Merlin annual pass

  • Take care with upgrading only one pass later. I found the sale price for upgrading one premium to be only marginally cheaper, than had we bought all 4 at the sale price. It was about £14 cheaper to do the 1, rather than all 4.

    I regretted the decision.

    The upgrade is not at the sale price.

    I got three passes last year at 75 each, then I paid 40 to upgrade mine to premium.

    Okay folks need a bit of advice.


    We are going to purchase the family pass (tomorrow) and are wondering if we buy online and not collect until say mid-feb if we wished to renew in 2015 would we be able to do so in the 'January sale' (if it was on) or would I need to renew at full price?


    The last time I held a pass was in 2011, however I never needed to review it.


    Thank you guys for the advice (in advance) oh and Happy New Year!

    I presume if you needed to renew next year then like now you can renew before the end of your current pass runs out and then start it when u pick up the new pass.

    I would think you will only get a fast track if you have a premium pass so the others will have to que as usual.

    You only get one Fast Track with the Premium passes now and that excludes Lego Land.

    No longer get drinks with the Premium pass either.

    Free drinks after 2PM at the theme parks. It was removed though because people abused it and change to a 2 for 1 offer. Although, Merlin should have done more really to stop the abuse of the offer by issuing vouchers for free drinks at the gate would have been an idea.
