Buying tickets from lastminute.com

Bought 2 tickets for Benicassim from lastminute.com about 6 weeks ago. Can't go due to unforseen circumstances so I'll be looking to sell them. Sent them an email asking when I can expect delivery and all they will say is "close to the event", which won't give me much chance to get rid of them. Has anyone any experience of buying tickets from them before and how close to the event do they usually arrive?

I bought off them in the past for U2 last year in Manchester.
I had alot of hassle with them and in the end I had to collect the tickets at the venue on the day as they would not post them internationally.
I had to ring them many times and they didnt seem to have a clue what was going on.

u could be in a spot of bother...for future reference you'll be able to buy tickets on the day at benicassim...with lots of people selling excess tickets at dscounts outside

Nah lastminute might be a bit crap but they re not touts (I think the watchdog favorites were getmetickets). Lastminute a fully fledged travel site that sells tickets as well.

But I too had problems with them (again with having to box office collect when they wouldnt deliver to Ireland).

On this occasion it might not be Lastminutes problem. I ve bought tickets from Tick-Tack for this years Benicassim and only got an email confirm with directions to pick up at box office when we arrive.

Any of you guys been to benicassim before. Planning on flying into Barcelona and making a holiday of it, with festival at the end to look forward to. By the sounds of it - it will be scorching hot, not looking forward to sleeping in a sweaty tent.

I dont think Tick Tack deliver outside Spain.
I bought tickets off them to see U2 a few years back and I had to collect the tickets in Spain from a vending booth.
You put in your credit card and your tickets are printed.

Are they the camping tickets? If so I'll take them off you if at all possible.
