    can you no cancel the bus amigo... or is it an advance ticket and they wont refund?

    The bus is more like 3 1/2 hours I think, I will check.
    There is no refund option on the cheap fares, it's like travel lodge, £19 a room no cancellation, or £79 a room with cancellelation option......it's a no brainer :D
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Yup, I chose to print my own tickets so already know my seat number.

    Not sure if you will have to get the name changed as even though I had to put both names in, the ticket only seems to have my name on it.

    Have asked about these in the Dublin thread (and offered money towards the cause :P ... me have no artistic/photoshop ability :twisted: )

    Dunk organised them for Dublin and Scratchin' a Letter organised them for Wembley.

    Was this the website we used Dunkington??
