The short answer: before you pay for a concert coach from Belfast or Antrim, confirm five things. Is your concert ticket included, or is it transport only? Where and when will you be picked up? What time does the coach leave the venue after the show? How do you book and pay? And who do you contact if you have a question? With Express Event Travel, coach tickets are transport only unless a trip is clearly described as a ticket and travel package, pickup points and times are listed on each trip, and you book online through a secure checkout.
1. Is your concert ticket included?
This is the most important thing to check. Most concert coach tickets cover travel only, and entry to the show is a separate purchase. All Express Event Travel coach tickets are transport only unless a trip is clearly described as a ticket and travel package.
If you still need your concert ticket, buy it from the venue, the promoter or their official ticket agent. The Buying Tickets Safely advice from STAR and Action Fraud explains what to look out for.
2. Where and when will you be picked up?
Check the pickup points and departure times before you book, and choose the one that suits you. Our trips list pickups at The Junction in Antrim and Belfast City Centre, with the times shown on each trip. For example, coaches to Oasis at Slane Castle leave The Junction, Antrim at 11:45 and Belfast City Centre at 12:15.
3. What time does the coach leave after the show?
Ask when the return coach leaves the venue, so you can plan the end of your night. On our Oasis at Slane Castle trip, the coach leaves Slane at 00:00 (midnight) for the journey home.
4. How do you book and pay?
Find out how bookings are taken before you hand over any money. With Express Event Travel you book online: open the trip on our concert coach trips page, select Book Now, choose your pickup point and number of tickets, and pay through our secure TicketingHub checkout. The full price is shown before you pay.
5. Who do you contact with a question?
Make sure you have a phone number or email address for the operator before you travel. You can reach us on 078 3454 3580, at hello@expresseventtravel.com or through our contact page.
