Hi all - so I've ended up with a Thursday coach ticket (1 way) for this year (also my first Glasto!)

Ive had a browse on National Express Glasto page but can only seem to find return tickets or singles on the way there

Does anyone know the best way of getting back to ye old London on the Monday? Coach preferable I just cant work out how to book one just for the return journey, any help much appreciated.

You'll be able to book via National Express, but as you're booking one way there is no obvious option. Might it be as it's more than 6 months away and the schedules aren't released? 

You can definitely just book a return though... how come your ticket is one way currently?

As far as I've been told, during the madness of the coach release our group agreed to take anything within a reasonable distance of London just to get something in the bag and ended up with one of us scoring tickets for a coach from Reading at 7am Thursday but only 1 way, assuming they haven't got the wrong end of the stick somehow!

I'm pretty sure all the see coach packages are return?

I thought the same but a few destinations were 1 way only for some strange reason - we got in right at the end of the sale so I think that was the only option left at the time so we went for it

I've done the London Seetickets coach since 2013, including 1 year with a single and they haven't (as yet) checked the tickets for the journey home. The whole thing is a general free for all - you join a general 'London' queue (scrum) and get on the next one that comes in. They just want people out. If anyone does question you, just plead Glasto uselessness and say you lost it.

If this is too stressful to consider then NE have singles for £55 .... don't look on the Glasto page, just enter the details on general booking.

Hope his helps.

I could definitely be described as a 'chancer' so as long as the rest of the group are up for it, free for all scrum sounds good to me! thanks for the info!

Same, my ticket home has barely ever been checked and I have never once got the coach I was supposed to get. Lots of people go home with friends and its a free for all. They just keep piling people on the coaches to get them off site. I'd chance it meself. Especially if you have a seeticket print out.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early.

    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
