I am totally getting psyched for this holiday now! It’s going to be awesome! I have never been to a festival abroad.. In fact, my first ever festival experience was V festival last year. I would NEVER go back to that festival if they don’t clean up their act a little.
This one in Spain looks amazing though. Beaches, sand, sun and music! The only downside would be outdoor showers but hey I can live with that for 6 days! We plan to go to Barcelona for 1 night to start with, then get the train to the festival. After the festival, we are going to Valencia for a few days as well! So it’s turning into a 3 stop holiday of FUN!! With a little camping..
Anyone wanting to go can get their tickets from here. I believe there are still some available so get to it asap if you’re interested!

Additionally, the VIP Pass grants a series of privileges outlined in points 3 and 4 of these conditions.
However, the Organisation reserves the right to put new kinds of tickets on sale that are not outlined in this point. In any case, said tickets would be subject to the general conditions of ticket sales and access to FIB Heineken 2009 described in this document.
1.3. Once acquired, the ticket cannot be exchanged or refunded, all purchases being final, except in the case of cancellation or date changes on the part of FIB Heineken.
1.4. Admission, without affecting what is reflected in these conditions with regard to the right of admission, is contingent on having a complete ticket in appropriate conditions. Tickets are equipped with different security measures to ensure their authenticity. The Organisation will not be held responsible for tickets that were not purchased at official points of sale. Any damaged ticket, or any ticket with signs of being counterfeit, will authorise the Organisation to deny access to the said ticket holder to the concert venue and, if the case may be, the camping area. The Organisation reserves the right to take any and all legal measures it deems opportune against holders of counterfeit tickets.
1.5. Possession of a ticket does not grant its holder or third parties the right to use the ticket or its contents for purposes related to advertising, marketing or promotions (including, expressly but not exclusively, contests, gifts and/or raffles) associated with the ticket holder or third parties. Failure to comply with this point will obligate the unauthorised advertiser and/or user to pay a penalty equivalent to a thousand times the price of the most expensive ticket to the event, without affecting further claims for general damages. Furthermore, said ticket will be declared null and void immediately.
1.6. Tickets may only be purchased at points of sale expressly authorised by the Organisation.
1.7. In the event a ticket is acquired through the website www.fiberfib.com, said ticket must be printed by the purchaser (at-home print service). The Organisation expressly warns that said tickets cannot be picked up at the box office in Benicàssim.
1.8 The Organisation warns that it has high-tech procedures in place capable of detecting any kind of photocopied or counterfeited ticket. The Organisation reserves the right to deny access to the holder of a ticket if any anomalies are detected. The detection of any fraudulent use of at-home printing tools will be persecuted in accordance with any and all legislation currently in force, including criminal liabilities.
2. Regarding the ticket and its exchange for a wristband:
2.1. The ticket must be exchanged for a wristband upon arriving at the FIB Heineken venue. Tickets can be exchanged for wristbands in the camping areas and the main entrance of the concert venue.
2.2. The Organisation will not be held responsible for the care and maintenance of the wristband once issued; the bearer of the wristband will be solely responsible for its care and maintenance. Damaged or broken wristbands will not be admitted. The wristbands are resilient but not unbreakable.
2.3. Once the ticket has been exchanged for a wristband in a designated area, the wristband becomes the element that certifies acquired rights. The loss of the wristband will translate into the loss of the right of admission. The Organisation warns that manipulated, damaged or broken wristbands will not be admitted. If one leaves the venue, one’s wristband must be perfectly in tact in order to re-enter.
3. Camping-area access:
3.1. The 2-Day, 3-Day and 4-Day Tickets, as well as VIP tickets, grant the right to use the FIB Heineken camping grounds. 2-Day Tickets grant camping rights for two days, either July 17 and 18 or July 18 and 19. All the others grant camping rights from Monday, July 13, to Tuesday, July 22, (nine days and eight nights), at 12:00 pm. 1-Day Tickets do not grant camping-ground rights.
3.2. In order to access the camping areas, you must first exchange your ticket for your wristband when you arrive to Benicàssim, since you will not be allowed to set up camp without it.

5.3. If the cancellation occurs more than half way through the show, there will be no refund at all.
