Greyhound Bus Ticket Advance Purchase Discounts
Introduction
As of January 2, 2008, If you buy a ticket for a Greyhound bus in advance the cost is much cheaper than the regular price. The sooner you book your ticket, the cheaper it is suppose to be.
As Greyhound changes these deals often, check out the website for the most current information. But, generally, the sooner you purchase a ticket – and especially if you do so online – the cheaper it should be.
How to purchase tickets in advance
You can purchase advance tickets for Greyhound at a station or online at Greyhound.com.

Conclusion
I have used the Greyhound advance purchase ticket option on a variety of occasions. I recommend only buying one when you are SURE of your destination and departure dates and time. These tickets are non-refundable, and I have been burned before.

Wade I’ve done the advanced fares too on numerous occasions and would only add that its pretty easy and cheap to change the tickets. They are non-refundable but can be changed for a $10 fee (at least that was the way it was the last time I bought one). g
