Aircoach - Can you get on the 23:59 bus with a 01:00 ticket?

    Hey guys,
    Does anyone know if I book a 01:00am ticket for this Saturday morning from Dublin to Cork, would I be able to use it on the 23:59 Friday night bus tomorrow night if there are seats available?

    The problem is that's it's too late for me to book the 23:59 bus tomorrow night as you need to book before 17:00 the day before :-(

    If there are seats free you might be allowed use your ticket an hour early, otherwise go for a pint or two.

    Thanks Foggy - I just wonder if there could be an issue with the buses technically being on different days. I'm sure it will be grand though...

    I would call them to ask them, technically it is different days so the T&C's would suggest that you can't.

    Your other choice is simply to pay the (higher) walk up cost.

    Thanks devnull. I decided to buy the 1am tickets to ensure that we have a way back home. If there are seats on the 23:59 bus and we are left on with these tickets then great, if not we just have an hour to kill so not too bad, at least we have seats booked instead of talking the chance of just turning up and hoping for the best!

    Have you tried to make the booking and did it stop you from booking the earlier time? I'm asking because I have often booked only a couple of hours in advance - last week I booked just 3 hours before I got on the bus.

    Depends on the route.

    Same day bookings are now available on route 700 but others are still 17:00 the day before.
