    oh the passes can be purchased at anytime when you get there if they were needed and would be the exact same price as if you bought them before

    Thanks

    I booked on the sun website last Thursday and got my email from Butlins yesterday - all pretty quick! I've got to pay my balance by the 9th May - they want me to pay £95.80 but it looks like I'll just pay the £35.80 service charge and take my own linen and hope the entertainment passes aren't checked!

    I paid my balance today and didn't get the entertainment passes. I don't remember ever being asked before for them but this is my first Sun hol. The woman on the phone said you couldn't buy them on site if I changed my mind... Is she just being snotty do you think?
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!

    I have just phoned to pay the balance on my holiday and spoke to a really scary lady!!! I thought that the linen was just the pillow cases/quilt covers but it turns out you don't get a quilt or a pillow without paying the linen charge, so that was £12 I didn't want to pay (It's a bit bulky in my little car to take enough for us) - then I tried saying that 2 people weren't coming so I could get the entertainment passes down but she ended up cancelling them off the holiday and charging me an extra £50 to cancel them off - after getting a bit stroppy with me she eventually put them back on so that I dind't have to pay that.
    I was hoping to cut the entertainment passes down to 2 (I just know I'll get caught if I don't buy them) but turns out I have to buy all 4 or none, so I bought all 4. So total cost of holiday £158 for a week which when you weigh it all up, isn't bad at all!

    I am paying £158 for 3 nights at Bognor..I have just priced this weekend on the Butlins website and they want £526.06:eek:
    So i think £158 is a very good price:p.

    Depends , its bank holiday so will be expensive, you need to compare it to the dates you are going !
