TL;DR
Buy tickets online at tkt.ge or via tutu.ru (citybus, metrogeorgia, georgian bus), or at the bus station. Most buses depart from Ortachala terminal, some from Didube and the train station.
If tickets appear unavailable, you're likely checking dates not yet on sale. Tickets for near-term dates are usually plentiful.
Most buses now depart from Ortachala bus terminal, which is inconvenient for many. Some routes also stop at Didube or depart from the train station, but these are fewer.
The aggregated schedule for all buses from Tbilisi is available on tkt.ge under the 'Transport' section, covering multiple carriers.
Tickets can be booked in advance through tutu.ru, which lists carriers citybus, metrogeorgia, and georgian bus. Note that tickets for distant dates may not be on sale yet.
Seat selection is available when booking on tkt.ge and similar platforms. Buying tickets at the station during peak season for a group just a couple of days ahead can be very difficult — book online in advance.
