Not all ALSA buses in their timetable are available for purchase, 5 weeks out, Nerja to Granada

Howdy,
We are looking to take the bus from Nerja to Granada 5 weeks from now (Monday Sep 9, 2019). The route is run by ALSA, and their timetable lists 6 buses throughout the day on Mondays. However, when I go to buy tickets, only 1 time that day is listed (14:30 arriving 16:45). I've also checked the Movelia site, same thing.

Does this mean the other 5 departures are sold out? That seems unlikely 5 weeks out. I considered the possibility that ALSA just hasn't put them up for purchase yet, but I've read elsewhere that ALSA tickets are available 2 to 3 months out, and we're well past that point now.

Does anyone know why the other 5 ALSA Nerja to Granada buses that day do not show tickets available for purchase?

Thanks for any tips!

I would just wait a bit longer. I looked back and see I bought mine just before I left for Spain so a week before use. Pre purchased tickets aren't always a necessity, but I understand the confusion....why one, not all? Welcome to Spain.

Thanks for the replies! Nicely reassuring, so I appreciate that :-)
Indeed, it is now just under 1 month out, all the bus departures have shown up on the website, and we have purchased our tickets. Todo es bueno!
Thanks again.
