When are coach tickets given out?

[CeriG]

So we are going down by coach but staying in friends in CV.

We were thinking of getting them to follow us down and when we stop half way we could then get in with them?

Depends entirely on the driver's mood

Yep spot on.

 

I have had them before the coach has actually left and I have also had them half way down there.

What about all of your stuff?

[CeriG]

Do they ever give them out when you get to the site after the whole journey?

Never heard of that. Worst case scenario is they give them out after your break at the services so your on for the whole trip.

It might make the driver suspicious if you get on without any stuff!

Also, if you don't get back on after stopping at the services, people might waste time waiting for you or looking for you before the coach journey continues.

We have 4 other friends on coach that would tell them we aren't going back on.

Hmmmm, maybe its best to not over complicate and meet them on site.

Ps... just realised I posted this in chat and not questions.... apologies.

we got ours before got on the coach last year but can't speak for everyone. He handed them out at the door to the coach as everyone got on

Don't get coach tickets if you don't want to go by coach. The whole point of doing them is for green travel, really irks me that people go for tickets and in doing so agree to travel by that coach yet then try to renege on it later.

I could understand if we were going to travel in another car but we are on about getting in a friends camper that will ALREADY be travelling down. 

We haven't a problem travelling by coach, its for the people we are staying with to save having to meet us at CV to gain entry.

You can just walk into the CV fields if memory serves me right. We camped with friends who came down in campers in the CV fields one year.

ah right.... I thought they would have to meet us at the entrance.... so we can just walk in? will we need a copy of the booking confirmation?
