    Hi tudorfan22, thanks, we did it last year, and yesterday got a postcard from the Sun with a free bonus ticket on.

    Myabe some of us MSE'ers can arrange a meet on the days we go?
    I had great fun last year, the park was nearly empty as it was a school day, and it was really nice to have a day with my hubby :cool:

    There is a slight catch with this ... you don't get to choose the exact date ... just choose from a range of dates available, and they allocate you the actual date. So this stops people collecting loads of vouchers, applying for load of tickets and using them to get a whole group of people in for free... Still, its a good bargain as you get children in for a cheap price.

    When they state they issue 10 differently numbered tickets everyday, does that mean that you can collect the 7 tickets in just one day?

    I'm guessing they mean they'll print a different one each day for the next 10 days. The full sentence is:
    "All you have to do to get hold of your tickets is simply collect SEVEN differently numbered tokens from the TEN we are printing every day until March 12."

    Even if we cant get the day off work I thought we could still use the kids tickets another day but they are only valid for 1 day only too.
    6. Each successful ticket application will also receive 2 Child Entry Vouchers each entitling one Child entry for £9.50 to the Alton Towers theme park, these vouchers are only valid when presented with a valid Sun Ticket and Child Entry Vouchers cannot be exchanged or used without a valid Sun Ticket under any circumstance.

    still a good offer even though theres plenty of strings attached.

    Have a few queries about this.

    1. Is the application form only available in the sun paper today or can it be obtained from the website?
    2. The website says you can get an extra ticket online, along with the application form? (not there)
    3. I have a token from Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and today, that’s 4 tokens right?
    Please advise! thank you!!!! :rolleyes:

    Does anyone know if you can use both the online bonus token and the bonus token they sent throught the post to people who did the offer last year?

    Or do you think it's just one or the other?

    I am in the same position and was planning on sending my application away first thing tomorrow having retrieved tomorrows ticket, so I shall be using both.
    Got me thinking now though! as long as no tickets are the same I'm sure it would be fine?
