If you’re walking as a “group” then the “Group Leader” can collect Compostela for all. There’s a dedicated section of the PO. Saves all that queuingHi, if this has been covered before, please point me to the right thread.
If I arrive in Santiago with others, and we all go to the pilgrim office to get our tickets for the compostela, and the others then have to fly home immediately (for one reason or another), can I collect their compostela for them?
Just to add time to get my Compostella yesterday was around 2 hrs. Entered when number was at 70ish and I was 267!If you’re walking as a “group” then the “Group Leader” can collect Compostela for all. There’s a dedicated section of the PO. Saves all that queuing

If you walk just a bit longer each day you can shorten the number of days to reach Santiago.
Its a bit like the deli counter at your local supermarket, or a government office. You rock up, take a ticket with a number on it and there is a big electronic display with the number now being dealt with. When your number comes up, you go to the counter. It's not 100% perfect but you at least have some idea of when you can collect your compostela, and saunter off for a coffee if it looks like a long wait. It also means that once you have a ticket, you are assured of getting a compostela that day.Can someone tell me about the new system of ticketing? How does it work?
Thank you for your very kind words.@t2andreo
Tom -
Your unvarnished delivery of the facts/rules as you know them...and allowance for the fact that perhaps you do not know them all despite extensive experience is wonderfully refreshing in this day and age.
The coupling of knowledgeable authority with humility is really quite remarkable.
I appreciate you, and I am probably part of a very big club.
Warmest regards,
B
However, I will pursue the issue and ask again. I will report back here.
In my experience, the number has varied daily depending on the resources (staff) available to process all the requests. As a perennial volunteer at the Pilgrim Office I have witnessed the number start at 6 or 8, then go down to 4 in one day.
