Coach Tickets - Wed/Thurs Arrival?

[TravSC]

Going for a coach/ticket package in a few months - anyone know the % of people that get Wed vs. Thursday (no Friday I assume).

Would prefer Wed obviously….any cities that is more likely from, tips/tricks, etc.?

Thanks in advance!!

Most coaches will arrive Wednesday - all coaches sell out 100%

London has the most coaches that depart - but I would guess more people try from there. 

 

Apart from that I'm not sure how you'd get any meaningful stats - when all tickets from all locations sell out in minutes.

No tricks really. Just a matter of getting enough people to try to get tickets for you. And be flexible on your pick up point and day if you do get on the ticket booking site. Based on previous years and the excess demand you've probably got a 10-20% chance of getting passed the ticket holding page and onto the actual booking site.

The only data you my be able to get is the number of coaches run on Wednesday and on Thursday. This data doesn't give any provide any indication of traveller preference as festival goers chase tickets against dwindling availability. Many have to accept second, third and even fourth travel options altering pick up point and date. And many many many more (probably the majority) are left ticketless.
