Please let me know if you can answer my questions...
Where should we stay in Madrid if we would like to be near Festimad??? Where is the venue exactly by the underground??? And how can we get back to the center???

henchman · January 2007

Got my tickets too !

Not a big festival (20000 tickets on sale) and the cheapest show from the tour I guess.

The festival is in a town in the south called Leganes. It's a small football stadium called Butarque:

You can arrive there using the "metro" (underground). Find "Leganes" in line 12

"Metro" works only until 1.30 on saturdays but promotor said that all concerts will finish at 0.30

Sorry guys, could you help me find out what that line means???

I will go to collect them:

Once the purchase is complete, and at your own convenience, you can pick up your tickets at any of the following collection points: up to 72 hours* before the show (weekends, festiveness not included) in Authorised shops and from to 2 hours before the show in Venue´s Ticket Offices

does this mean if I arrive on Friday I can pick it up only at the Venue's Ticket??? What's this 72 hours stuff?
or I can't pick it up there at all???

What I understood:

- if you buy the tix via web and you don't want to spend 40 euros shipping, you have to be in madrid a useful time before WHICH is 72 hours before the show excluded weekends. So:tuesday

Check out also the other sites where they sell (now only tick tack have them) .
At Corte Ingles I bought some tickets for festivals in the past and pick them up the same day of the start date of the gig.

thanx - it sounds ridiculous...at first postal cost is higher than a PJ TICKET c'mon + they don't send it to Hungary by the way...:) it's OK, 'cos we're not part of the European Community since 2004;)

could you give me the link of other sites, please???

festiveness, not festivals :-)

henchman · January 2007

I've used ticktacktickets several times so I will try to explain...

You can collect your tickets in Madrid in any authorised shops (Corte Ingles, FNAC or other record shops) until wednesday 6. Since then you have to collect them in the venue before the show.

They just try to explain that weekends don't count on those 72 hours.

Two days before the show the tickets that have not been collected are printed and taken to the venue. So you can collect them in an envelope with your name just before entering into the festival.

sorry for my english !

Ricsard · January 2007

That was a correct and clear comment Henchman, thank you, now I understand everything so your English cannot be bad:)!!!!

Thanks for the info. henchman. Just booked my tickets, was a bit worried about the collection and didn't fancy the 40euro cost to the UK!

I have been debating this show with my brothers -->we all went to Dublin and had a blast last year.

Has anybody been to this festival before? Can you give me a guess on the set length, time allotment PJ would have. Are we talking like the short opening for Petty length or is it almost a whole show 30+ songs.

Thanks.

Ricsard · February 2007

OLAAAAAAAA, MADRID, PJ is finally a pretty good reason to give up everything else and get to the Spanish capital !!

Nothing else matters at the moment!!!!!!!!!!

Not quite sure where to stay....
hotel near the airport, hotel in the city or are there hotels in Leganes?

Hotel near the airport might be the easiest- if public transport is o.k.
Hmmm....
Thanks for the info though!:D

Holiday Inn next to the airport, only 45 Euros per night for the room, with breakfast in the morning.
Good if more than one person going.

http://www.festimad.es
