Ticket Sale Date

[Sasperella]

What's everyone approaches to coaches?

Do you opt for Wednesday coaches and stick with it? Or if there are only Thursday tickets left, do you nab one.... Even thought you might be able to get a general entry in the main sale?

[pahqman]

My approach : get in any way you can

 

Don't waste a sure thing for a chance later

What if the Thursday coach comes from Glasgow and you thus may not arrive until 7pm Thursday ...?

I might just try and contact seetickrts and check those timings!

Did that myself, a few images of 2016 mud opened eyes. More concerning for folk travelling from afar was the traffic problems. Didn’t bother me, all part of the great adventure that is Glastonbury. The tv images of the last two festivals really havnt helped put folk off! Idyllic conditions, big pop acts seem to have attracted a lot of interest.

You won't have much luck on Wednesday morning!

Well thank god for that.

First attempt click Wednesday and take any departure I can. No matter where it is.

Second attempt I’d go straight to Thursday with no regrets. Getting in is all that matters.

[Stokesy10]

You can choose where you travel from on a coach, right? Either I'm being thick or I've read totally conflicting answers over time.

 

Considering coach for the first time in 6 Glasto's. No idea what the crack is. 

[March Hare]

Once you are through you can scroll down departure locations and times. Each one has a drop down box where you select number of tickets/departures you want. That part is a bit of a scramble 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yep there is no way you can buy a coach ticket without choosing the day and the location. The times (unless it's Bristol or London) are a lucky dip.

It's more stressful than the main sale because of the extra steps and there being less tickets. But the feeling of being sorted before Sunday is so worth it.

Feeling pretty defeatist at the moment. Reckon this year is the one my luck ends...

First time I went I took a Thursday Ticket as having never been before, getting inside was my main priority.

Now  days though, I need to wake up inside in Thursday morning. Don't really care about what time on Wednesday.

Who knows what I'll do if I see Thursday tickets as my only option. Might grab them as I have fears the main sale will be the biggest bloodbath ever this year. I have already accepted the 7 stages of grief as in my mind, with how much I've heard non-festival people talk high interest in attending this year, there is no way I'll get through.

I was checking out an old Firefox browser on my homepage and found a booking complete link from 2017. So I thought I'd copy and post it. It leads to a session timed out page.

This was the last Glastonbury ticket I bought. I had Virgin Media internet, then. I think that's better than the Talk Talk internet, that I have at the moment.But I suppose they all change in their capabilities, so you never really know.

I feel like that too. I'm usually pretty lucky with tickets but I feel like this is it.

In a way I always say, it's a different festival if you can't get a ticket for it. There's something about a festival everyone can get a ticket for, that seems to make it a more genuine article, festival wise, somehow.

I always formulate a plan about whether or not I will try for Thursday (think I would this year) but when it comes down to the moment I find it rarely factors. As in by the time I've found out Wednesday has gone, Thursday has too. The whole thing is over with so quickly it's not like you have time to go "oh Wednesday is done, now I'll just cruise through to Thursday". Most of the time you are just refreshing. 

I've only ever been on a Wednesday, but I don't think I'd be as devastated as I would have used to be to go Thursday. It would certainly improve my stamina throughout the rest of the festival. The only thing that really bugs me is that it costs the same.

Hey all - is it allowed on here to arrange to team up with people to get tickets?  I want to get for my wife and I for next year, but am a bit scarred after missing out on tickets this year for the first time in 12 attempts!  Would be good if we could all maximise chances by making sure we are all in teams of 6 trying for tickets

Over the past year, I've seriously considered Thursday as a preferred option. This change of preference was mainly due to me considering going to Creamfields on a standard 2 day ticket, to avoid all the riff raff. What I find really off putting is the lack of reduction in ticket price. I don't know why Glastonbury charge the same as Wednesday tickets. Other festivals are at least £20 cheaper.

Yeh every other year I've definitely not wanted a Thursday entry, feeling like it was worth the risk to wait for the main sale. This year I'm so scared about getting tickets that I might end up going for it if it's there....

Having said that, last year I decided beforehand "definitely no Thursday tickets" yet in the heat of the moment when my friend had got through and Wednesday had gone, I changed my mind pretty quick...

In the end though, like @Zoo Music Girl says, by the time we had time to click, Thursday had also gone and we ended up getting standard tickets anyway

I just had to buy internet for my new house. Ended up getting it with EE, the fiber optic plus option purely for Glastonbury tickets (and yes, I did explicitly tell the guy in the shop I needed whatever speed would work best for that). No idea if EE is good or not though, and now your post has freaked me out! 

But then as T-Day approaches basically everything starts freaking me out

[jonnyisRFC]

Just secured tickets for green day on the Friday of glasto (obviously I’ll sell if I’m lucky enough to get Glastonbury tickets) but I feel like I’ve pissed the glasto gods off.
