    I doubt in many cases the barcode is clear enough from a photo for AT to read it??

    The first listing - which was removed from Ebay, didn't have the barcode showing at all - which is why we think Alton Towers had it removed. The second listing had the barcode clearly showing - it was quite easy to read. It may have been the woman trying it on - but we will never know. It is strange that we had two listings on at the same time - but only the one without a barcode was removed - we were told by Ebay that Alton Towers had complained about copyright. We have given tickets to friends before and they haven't had any problems - and we have never been asked for ID when we go - maybe it is just Ebay sales they are trying to stop? Our tickets were for the Scarefest event and were half term tickets - don't know if Altow Towers were being more vigilant that week - who knows!

    For the last 2 years we have just swapped tickets on these forums, without any problems, thanks to MSE turning a blind eye. Hope its the same this year.

    heya I did this successfully the last 2 years in a row and its great! Last year I got sent a postcard with a little free bonus voucher on it. Did anyone else get this?
    I was wondering if anyone gets one this year could you let me know because I don't get all my post because I'm at uni and my mum and dad never seem to forward stuff!

    My friend at work got a bonus token a week ago, but I havent received any??

    Me and OH are getting involved in this this year, never done it before. All our pennies are going on sending dd away to france with the school so seems a perfect time for us to act like big kids for free when she's away!! :p We would prefer mid-week at the end of June, so when I apply for my tickets is it likely that slot would be available? Sorry, I'm probably going to be on this thread asking lots of silly questions for the foreseeable! I have 3 tokens so far! (Killing me to buy The Scum though :()

    The order form will be in the Sun tomorrow - which will give the date bands that you can choose from. There will be 11 different bands.

    Some more info here (but it doesn't give the dates - sorry)

    Would someone please be able to post the available dates? I just want to make sure I don't book for when all the Sun people are going to be there :)
