See Coaches from Bristol - Pickup place?

[discgoesmic]

Congratulations to everyone that got a ticket today. Does anyone know where the departure point from Bristol for See coaches is this year? I’m seeing Elton John at Aston Gate the night before, so I’d like to book a hotel near the pickup point ideally.

The website is down for now due to the sales, so if not I’ll wait until Monday and check the website. Thanks  in advance!

I asked this in the questions section:

Have a great time at the Elton gig!

Right here if that helps. Anchor road, pretty much across the street from the Travelodge.

Am I crazy for thinking I could get here for 830 coach from Bristol airport if my flight lands at 730am? 🙈

I think it’s an outside chance of you actually making that … maybe 5% if you had a taxi waiting Bristol traffic is shit and that’s rush hour

I thought as much ! Thanks! 

Looks like I'll need a late Wednesday flight and somewhere to stay Wednesday night now...

I'm looking at staying at the Travelodge Bristol City (hence asking the location), only trouble is you're looking at £100 at least for a hotel in Bristol in summer...

It's from the o2 for London pick-up, isn't it?

You two could club together and get a twin room if you’re both on your own?

I have a spare room in Bristol and I’m on the Wednesday morning 9:30 coach. If I can help let me know.

Definitely do not do this!! 
if you’re on time you will struggle to make this 
if you’re flight is delayed even slightly then it’s all over

I've my husband with me ! 

Would an Airbnb be better value than a hotel room and a few people from here could bunk in?

You're very kind! 

If I don't take you up on that I'm sure someone will...

I land in Bristol airport at 9-45 on Thursday. Hopefully that gives me enough time for the 11-30 bus departure from Bristol. 
 

Not sure what happens if there’s a flight delay.

That should be enough, but you'll need to be clear how you're getting from airport to Bristol and across to the coach departure. 

If you missed it you'd have to arduously make your own way to site then go to box office and plead for your ticket. It wouldn't be fun.

Cheers. Plan to jump in a taxi from the airport. I guess if the flight is delayed there will be plenty of people in the same situation.

I got a coach ticket so I absolutely cannot miss my bus 😂 they give the tickets out on the coach journey apparently

They certainly have the handful of times I've got one, which were mostly see tickets coaches from Brizzle
