be happy.

Ah whoop yes mixed up names of stages. Dreamcatcher popped off and it was like 7pm in the afternoon

I am preparing myself for Turnstile clashing with Blur or New Order. I pray not but I can see them doing it.

Popped off is a exaggeration. There was a pretty hardcore crowd in the front, but it was not very packed. They filled maybe 1/3 or 1/2 of the capacity on a small stage. I don't know how huge Perfume or Red Velvet is compared to Dreamcatcher. Seems like Red Velvet is the best bet for main stage, if you look at streaming numbers (almost 8 mill monthly listeners vs 1 mill from Dreamcatcher).

For sure keeping that in mind. If BlackPink can come to BCN and sell out arenas then I have faith in K pop pulling in some sort of crowd on the main stage. Of course BlackPink are the biggest K pop act in the world so not expecting anything like that but as you say, Red Velvet has a pretty big fanbase and the main stages are mostly empty early on anyway.

I think this is 100% happening. I've come to terms with it at this stage.
