It doesn't work that way, you won't get fucked. First of all if you're chilling on the beach, promoters will hook you up with discount bracelets. Secondly, you can buy tickets at just about any bar on the island. No point in buying tickets early. I did it the first year I went, and didn't even worry about it the second time. Once you're there you'll see what I'm talking about.

Originally posted by Neo95gt Yeah, I'll prob be ready after the first night, lol

I went for 4 nights my first year and 7 my second. Next time I'm going for 5.

Just try to get out and see the island, it's not all just clubs and drugs. Last summer my wife and I spent a day scuba diving, and a day just driving around the island. There's plenty of cool shit to do.

Those are actually the ones you get the biggest discounts to. Those parties probably have the most people out promoting them. Just sit on the beach and you'll get a bracelet. If not head into a bar and get a ticket. Think about it, those are the two biggest clubs that pack the most people. Do you think a little discount is going to hurt the bottom line?

It's Ibiza, I don't think "capacity" is in the vocabulary.

Believe me, I know what it means to be apprehensive about going over there, but tickets to clubs is something you don't need to worry about.

yea i guess. i mean ive been reading this same info in other places and have been talking to some friends who have been 3 or 4 times. and they looked at me like i was crazy when i said i wanted to buy online tickets. so i know theres something to it all. its just REALLY hard for me to not buy tickets since i ALWAYS buy presales EVERY time i go out. shit, in miami you have to. but obviously, ibiza is not miami.

I bought pre-sales for a party online my first year, and it took 3 or 4 bouncers to figure out what they were looking at. They were like WTF is this? It's really really easy to go to the parties you want to go to. Just show up and you'll get in.

Yeah that's the plan. A few days do something other than go balls to the wall. Any suggestions on good places to eat, beaches to go to, other things to do like snorkle or something?

Originally posted by PatMcGroin couple simple questions from an ibiza noob... 1. i know the clubs dont really id heavily and i am 26 so its not a big deal, but in regards to bringing an id with me, will my florida id be accepted if they do ask me for it, or do i need to bring something more official like my passport? 2. whats the deal with cameras inside the clubs? allowed? not allowed?

Florida ID is good try to have ID on you at all times being from the US kinda helps you.

Cameras are ok everywhere I have gone except Privilage and Space but my friend as a TA you get to learn some tricks today on getting your camera into any club you like and once its in nobody will ask you for anything.

Tale 2 cameras with you one can even be a fake one lol as long as it looks and feels real place the decoy in your pockets and place the actual one in your socks walk up the guy will search you and find the one in your pocket then he will say OK go check that in in he wont look for 2 cameras so you go and check it in show him the slip and walk right in with the real one in your socks..... I have done this many times.

7 days is perfect but don't over due it. pick 2 of the nights just to chill and not go clubbing maybe a bar but that's it so you can get long sleep then try them many different things to do on the island like go to Formentera for the day trust me you will love it...Also try Salinas beach just relax and see what the culture is about.

Tickets are least of your concern but there are some rare exceptions for example when I was there in 2007 Tiesto was doing a special 2 night show there and that show sold out so I was lucky I bought before hand but regular clubs will never sell out. Try the pussycat in San Antonio for tickets its pretty good price there. If you are gonna buy online only only buy from www.ibizaspotlight.com.

The day time discount braclets are BS unless you wanna go to the off events that most people wont go to or Space if you get there at 7pm lol with no in and out.

Let me guess you go for 7 get as trashed as possible 24/7 and on the 8th day forget every single thing you have done......

You have to get some rest and relax too

I don't do coke so going 7 days in a row is not easy.

Oh well that explains it. Anyone can party 7 days sober. Raging 7 days in a row is not easy.

either way its not easy at all

Yea i was done after 4 days of partying hard the first time i went, took it easier my second time. I think most people go overboard the first time there, you live and learn.

It takes a very very very special talent to go to Ibiza for 7 days and not drink or do drugs and party every night.... Are you u a robot????

this is why im doing 2 days then a break day then another 2 days.

oh how my many years of attending wmc have trained me. lol.

I guess that depends on where you're staying. All along Playa den Bossa there are pretty decent restaurants. I don't remember having a bad meal, we usually just cruise until we find something that looks decent. There is a ridiculously good Thai restaurant in Santa Eularia, I think it's called Basil Thai, I'll check my scrap book this evening.

Water sports are available on any beach. Last year, we just bought a couple of blow up floats and drifted around the water. There's good shopping in Ibiza town if you're with a chick, or if you just want to wonder around. Check out Dalt Vila in Ibiza town, it's the big fortress/castle. I hear it's amazing at night, but we never made it.

Rent a car if you can, the island is bigger than you might expect.

Seriously... What is all this talk about taking it easy? I guess everybody's different, but I can't imagine going to Ibiza and not partying it up to the fullest. I mean, am I missing something? I am an Ibiza virgin and will probably be hitting up the closing parties this year. So, all you veterans, fill me in....... What is soo difficult about Ibiza partying? I didn't even think there was 24 hour partying anymore on the Island. Don't the clubs close at 6am? If so, that's not quite a daunting task in my opinion. I know that a lot of people go overboard on the drinking and miscellaneous substances but, even so, isn't there plenty of opportunity to sleep it off on the beach, in the room, etc..? Now, in relation to a previous post, I do consider myself somewhat of a robot when it comes to going out. I can usually keep going as long as there's music playing, and I've pulled countless marathons in my life. Basically what I'd like to know, is:

What sets Ibiza apart in terms of clubbing/partying for an extended period of time? I would like to be in the right mindframe when heading over there and don't want to be too naive in thinking I can party like usual.

Thanx 'all

Do you drink or do drugs? Have you ever raged 7 days in a row? When you drank your face off the night before and wake up twitching with a splitting headache and a dry mouth and you want to die.....hitting up bora bora isnt the first thing that comes to mind. But you gotta dig down deep and make it happen
