The thread for the ticketless who would like help in the resale

[defrio29]

I'm available to help. Not really a regular but I've made several posts here. Got a good record with coach tickets including in the resales from previous years. 

If you trust me enough PM me ur details and I'll help you out tonight.

From my memory the last place to sell out last year was Taunton. Which is also the closest departure point to the site & shortest bus ride 

thanks! Could we theoretically get to Taunton by car, hop on the bus to Glasto, take a train/bus ride back to Taunton and drive the car (with our stuff) to the festival site?

[zico martin]

whats the split between coach tickets and standard resale tickets do you think?  I'm getting very fidgety with all this talk of buy tickets today as I need to wait until Wednesday to try

[cartonio]

Still wondering if I'll be able to choose the timetable from/to bristol tonite. Got no problems for wednesday, cause we're coming from italy on tuesday. But I need to leave the festival on monday morning not later than 8am. 

Do you guys know if I can just buy the wednesday coach from bristol to glasto and then arrange the trip back with nat express? Tx

Yup, I'm going to 

[muffpuffin]

If anyone wants me to try for tickets tonight or Sunday then PM me. My understanding is that the coach tickets are limited to two per booking and up to four tickets on Sundays sale. 

Of course, there are no guarantees I will get onto the page, but I have a fairly good track record, and I have been a member of this forum since 2008 and been to every  Glasto since 1997.

You can get on earlier coaches they don't check tickets on the way out. Or a shuttle / train would be fairly easy.

If you have a plane to catch I wouldn't leave it until 8am to leave. It can get very busy at every point of the journey from the busses & train station to the roads & traffic around the site

Not really sure which thread to put this in, but I just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck with coach tickets tonight. Positive thinking will get you there!

tx, that sounds interesting. anyway, in all previous years we've been fine with the 8am coach (plane leaves bristol at 12.10). guess I'll go with the one way coach

I misread this earlier, sorry I was fixing a gate, we are leaving our cars in Taunton & just getting them Monday. Way easier

In 2013 I had to be in Gatwick for 8pm  on Monday night. Thought leaving Glasto at 8am was fine until I saw the chaos in the coach car park. Hopped on a nat express to Bristol train station and got the train to London. Would've missed the flight otherwise.

I am half tempted to try for coach tickets tonight, but the thought of getting lumped on a late bus travelling all of the way from Newcastle is putting me off. With National Express I would be getting there for 3.50pm, which is late enough. Would be taking a hell of a risk of possibly getting down late at night if I go with See.

Good luck tonight everyone 

[zico martin]

no. leave some tickets for us on Sunday!

now you're scaring me! 

in the past sometimes we took a taxi back to the airport on monday morning and other times we took the national express. we always left not later than 8am and were on time for the plane that leaves bristol airport at 12.10. does the coach has become more chaotic?

I thinking now that the best solution is to take the seetickets coach on wednesday and then arrange a national express on monday morning at 7am. what do u think?

Yeah it was nuts. I asked at the ticket desk and they said we could be waiting 4-5 hours. Basically, our coach (that we had already booked there and back) was delayed by 4-5 hours. Thousands in the queues hopping on any bus that was going in their general direction. 

Take the hit and pay for a NE yeah. You'll get to Bristol very quickly that way.
