    When I tried to give tickets away for a show a couple of months ago on freecycle I got told the don't save landfill and that you were not allowed to give away tickets through them.

    does your group have a freecycle cafe?

    I went yesterday with my mum and my 2 dd's 5 & 6 and had a really good time.
    We were met by Alice from Alice in Wonderland and from then on my girls were referred to as Princess A and Princess E. we got to meet various fairytale characters on route, all of whom took the time to speak to both girls and ask if they were looking forward to seeing Santa.

    Many thanks once again to the lovely MSE'R for the tickets.
    At each turn of the corner was a little picture and paragraph from various Fairytales and it helped make the time queueing less arduous.
    When we got in to see Santa, he was lovely!
    He asked both girls there names and what they would like for Christmas. He asked them if they had been good and then as he noticed that the eldest had her teddy with her, he asked what teddy's name was and if she had been good!
    He looked teddy all over and to the delight of my daughter, pronounced that teddy had indeed been good:) this prompted dd2 to repeat the process with her teddy!
    We then had a beautiful picture taken and the girls received their sticker book, badge and chocolate coin.
    They had also written a Christmas list for Santa and posted it in the postbox.
    We did this last year and they both got a lovely reply from Santa.
  • Any spare tickets for saturday 13th December would be appreciated. ( 2 adults + 1 child ).
    I am only trying to help :rolleyes:

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: For legal reasons I have to discourage swapping, buying and selling on the forum (please see this rule). While it can be a very useful way of saving money it relies on a certain amount of trust between members and as such can cause problems (and has in the past). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="%20abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Hope it's okay to say this, but why not advertise any spare tickets on netmum or similar websites? I may end up doing that as we may not be able to use ours.

  • hi, ive messed up and thought i had 12 tickets for seriously ill children (via Post Pals) on sunday, but i dont i have 6. the families have already booked transport, hotels etc and i despertly dont want to let them down (harrods have been transfering names for us to i will see if they will allow the childrne in- there are only 3 of them plus parents) in the morning (im typing this through tears just incase). Does anyone have tickets for sunday who would be able to swap, i have ones for this saturday, for the saturday 21st, even christmas eve which are obviously popular dates but does anyone have ones they would be willing to swap for this sunday (7th). As i said harrods have been transfering names for us please??
