I'm happy to stick with weekend one and a few days of the city gigs.

Same as I think.

Would love to see YYY again though. 195 for the extra ticket is a bit steep for that.

Main thing is, I will finally get to see Les Savy Fav for the first time since I saw them in some bar in Perth, WA in 2005 Crawdaddy in October 2007.

Jesus.

I have my ticket still for last year's Primavera. I got an email the other day, but only saw it today. Says I can choose which weekend to use the ticket for next year, but the deadline to do is by 11.59 tonight (May 31st)
Just a heads up to anyone who still has the 2020 ticket that isn't aware of that.

Bought Weekend 1 ticket, flights and accomdation to be organised, it's a year away so no panic !!

1st Weekend is sold out.

I have a 2020 ticket, still valid for next year. They emailed me offering me the option of weekend 1 or 2. Chose weekend 1. They told me they would send me confirmation of my booking in the month of July. Still haven't heard anything. Anyone else who retained their 2020 ticket heard anything?

Do you have a copy of your Google form that you would have filled out?

Just logged into my Festicket account there.

Has this:

"Your order will be delivered by 27 May 2022. We'll upload your trip info here, and email you when we're done."

So I'd have a look at your account if I were you.

Any 2022 thread for this? I cant see it.

Anyone going? accommodation is very pricey this year, we usually stay in Poblenou but thats looking unlikely this year, any recommendations for nice areas on a direct metro line to the forum?

Thanks!

yes, heading this year, first weekend. Booked my accom last summer thankfully. Flights were dearer too but guess that's the way of the world now.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 04-04-2022 3:50pm

Ah nice, where abouts you staying?

We just found something reasonable around Sagrada familia, so not too bad, can get a metro from verdeguar

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup · 12-04-2022 3:20am

going 2nd weekend and just booked flights. they were crazy expensive. usually they come down around 6 weeks out but now flights are being booked out. loads going to the festival or just loads of holidaymakers in general? You'd assume the latter but I'm hearing a lot more people going this year from Ireland, the festival seems more well known.

accom was booked on airbnb about a year ago and I got pretty lucky

Acta Voroport in Poble nou, €400 for 4 nights. About 2k walk to site, handy for afterwards.

re accommodation

Yeah, there were some great bargains to be had last year for PS22. Don't think we'll ever see the likes of it again. have you stayed in the Acta? was my original reservation for 2020, wondering what it's like.

Sagrada Familia area not Poblenou but not bad either. The tram should get you most of the way home when the metro is out of action.

Have read of a few people having their airbnb bookings cancelled. Same happened to me a few years ago so am wary of getting a flat in BCN again, though the fact my gang is down to two makes it a moot point as a hotel is the only realistic option.

Huge capacity this year (75/80k?). Am a bit worried about overcrowding - will try to avoid Rayban late night. The bridge to the Beach club could be another bottleneck. Hopefully the thousands of newbies keep with the programme considerate behaviour that PS have generally enjoyed.

This is the 2022 thread!

Accommodation is eye-watering this year if you didn't grab it last year or the year before or the year before! :O

Even the Primavera tax on flights was something else on Wed 01/06.

Flying into Madrid on the Wed and getting the train from there. Love the AVE!

Listening to playlists of acts has finally gotten me giddy.

Very poor thread this year!

The accommodation gouging is pretty sickening it will put me off going next year if it continues.

The line up is great thou, looks like Nick Cave is still playing!

BonnieSituation · 17-05-2022 2:08pm

I only got a dispensation from herself and the wee one to go this year seeing as I bought the tickets in 2019 seeing as that was long before she was a twinkle in anyone's eye! 🤣🤣🤣

This thread is a microcosm of the whole of Boards since the update. Shame.

With the RWC next year I can't see me heading to Primavera at all. I'm okay with that tbh.

I'll get to see Les Savy Fav again this year and that'll do me.

dinneenp · 17-05-2022 2:20pm

Seems that Nick Cave is still playing.

Sr. Pirotecnic · 18-05-2022 11:06am

PS announcing 2023 dates has not been helpful for those looking for early bird accommodation bargains.

Read a rumour the bridge to the beach might not be in operation this year so you will have to take the long road to get there. It was already a bit of a faff getting there so this, if true, might turn it into two festivals in one. The beach area will surely be expanded too, explaining the appearance of Sant Adrià in posters etc.

crl84 · 19-05-2022 5:42pm

Times out now.

Also new layout for Mordor, main stages right beside each other. The bridge walk to BITS seems to be closed now.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup · 15-06-2022 12:52am

Got back in Sunday night from Girona to Dublin. Skyscanner screwed me by not telling me there was flights from Shannon. Anyway, not sure if I'll go back, not until the crowds are a bit smaller anyway. It was just way too packed. The main stage was great back in 2014 and 2016, you could get pretty close and have space around yeah. But this time it was packed and I was so far back, I might as well have been watching on Youtube. Saying that, MIA was still great on the main stage. And I loved most things I saw on the other stages, but the main stages are where all teh big hitters are.
