Anyone any experience of Swindon coach? Got Weds coach tickets in resale so would like to know where it goes from and likely departure time(s)?

Have a look at the Decathlon Arpenez 4.1. That’s what I’ve just ordered - 4 man with blackout bedroom and big porch. Saw it in store a while ago - seems ideal and not bad at £199. It was time to upgrade our old tent that was not blackout and not waterproof any more. Served us well for many festivals though.

Still buzzing from getting coach tickets on Thursday. Decided it is time to join the F&B club as no one seems to have a bad word to say about them and we struggled with the heat last year in our old faithful Glasto tent. Gone for the 4.1 with poles so decent porch too.

Great dedication to the cause. Made me think and I have now typed a few groups into my phone as short codes in case I get through on that! Seconds saved could be the difference 🤞

Don’t ask me - CaledonianGonzo started it so I edited my post as well!

To be fair their whole act has them acting like a spaniel on speed barking (mild)insults at some in the crowd for effect. I guess the truth is they have offended people in this case but getting cancelled and being labelled antisemitic for it is going too far. Lots (most) of us can’t see Israel’s reaction to the Hamas attacks as being reasonable and proportionate - but that is not antisemitism despite efforts from some to label it as that

What - no panda hands 😢 This does seem like an extreme over reaction to Paul’s valid views.

The resale thread had 4 successes out of 11 groups. Those 4 were all in the first 6 mins. The sale went on for 18 mins but it may have been very slim pickings or just the odd single tickets for the second half of that I’m guessing.

I’ll be trying for you - you deserve to get in!

I’m in! Weds coach from Swindon. Never been to Swindon - I bet it’s nice!

I've only seen the group on this thread, which I am sadly part of. There were loads last year weren't there? 4 or 5 - I was helping for one but got nowhere. Hoping fewer groups this time means there is less people trying in the resale and it ups our chances, but I am still nervous as!!

Not much space between tents for fires these days is there? You can head to Stone Circle for fires, they seem a fun bunch - they have balloons too 🤪

Thanks for the offers of help. I have messaged links. If anyone else would like to help let me know - Thank You!!!!

If any of you lucky ticket holders are able to help out your desperate ticketless efest mates by trying for resale tickets please send me a message and I can send you links to the spreadsheet @MatthewTurner has put together for this group. there is a WhatsApp group too so include your phone no in the message or I will try and include WhatsApp invite links when I message you the spreadsheet link. It might be in the morning before I can reply as I am being dragged to see Take That tonight, but your help would be amazing and I am sure there will be drinks and hugs in the fields if you help us get tickets. Coach Sale or general sale or both - all help is appreciated. Thanks x

Any helpers would be massively appreciated, I am in the coach resale group (along with my Glasto buddy). I'll check what arrangements are for sharing the spreadsheet. Payment would ideally be made if you get through to keep it speedy. I would then refund anyone that bought for me immediately I have proof of purchase. The confirmation email comes through very quickly so them means the repayment would be made almost immediately. I will also be buying drinks on the farm for anyone that gets through for me. I understand some would be nervous about paying for strangers so an alternative would be to call for payment details if you get through, but that also relies on trust and takes time during which tickets may sell out, but whatever works is good! I can provide some ID and have been on here for years although not a prolific poster.
