Coach/train home options

[Binge]

Hi everyone. Long time reader, first time poster here but now that I'm in the Glasto 2022 is 100% happening mindset, I need to ask some advice about what to do for this year's festival.

I managed to get coach tickets for my group of 6 but in the panic of getting through the holding page, booked single coach tickets for us all. So we currently have transport to the festival but no means of getting back. 

What would people advise regarding getting back on the Monday? On the National Express website I'm only seeing single coach tickets to the festival or return tickets. Do they sell single tickets back to London or is the train a better option for us here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My first port of call would be See Tickets and ask if they could sell/upgrade you to a return ticket, and if that fails speak to NE to see if they would sell you a single ticket back to London

Or get up early as anything on the Monday, and catch the first train back to London...I say early as you first need to get a shuttle bus off site then queue to get into the train station.

I have heard stories of people getting on See ticket coaches back without tickets as some people don't turn up for them so you could risk that but if it was me I would prefer to know how I'm getting home before I get to the festival!

National Express do sell Single tickets. Just go to their main page (not the Glastonbury page) and you can book there.

Personally wouldn't bother with See, as they won't change a booking under normal circumstances.

I was going to suggest this as it's free and I reckon it would work, but it's a risky strategy. 

You could post here to look for a lift share but your group of six would obviously need to split.

I was indeed looking at the Glasto event page on NE, doh.

Thanks all for the info!
