resale coach is 2

i've seen about 5 people on here say main sale coach used to be 4. someone needs to go on the wayback machine and settle this once and for all!

that's what i thought too! 4 in main sale and 2 in resale, so weird that we've all got this collective amnesia

@golden egg Maybe WHEN you are through, try with the old post code, if error with the new?

I am GUESSING you could still contact SEE after to get that changed, although not sure how you'd prove it's you without the email address? See doesn't do to bad in terms of that support from personal experience...

Cheers, that’s what I was thinking. The tickets were delivered to my new address this year.. is it possible I changed the delivery address when I paid the balance last year? I can’t remember.. and would inputting  the wrong postcode block my registration for 10 mins like mentioned upthread?

Yes, you do need to enter a name and address that matches the one for the credit/debit card you're paying with, definitely, or else the payment will fail

The card owner doesn’t have to be a ticket buyer though! I’ve not got a ticket for myself but paid for others previously.

Yep totally, sorry didn't make that clear, yes I've done that also

I'm guessing not, that would mean no one's allowed a typo?

So the lead booker doesn't have to be the payee?

nope. accidentally put my +1 as lead booker last time but paid with my card. No issues.

Yes indeed - I've bought tickets for my kids and their mates, didn't include me in the list of registrations/postcodes at all (and, amazingly, they paid me back!) 😄

No… I’ve paid for others before and they’ve paid me back.

OK thanks.

This saves a lot of hassle passing bank details back and forth.

So if buying for someone else and the Billing/Delivery screen pre-populates with Lead Booker address we need to change that to cardholder address?

This all seems to be different from 2019 sale when payment screen did not need a 'Billing Address'..... https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/full-2020-ticket-info/

Some of us in our group have decided to try for coach but the majority still going in the general sale.

Obviously want to get tickets but will be quite conflicted if we get through today and the rest don't!

Setup ready … good luck all ..

Yes it is a bit confusing isn't it? If it's asking for a Billing Address then that *has* to be the one registered to the payment card, surely. Usually that would also be the lead booker and hence also the 'delivery address', but as we know all the tickets (if this is general admission, not coach) go to each of the individuals, not the lead booker, anyway. Plus, anyone can change where their ticket is delivered to by going on See's customer service page. So maybe the fact that it calls this 'delivery' is a bit misleading and doesn't mean anything?

I don't think there's a real address registered to my credit card!? 

And everybody writes addresses differently, that's impossible to check.

I've read through a good chunk of this post. Can someone clarify the Glasgow/Edinburgh coach situation? A lot of post suggest that there's only Wednesday coach packages (leaving Tuesday night). Is this true or will there be Thursday packages (leaving Wednesday night) available?

Final question, do they take AMEX? I can't find any concrete yes or no.

Still haven't decided if I'm going to try for a ticket alone after failing to convince any of my friends to go. Will see how I feel at 5 to 6.

Doesn't matter too much how it's written.

If they're using AVS, only the first line and the postcode are actually (able to be) verified, the rest is for records only.

It says several times on the site, Visa and Mastercard only.

I have been on my own to around 4 of the 12 Galstonbury's I've been to and I prefer it tbh. No arguments about what to see/waiting around for others to show up - take it at my own pace and enjoy it. Most people are generally friendly enough to talk to and I would recommend it!

Ah..that would be why the screen only has Line 1, City and Postcode as mandatories then.

I don't know about the coaches for sure but they don't take Amex, at least they haven't before.

Thanks for the non-arsey response.
