Hi!
I bought tickets with the coach trip included. The seetickets website
says these tickets won't be sent out and you'll have to travel on the
coach to get in. This seems a bit arbitrary - we just wanted the four
days of hedonism, not the transport.
Am I right about this and if I am, does anyone know a way of getting
out of the coach trip?
Thanks,
|

I've been trying to find out about this too, as we're not bothered about the coach trip. Would rather drive.
From what i can gather the coach tickets are actually allocated to a different part of the site.. Meaning we have to camp in a specific pre-determined area. This is because the extra capacity of the festival this year includes those 20,000ish festival/coach tickets.
So i think our camping area will be fenced off from everyone else at the festival. Sounds a bit pants i know, but i still feel extremely lucky just to have aticket, even if i do have to get on a coach for ahlf aday to get there.
This is only what i've read on other forums, so if anyone has any definate information that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks for that. I think we have to wait a few days for everyone to stop
jamming the phonelines to get the information from the glastonbury
site.
I don't think they could separate our camping area though, as some
kind of coach pariahs. When you're in, you're in and the tickets must be
the same for everyone. I've been lots of times and I can't think of any
way they can dictate where you put you're tent...

I don't think you'll be fenced off, but you'll be in one of the fields used for the expanded capacity. Where that actally is remains to be seen.

But how would that work? Everytime I've been you walk and find where
you want to put your tent, and there are just places which are reserved
for performers or families, etc. Surely the extra capacity would be
opened up as the existing fields were filled, not reserved for the coach
lot?
Oh well, I'm sure it will all be fine...

As I understand it to get the increased capacity they had to guarantee 25,000 people would travel by coach (so as not to increase congestion) therefore the way they have done this is to sell 25,000 combo tikcets. coach tickets Will be sent to you and your festival ticket will be given out to you on your coach. Therefore guaranteeing at least 25,000 people travel by coach.
Thus i think you will struggle to find a way round it!
Haven't heard anything about segregated camping and agree they wouldn't be abel to implement it!

I know one rumour is that the coach will take you directly to a seperate field but it's best to wait for official confirmation. But yes, you can't get out of using the coach I'm afraid.

Thanks everybody!
I finally got through to seetickets this afternoon and you're absolutely
right. You have to get the coach because they want to limit the number
of people who travel by car. The tickets will be handed out when you're
nearly there. No way out of it.
Rumours of separate fields are untrue. You get out the coach with your
ticket and make your own way in like all the other happy campers.
I wish you all a very happy, sunny Glastonbury...

Thanks for the info Paechyfox, they din't happen to tell you how you go about booking a specific coach time did they? I hink its done through National Express, but not sure. Dont want to have to get up at 8.30am on the Monay. the person i spoke to at seetickets was pretty clueless about it.
Good news about the camping.
By the way, i'm not usually ths gash at typing... my batteries in my wireless keyboard are unning out...

I got the coach ticket... but what about the place of departure? the time? The company???
Anyone knows about it? And what about which number of bus to catch ? There will be hundreds of buses...how will i be able to know where my Glasto ticket is???
And moreover i received the confirmation from seetickets and they say the Glasto ticket has to be collected at the venue ticket office!!! But i 've heard that they will hand the ticket on the bus...SO WHAT????
i'm quite confused...
