a possible loophole for legoland annual pass?

Options
Hello,

Not sure this is really a loophole, but I am quite happy about it anyway.

When you use the points from walker crisp, you can get entrance fee half priced. So the adult entrance fee is 18.50£ now.
Then you can upgrade your ticket to an annual pass, which only costs extra 16£ for a basic pass. In total 34.5£ for an basic pass. Compare to the offical price £54, I think this is a nice save.

    I did this last year with Warwick castle, we had free tickets and really enjoyed it so fancied a year long pass, we were asked to show our tickets but we said we had thrown them away, so we got a year pass each for around £40 for both :T

    Have you actualy been able to do this & got the passes.
    When I tried this a short while ago with some other half price vouchers I was told that you could only upgrade from a full price day ticket. If you had discounted entry you would need to pay the difference. Therefore you wouldn't make any saving.

    Hi,
    I already got my basic annual pass (went there Saturday) and paid in total 34.5£. No one asked me to pay the differences. They did check the day pass I bought for 18.5£ and then just asked me to pay for 16£.

    Ties in with what I heard at Chessington, though a BOGOF (rather than two at half price) allowed me full-price reduction on ONE annual pass.

    WH Smiths did 2 for 1 vouchers a while ago. When used, one ticket shows full value the other is nulled. Don't now if that's any help.

    Legoland sucks anyway (talk about taking the p**** with their queuing system & prices) ....it's like being transported into a land where everything has very low resolution but very high prices....

    Completely agree, can't understand why it's one of the more expensive to get in to.

    I think the whole point of Lego may have passed you by.
