Buy tickets online or wait till I get to Ibiza?

[Recardo]

If i remember rightly, when you order the tickets online for cocoon at amnesia you have access to the vip area.
I hope this is also this year, then these are the only tickets we will order beforehand.

Otherwise we act spontaneously with ticket buy on the island, but mostly at Tantra Bar in PdB near Space.

So...which is the best way to go, buy online or at the bars In Ibiza???

I always buy tickets the night of the event I am going to. I have met up with people or hear of a slaming nite and switch gears. I go to Bora Bora alot and PR people come in and offer free tickets prob the same at cafe del mar. I don't knock buying online I just like the flex of last minute buying. I don't know about the west end but there are bars were you can get discount tickets if you go early to major clubs before 1 am in most cases. cheers

this was 2005.

since 2006 no "vip"-access with cocoononlinetickets included.

but its no big problem to enter the "vip"area (= going upstairs).
only entering the different "super vip"areas within the "main-vip-area"
might be a problem without reservation or knowing some people there.

i have to admit that i spent most time (especially cocoonopening/closing) upstairs, because "downstairs" at a certain point/time its no fun anymore,
because its way to overcrowded.

i'm really debating buying tickets online for the radio 1 essential mix party @ amnesia

when on the island if theres over 4 of you buying at the same time (bulk buy) you can usually get a discount - 4 people = 5€ discount per tciket - always ask for a diso**** if theres 3/4+ of you. not sure if its a €5 discount per 4 buying?

its easier buying tickets from bars onn the island, espech as you sometimes get free coaches to the club. - or for a extra 2-3€

[DonkeyPunch]

I'd buy tickets online for the nights you know are definite.

Anything else then purchase from a bar and try and get a discount or freebie if you have a group of 4+

[Mayak]

Just came back. I didn't buy anything in advance and it was right because my wife refused to go to some parties afer arrival plus I found some more cheaper proposals like invintations in shops which were 5e cheper than tikets.

[well_show_u_how_its_done]

buy it there, girls always back out of things + dodgy clubs like PACHA will rip you off and make you pay twice like they did to me

[The Codester]

Stupid question, but how much do online tickets cost for regular (non-opening/closing) nights?

[dominik.justbe]

what do u pay for we love.. or cocoon tickets on the island? we love.. should be cheaper this year because it starts later?

Buy online to get in quicker and deffo cheaper, not buy much but still the 8€ or 10€ you save buying online buy an extra drink inside the club wiv ya savings. ibiza is a tactical playground, were u save in 1 place you'll need to spend in the other coz it is stupid prices for drinks.

... are you sure, I've read lots on various sites (this on included) about promotors cutting prices & offering deals... since it's quieter out there this year.

[james]

if any promoters cut their prices, we refund anyone who has already bought. e.g. manumission has dropped prices by 15 euros yesterday for the next 3 weeks - we refunded ALL ticket purchasers the difference - we always play fair and only ever sell at the official prices.

something a lot of you seem to forget: internet holders go in through the guestlist

you ought to see the normal queue for nights like cream, tiesto, we love, etc - buy online and save yourself the waiting

internet tickets are also unrestricted entry tickets. you can get in the club whenever you like, 1 am , 3 am or even 4 am - up to you. some of the deals you see on the island involve entry before a certain time - normally 1.30 - most clubs are pretty lonesome at 1.30

wherever you buy, the main thing is you enjoy!

and anyone who does buy online through spotlight, helps support these forums - which can't be a bad thing

Who in there right mind would go at 4am?.... 40 odd euro's to dance for a couple of hours... that's just silly.

I think I will be able to get tickets much cheaper than this site

[CheekyChicken]

When you buy tickets online do you receive them in the post or collect in Ibiza?

[dan_in_ibiza]

Hiya,

When you order tickets online, you receive a confirmation email which is essentially your ticket. You need to print out this email and bring it to the bring with you.

At the same time, the club are sent your details so when you go to the door on the night, your name will be on the list. Remember to bring your confirmation email with you as proof.

Hope that helps !

Thank you kindly, I'll take this back to the board - I think buying tickets for We Love Space is a good move, but they seem to be under the impression that they will be cheaper to geta hold off in Ibiza... they haven't witnessed my powers of persuasion yet

[chris84a]

We got back this morning, I had struggled with this question myself, to buy before hand or not?

Answer: don't bother. We went to space at 5.30pm and got in for €15, we got into Wonderland for €35, Tiesto for €45, Carl Cox, went at 8.30 and got in for €10. All much cheaper than buying in advance.

My best piece of advice, hunt down tickets for the Zoo Project on the Saturday, about €25, best night of the holiday. drinks were cheap and the atmosphere was amazing.

post holiday blues have well and truly set in!

[dede011]

hi all was woundering how long it takes for tic's to arive if a buy them online heading over in three weeks for the closing partys and there a a few nights i would like to have tic's sorted for????????

[Granthamgr]

Where can i buy the tickets for Cocoon, Dc-10 and We love space sunday closing parties on the 28th n 29th September on the island? Could Someone give me a name of a bar or something please!

[james]

tickets arrive immediately you print them off after buying them. so you can buy them whenever you like.

cocoon closing is now on sale from the party calendar

[james]

just in answer to chris:

cheaper tickets have a deadline - in the club early. this means you are paying club price drinks for a very long time. an online ticket gives you the freedom to go when you like.

cheers

So is it easier and safer to get tickets online than pay at the door? will you save money too?

Its definitely safe and easy. Just make sure you definitely want to go to the nights you buy tickets for. I bought loads of online tickets last summer and only ended up going to about half of the shows because of other parties that sort of spontaneously caught my attention. In that sense its a good idea to keep your options open by buying tickets for the shows you know you're definitely going to.
