my hotel!

is there a big open air watering hole that we can all descend on i wonder ?

my suggestion: best meeting point in Barcelona is Canaletas at the Ramblas. Fun and party all time.

If you move in a centric area, you'll find one every 2 blocks.

Well, many of us have suggested Las Ramblas as a meeting point...

If you prefere to go on your own, I recomend Mirablau. It's a classic bar located in Tibidabo mountain. You'll have a nice view of the city from there.

For restaurants and tapas-bars, going to the Born area would be a good choice.

i've just dug out my ServiCaixa ticket confirmation whilst looking for something else. and although i paid for FOS tickets at 81 euros each.

it says on the printout 'Entrada General'

does anyone else have the same ???

Same here. That's the way it is, I think...

Andy and Lorenz: I don't wanna @#$%& here, but how is it that your FOS tickets say "Entrada General" (i.e. General Ticket or General Admission), just as mine, which really is (i.e. really paid) General Admission (i.e. 70 euros)?? Does it mean I have an FOS access ticket too? Or does it mean all the pitch is first to come-first served??

It would be great if you could post a scan of your ticket here (as I have no scanner, LOL!) to compare those print-outs...

I think it just means that both pitch sections are general admission, but the gates are different.

Here is what it says:

I'm sure it's FOS, don't know how they will handle the entrance...


Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

Oh, yes, that should be.

[There'll be no wedding today...]

this whole Barca situation is doing my head in

is there anywhere on ServiCaixa's website that gives us non-Spanish folks the lowdown on how we get our tickets ?

or are we all relying on word of mouth ?

it could be a disaster (

I think we need help. HELP!!! Someone?

I have the same confirmation. And friends of mine as well. EUR 81.00 are FOS Tickets. There was a map/plan at time of booking. The Entrance will be "General". I guess... and then we have to "climb" into Front of Stage Area.
