No guarantee of getting tickets for the school holidays. Theres 11 date bands - of which you have to choose 5 in order of preference.

Only band G which is 25th July - 21st August ensures a definate date during school holidays. Other possibles are band A 30th March - 15th April (Easter holiday) and the last band 24th October - 3rd Nov which I think is a week off?

Thanks, I think I will have a go at this then and hope for the best! I just wondered if you picked a non school holiday band if you would get a sat/sun but I guess they must have a certain number of free tickets for each day of the week and that is how they get issued. But as someone said - worth a go for free!

Does anyone know if you can combine with other offers please eg: tesco clubcard kids tickets?

Thanks :-)

Failing a swap do as my DD did last year, sold hers on ebay and bought dates she wanted also on ebay.

Beware selling on ebay. My auction got pulled when ebay said that they were acting on the sun's request. I waited a couple of weeks and then put them up for sale again and this time they slipped ebay's notice and were sold. It's pot luck but if they spot you.

I had a bonus token arrive today so I only need to collect 8 more. I havnt done this promotion before so are the dates on offer usually during school time? We have a strict headteacher who HATES us taking kids out of school even if they have 100% attendance

Also can you combine other promotions eg: can I buy 2 kids tokens with Tesco Clubcard vouchers etc and get all 4 of us in using all 4 vouchers???


Yes you can - last year we sent of for 2 sets (1 to my mum's house) and we were lucky enough to actually receive 4 tickets for the same day.

THANK YOU for spotting this one.

Am guessing it is around £22 per child for a day pass so still fairly reasonable with the 2 free adult tickets... now I just need to get a good date!

Bit disappointed to be honest - as there's no reduced price tickets for children included like they've had in the past. I think it was £9.50 for children with the two free adult tickets.

If you know someone who's going to AT then ask them to get you some come back anyday tickets. They work out around a tenner for kids and 14 quid for adults if bought on the same day!!

So many people collect these and then put them on Ebay that you can usually pick up them up for pretty cheap. Last year managed to get a couple for Thorpe Park off Ebay for the postasge cost only.

That happened to us two years ago - great luck that was as I then only needed to pay for one child at the reduced rate of £9.50.

Did this last year - bought 5 tickets for Alton Towers off ebay at a reasonable price and of course guaranteed to be during school holidays.
