Car Park ticket on gate?

[pod26]

Hey, to increase chances am going for the coach sale today but have always driven before. If end up getting single coach tickets is it possible to go back out and bring car in? Can you buy car park tickets ok on the gate?

You are handed your ticket on the coach after if has started moving so backing out isn't really an option. You can though buy car park tickets at the gate - £50 last year.

This defeats the purpose of a coach ticket.

Don't be a d*ck.

Thanks for the replies. Haven't decided on option yet. It depends what happens as an entire group. Just checking car park tickets are available on the gate

If you get a coach ticket package you must go on the coach as your admission ticket will only be issued to you when you are on the coach (normally somewhere on route). You cannot later change your mind and drive as your admission ticket is usually checked at the car park entry.  Only people with general admission tickets are issued with tickets before the day allowing them to enter the car park, either by prepaid voucher or paying on the day.

Are the tickets handed out individually on the coach or just to the lead booker?

Handed out individually when I got it this year

There are other parking options than the official car parks. If you dont live too far away you could drop your car full of stuff off before the festival starts then get off the coach and pick your stuff up.

A few exist but they're quite a hike to the fest site. Don't believe they open until the Wednesday either.
