Madyaker Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 To people saying they’ll only try on Sunday, why?! If you want to go surely getting a coach ticket is better than getting no ticket ? Two attempts doubles your chances of bagging a ticket, seems mad to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalopsia Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 It's getting closer and closer and I'm in two minds about whether to book my dream holiday or try for Glastonbury tickets I'm normally sorted by now with no worries and looking forward to it I can't get excited well actually I won't let myself get too excited....I simply cannot decide.

If no children were involved I definitely would try for coach tickets first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakey91 Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I'm only trying for general, not the coach sale. Simple reason is I'm on a fairly tight budget being that I am going on holiday a week after Glastonbury. Can't take many beers on the coach so that would result in me spending a small fortune at the bars. Otherwise, I'd have nothing against taking the coach.

I've been lucky 3 times in the coach sale and worried about the logistics of it afterwards. In 2013 my friend got a lift from Devon by car early on the Wednesday, drove past the Glastonbury junction, carried on up the M5, picked up the coach in Stoke then drove all the way back to Glastonbury. She was "desperate" for a ticket and got there by any means necessary. I'm sure there are tales where people have gone to even more extreme measures to catch the coach and I guess it goes against the whole ethos of why the coach is an option but needs must if you really wanna get there. If you live in London, why not consider a coach ticket anywhere along the M4? Reading, Swindon, Bristol? Get a ticket this Thursday and you'll have just under 9 weeks to plan the rest...

Still it's their choice and it's not like it will haunt them every day until the end of June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCor Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 3 hours ago, ConorC said: Question: Not sure exactly where I've read this, maybe I've just imagined it - but do tickets HAVE to be paid for through a credit card, or are debit cards OK too? Pretty sure we've paid through debit card before but having doubts now. Don't wanna get through then the system won't accept our card. I've always used my debit card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Music Girl Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I do understand why people with kids might not want to get the coach, but the fear of missing out entirely on the Sunday would definitely make me try Thursday. The first year they did the coach sale (for 2014) I decided to sack it off and just do the main sale. Helped a mate get a coach ticket on the Thursday, thinking I'd be fine on the Sunday. Needless to say I wasn't and had to wait for the coach resale to get myself sorted! Was kicking myself. Good luck all! Helping a few people here as we are sorted this year (all four of us) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuwarr Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 The one time I did try the resale I was lucky enough to get both the location and time I wanted (Weds, London - 5am!) and it felt easier than any other time I've tried. Can't guarantee it will happen again though but I do know its possible..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawros Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hi all, I'm trying for one friend, who've I've popped on the spreadsheet. We're trying for coach from London, so adding him on here, we'll also try for the extra available seat, then again on Sunday. Everything crossed this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameski18 Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Hello, I hope everyone had an awesome bank holiday. The hanging dread is back today so I've come back here for some moral support and I'm loving all the positive posts already!! Trying for 2 tickets on Thursday/Sunday!

Chrisp1986 Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 How much is the coach with ticket in general? Would be from Leeds Manchester area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawros Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Refresh me - how's it going to work with the spreadsheet. Would make sense if we grouped everyone up in 2's for the coach, then the remaining into 4's for the Sunday sale. Apols if this has been covered recently, couldn't find.

lbessick Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hello all! Comforting to see there are people that are equally as panicked as me! I've added my name to the spreadsheet and if by some miracle me/my friends secure our tickets quickly I'm more than happy to help others. Good luck everyone ??

Manchester coach is £70 rtn and Leeds is £72, so around £320 all in, pretty sure if i get Bham rtn my total price will be £303 all in and Bham coach is £50, so add £20 for manc £323.. well thats enough maths for the day Man im nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I do the incredibly unpopular thing of getting a coach to the fest on the Thursday lunchtime. Still failed in the original coach sale though. Thought I would be at the front of the queue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunabella Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 How does the coach resale work? Are you given a list of all the places where seats are still available, or is it just a lucky dip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
