We got 04:30 return. If you don't mind me asking what time there did you get?

13:30 - assume it's only a 90 minute journey or so? What did you get? We're coming down to Southampton from London/Colchester, so it's a good time for us as it means we can get a bit of sleep the night/morning before and then being fresh for when we arrive on site. Last two festivals saw us getting 2/3 hours kip in 2015 before a 6am London trip, and last year we got a 2am National Express coach and arrived on site around noon. Fingers crossed this year is the end of sleep deprivation Wednesday - I'd take an afternoon arrival if it means being well rested and ready to go, was dead on my feet in the Rum Shack at midnight last year on the Wednesday, and by Friday I was almost asleep standing up after Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

Let me just get this right, it should be on the normal tracker page when you enter booking reference and postcode/number/card number?

Thanks

10:00am. Three of us are coming from Glasgow but my brother and his girlfriend live in Bournemouth so that's why we choose there. We arrived afternoon in 2014 and apart from the lack of camping options it was good as were refreshed and after didn't feel like we missed too much.

Yes I think so, follow this link:

https://www.seetickets.com/customerservice/?aff=efestivals&aff=efestivals&aff=efestivals

then enter the deposit reference number (not the balance one) and enter either the phone number or last 4 digits of the payment card for the lead booker.

Ah right, I got mine in the resale so I've only for the one reference number. That might be why!

7:00AM there and 8:30AM back to Leeds... 
Pretty sweet considering last year we didn't get in until 3am on the weds night.. 

Added bonus, won't have to get the coach back on the Monday as la Madre lives in the South West so she'll pick us up on the Monday instead, haaaaaappy days

Hey coach buddy. I have the same times. Lucky you avoiding the Monday morning pain!

[jparx]

6:15 from Bath! Tremendous news. I was dreading being allocated to a later coach on the Thursday. At least now we'll be there and set up by 10am (hopefully). 

[frazzlee]

From Truro we've got 07:30 there and the dreaded 06:00 on the way back! has been the same times for a couple of years now.

Looks like I'm at the front so have to be on best behaviour. Did you get lucky with a backseat?

You'll have to save it until you get the to festival. 36-37 so we'll be all good it seems! 

[Grinding aftertaste]

Can't see my Manchester times. Might be being thick / blind...has everyone else got theirs? I got our tickets in the resale but wouldn't have thought that would make any difference?

My Colchester -> Southampton detour seems a lot better than yours! Are you heading back on the Southampton coach on the Monday, or gonna chance hopping on a Glasgow one?

Are you sure you don't want to swap and sit behind the driver?

Same here. Had this time the last two years. Two years ago we flew in and with the separate queue were in and basically set up by about 9am. Obviously last year was different, but hoping that was a one off.

We booked accommodation and travel from Southampton so will just do that. Might try to get later time on NE or train though.

Hahaha, maybe the driver's going to be really good company, could be the best seats on the coach, y'never know. 

[Cieran]

Anyone manage to get theirs that got their ticket in the coach resale? 

[CraigMc]

Got all excited, logged on the order tracker on see tickets but no coach details I can see.

Travelling from Liverpool - looks like others have had coach times from Liverpool already, am I looking in the wrong place, seems a bit strange some would have times but not others?

Hope the coach out is not 12:00 like somebody else has posted, was 6am last time, we were all half cut by half 7.

As long as he lets us crack open the ciders I'm happy. Will see you in the queue.

I looked at the posts from last year and I got my resale time three days after the first person posted their times. May just be a coincidence though or maybe I didn't notice that they were up. I'd just keep checking every so often.
