    I know ... but thousands of booking have already been made - what are the chances of school hols dates still being available? £30+ is a lot to pay for a gamble.

    Very true, I got third choice date but still a school holiday. I guess I was just lucky.

    I'm having a look now and dont know what to do as i cant there is only about £80 difference between the sun and booking butlins direct (i dont want school hols)

    The butlins price is for silver and i'd want to upgrade the sun to silver.. i think by the time we upgrade its going to be the same as going direct..

    gocat I saw a few that called themselves priority booking but were actually just the form that was printed in the paper ... seller doesn't include a picture :(

    there is a picture and the title says "
    SUN PRIORITY BOOKING FORM AND TOKEN 2 & 4"


    have emailed the seller for clarification just to be sure. ;) (bit strange about the token 2&4 :confused: )
  • Is the list still valid? I have a code, will happily PM to top person if they still need it. (We had 2, successfully booked Weymouth Bay for the Ester holidays).

    You would also make around £30 if you sold your code on ebay tonight :rotfl:

    I don't know what has happened to the list I am on it and have been checking on here all through the day but there doesn't seem to be much progress?
