Erm, wonder if they'll use Digbeth by the coach station.. I take it you asked See? Just got a response that it is from the same place (town hall) as previous years.....I've asked them to check again due to the works as I doubt that will complete in time....now worried they're going to make a mess of this!

Reason I'm asking is that I can only find my reference from when I paid the balance in April and not when I paid the deposit and it doesn't show any coach details at all when I use that reference number. It only confirms that I paid the balance of £183.00 queried this with See, got this response: Coach e-tickets will be sent out no later than 30 days prior to the festival date. So they must be imminent.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danatlive Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 An the 12oclock noon coach on Wednesday from liverpool! Shockingly late as I usually leave around 2am Wed morning by own means of transport. Does anybody have any idea what time the 12pm coach from Liverpool should arrive at Glasto?

Last year there was a shuttle service from the coach station, though that seemed to take about as long. Thanks - lucky I'll be well rested from sitting down for a few hours then :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stardustjunkie Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 If we're supposed to get this information 30 days before the festival then they've only got about 3 days left to send it to us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General rule of thumb: one hiking rucksack and one tent per person. People always take the piss which usually means everything is delayed because it doesn't all fit in the hold (from my experience any way!).

Chris Lfc Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 How exactly do you get the E-Ticket? It says that it's suppose to be the email as proof? Don't you normally get something to print out or am i missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've usually travelled on the national express one and I've never known them to turn any bags away. Not sure about Seecoaches, though. We usually take a rucksack each, 1 tent and a camping chair each so I guess we're relatively light travellers compared to some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbizarre Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 So are the eTickets expected today for Wednesday departure to fulfill 30 day prior promise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've just emailed seetickets again pointing out that we were promised them by now (OK strictly speaking as I don't go til Thursday, it's tomorrow!). I need to know where the Birmingham coach is going from - I don't know Birmingham very well and want to know for sure that I won't get lost trying to find where I'm going! Also does anyone know how far in advance of departure time it's recommended you get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier the better to avoid any unforeseen issues getting to the coach, plus time to wait for the coach to wave you over. The busier departure points (I assume Birmingham is such one) may have more than one coach leave at the same time, so there is holding points for each coaches travellers. You just dump your bag, sit on it, chill out and wait for you to be instructed to load your stuff onto the coach. Coaches generally leave when they are meant to- give or take a few minutes.

If I'm honest, I don't really need to know but I want to know. I should have plenty of time to make the connection between my train getting into New Street and finding the coach station i.e. over an hour, but I'd just like to know where I'm headed! I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to planning these things! Ok, more than a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
