pictureoftomorrow Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I was lucky enough to get ticket in the coach ticket sale (just). I'm going from Bath. I wasn't able to choose the time of the coach, it was sold simply as Wednesday coach. Has anyone done this before? When did you find out what coach you were on? Did you have any say in which one you went on? There was minimal info in the confirmation email so any info you can provide will be appreciated - I don't like not knowing!

Lycra Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 From memory there is no choice, you are allocated to a coach with a specified pick-up point and departure time. This was notified by email in May after the balance payments and resales had taken place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL1ND T1G3R Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Correct. I went from Taunton in 2017 and didn’t get a time slot when booking. Eventually got a time emailed to me (possibly May). It was the 14:00 coach I think which I was gutted about at the time, however when we got to Ped Gate A it was empty so it was all good in the end ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscore Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know the range of times the bus departs from Bristol? (ie what happened in 2017). In particular, what time is the latest? It'd be a bit frustrating to have to wait all day if you get allocated a late one (or can you choose times when you depart from Bristol?)

incident Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 For Bristol, you'll have already chosen times when you booked - they should be in the confirmation e-mail sent to the lead booker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I went was from Liverpool on the 6am bus and if memory serves we rocked up around 2pm. Depends on the driver and traffic as they stop for a break for about 45 mins on the way. If its conditions like 2016 it could be much much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody on my nephew & Nieces coach from Liverpool got booted off in 2016. Got told the drivers hours were up. They walked about 5 miles to the site. In situations like that the drivers are allowed to go over their hours so he just had them all off. We drove very slowly past him and I said "Thats our James & Lily" He managed to put some stuff in our car to lighten his load. Hope I get a 6am one this year. 9am one normally has us at Glastonbury between 4 & 5 with a 45 min break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting at home, watching people arrive via Twitter, all the excitement of tents going up, the sun shining like a demon, photos of drinks being opened. Meanwhile I was sat at home watching the clock tick, very, very slowly. *At least I didn't have to queue in the sun, no sunstroke for me, a hero taking my tent in and setting it up for me. Plus, of course, at least I had a ticket. Imagine going through that and not knowing you'd be in amongst it by the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have people setting up base camp for me so fingers crossed for a decent coach time. I have said if we ever get a year with no ticket then I am going away with the missus to ibiza for a weekend to cushion the blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
