Is it confirmed: 14th Madrid and 15th Barca?
Er, I believe that's the running order today.
These things have been known to change in the past though.
Thx, Al. Do you believe it or do you know the order at the moment? So far, I bought both tickets and the flight from Duesseldorf to Madrid for 49 Euros July 13th.

Er, I just know that they're supposed to be at Madrid first, Barca second.
But I also know - from experience - that these things have been switched around in the past.

My Mail to Summercase:
Hola! I'm from Germany. I have bought a ticket for both Festivals, because I want to see New Order. I want to book my flights now, too. Play New Order first in Madrid or first in Barcelona? Buenos Dias

at least £150 notes. i checked it out today. best part of £200 from scouseland. Cant be bothered with that!
if i book now it's around 70 quid return london-madrid. now it's just a matter of getting the tickets!
On Expedia you can get 3 nights in a 4* hotel in Madrid for around £200, flying from Manchester. Not bad if you wanna go to just Madrid and not Barcelona too. Can't imagine internal flights in Spain being that much though either.
When, oh when, will we get confirmation of this...?!
so is there camping at this festival (would probably just do madrid as want to see the other bands) or is it a hotel job?
Me and JG in da house.
Flying Luton->Madrid Thursday evening.
Barca->Luton Sunday evening.
Going with Iberia from Madrid to Barca. skyscanner.net quotes silly prices but cheapest I've got is 45 notes one way. And, be warned, you have to state what ID you're gonna use when booking and also have to know the Number of your ID (ie. passport number if you're using that).
EDIT. Booked the internal flights with Madrid Air now. 42 notes each instead. Woo!
think I'm doing the lightweight version now. Barca only.
Are people getting tickets from the web link?
Just Barca for me as well. Got friends who live near there, so will stay with them for a couple of days either side of the festival.

Unfortunately not - the bastard ticket site doesn't accept international delivery... 
Going to have to phone them up... 
Booked flights, though:
Thursday evening: London --> Madrid (EasyJet) Saturday morning: Madrid --> Barcelona (AirMadrid) Sunday evening : Barcelona --> London (EasyJet)

I want to go from Menorca to Barc; the cheapest I can find so far is £300+ with awful flight times, so it means a 2 nighter; any ideas where I can try and find a better deal?

Have you tried Iberia airways?

I don't think many foreign sites accept international delivery. When I've been to gigs in the US, or Oz, or even Spain last year for Primavera you have to collect your ticket on site. From memory, I think only the Brittany festival from last year sent tickets out abroad?

Werchter did (though I didn't need the facility in the end as Jan got the tickets), and does Oxegen count as being foreign? still got my unused Oxegen ticket, sat forlornly in the corner somewhere.
If I end up doing this - still subject to cost as we've got a gig on the Friday night it will be the Barca one only, then I will be flying out Saturday morning and back Sunday. Can't honestly see it happening for me though. May save my meagre penny pile.
Iberia's £68 + £38 taxes from Gatwick to Barca on the Saturday, returning on the Sunday.

That's probably the going rate. People go to/from Madrid/Barca all year round don't they so unless you go silly days then it's gonna cost. Think my 3 flights added up to maybe 150 notes.
Maybe should have done a bit more homework on this before shopping for flights. No Under 18's allowed. 
Hi boys... Greetings from Barcelona!! Have you tried to buy flights with a new airways co. called Vueling?? I think that you'd got the flight from Madrid to Barcelona. By the time, New Order will play Friday in Madrid and Saturday in Barcelona (Olimpic Stadium) in a sunny place for July. Also try another two spanish companys with domestic flights: AirEuropa and Spanair www.vueling.com www.spanair.com www.aireuropa.com If you need some additional information, please ask me. And see you for some beers before the gig...

Not sure anyone tried vueling but airmadrid definitely worked out cheaper than spanair (which was ridiculously expensive) and aireuropa. Iberia were the next best reasonably priced and did have one ridiculoulsy cheap flight, but that left Madrid at 2000 hrs, or something!
