sorry, if I buy 4 expresses does that mean four of us get into alton towers fre??????
This cant be right surely? I've only ever seen 2 for one
Can someone please confirm/deny so I can go get the paper lol

You had to collect four different tokens during the week for each free entry, but it the last one today. I have seven sets of four so hopefully we can all go in the holidays for free :T

no moc in express.

t&cs for free entry tickets

no entrance for legoland sealife and dungeons. Entance for Alton towers, Thorpe park, Warwick castle, Maddame Tussauds, and chessington.

voucher valid until 12th august but does not include 9th - 13th july at alton towers and also 16th - 20th july at alton towers and thorpe park. Under 12s must be with person 18 plus

i've wondered about this, we will be using our free tickets to get children into alton towers. they will be with adults, but the adults will have annual passes. i'm hoping that it's okay and you can just buy a free child ticket. i've gone to the kiosk and just bought a child ticket before now.

i'm thinking that all it means is children under 12 won't be allowed through the entrance if they are not with an adult. won't be trying it until the 15th so hopefully somebody else will go before then to let us know.

this is a fantastic offer - free theme park entrance that you can use at weekends during the summer holidays!

if you have children one way around it if you're worried is to go to more than one ticket kiosk, that way it will be an adult buying the ticket each time but the staff won't know you've already used a voucher that day. they have some staff on the entrance gates but they don't check every single ticket on the way in. the machines accept the tickets, a bit like the barriers in a tube station - so a kid can use an adult ticket unnoticed probably, especially if you go through while the staff member is distracted when having to open the gate for a pushchair.

the free ticket for getting a baby in doesn't work on the barriers though, it won't let them through, so if you have a walking toddler you'll have to go through the pram gates and have all of your tickets scanned by the staff member there. you could get around this by mum taking the toddler through the pram bit while dad slips through the normal entrances with the kids using their adult tickets.

sorry for such a long post, i've obviously thought about this too much!!!

just in case this is as clear as mud - alton towers has ticket kiosks outside the barriers so you buy your tickets first and then take them over to the barriers. it's not like other places where you pay as you actually enter the park.

Thats the way I read it too.

Do hope this is the way it works

PRINCESSKERRY

I had three accepted this evening no problems at all but I have to say I usually get a problem with them being accepted but still bought a few as I have all month to get rid of them.:j

I've used 3 DM coupons over the course of the day.. scanned no problem on till or self scan. I had more trouble with some of the coupons from this weeks Best, that wouldn't scan.
