agree  jarv95888: You fill (or are filled) in a tourist group which still have some vacancies (of course, the vacant seats in the coach) on a tour, instead of being a sign-up member of a pre-arranged program from the very beginning.

seat in coach tour
旅游车位


Explanation:
I don't live in China, but during my few trips there, I believe 旅游车位 is the term commonly used to refer to getting a seat on a tour coach. But of course, that may not speak for the whole country.

“拼团游”是指一帮人事先约好去某地旅游，在某地结合，是指非由旅行社统一安排组团的旅游；而Seat in coach tour 是指旅游车沿途“带上”事先没有约好的散客，将其带到某景点旅游。
Also, “散客” is a professional term while “拼团”is a fad word
