2 for 1 on main attrations

Blonde moment from my friend who is sat here with me.

Can somebody please answer the following:

She has 2 lots of: 2 for 1 tickets for a main family attraction. 2 adults and 3 children just under the age of 15.

So what would she be paying for??

Could she give one to her partner and pay for him and the 15 year old

then the other for herself and pay for herself and two little girls??

So confusing as the website to really confusing

Thanks

    well it depends on a couple of things really.

    Is the 241 on all tickets, or only adult tickets, or for example one adult free when you buy a child's ticket?

    Also, for the attraction she's looking to take her family to, what age is classed as a child's ticket up to?
  • If it's possible the cheapest way to do it would be to use one 2 for 1 ticket for the two adults, another for 2 of the children and then just pay for the last child. That way she would only be paying for 1 adult and 2 children.

    Thinking about it that way must be the most logical as then both tickets purchased using each 2 for 1 would be of the same ticket type. If that makes sense!

    TWO for ONE...only two per ticket one pays one free.
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    oh, and just to confuse a bit further - often 2 for one tickets are only valid on gate price, whereas if you book online for the same attraction, you might find its cheaper to do so.
  • Most only are valid if you pay for an adult and then an adult or a child can go in free.

    I have only found the Kelloggs offer allowed a childs entrance to be the paid before you get a free ticket.

    So if it is Kelloggs go for paying for two children and get the two adults in free and pay for the extra child separately, ie 3 children paid.

    If the t&cs state adult ticket needs to be purchased 2 x adult tickets and 1 x child ticket

    She thought exactly the same. As we said, all so confusing

    Daughter is 14, so passes as a child and then two toddlers

    Just went onto the legoland website to book the car park and it is stating no availability for tomorrow. So I gather she can,t go tomorrow. She is on the phone to legoland and been on hold for a while now.

    Is she reading that correctly?? If no car park spaces no she cannot go??
