Drayton Manor Deals?

Does anyone know of any?
I see loads of buy one get one free adults for Merlin but barely any for Drayton Manor.

At best part of £100 for four, it's a bit steep.

Thanks

    Drayton Manors entry price is cheaper than the Merlin parks to start with.
    DM is £27.50-£29 for adults,
    Alton Towers is £34-£42 booking online, or £32.50 each with a 2for1 based on the £65 on the day price

    So Drayton Manor don't discount as much, as they are already £5 cheaper.

    You can use Tesco Clubcard points to buy tickets .

    Thanks but I'm not comparing to Alton Towers... 

    Drayton Manor was coming out at best part of £100 for three of us. Alton would be cheaper than that as we wouldn't have to pay for the little one for starters.

    More so - I used to work at Alton Towers so know the tricks for cheaper entry (although you wouldn't have known that).

    As you mentioned that Merlin offers 2for1 vouchers you did seem to be comparing against them.

    You also didn't mention that the issue is Alton Towers is free for under 3s (apparently they wanted to change that but BBC made it a condition of using the CBeebies brand that under 3 remains free), whereas Drayton is free for under 2s and discounted for under 4s.
    Knowing that its the under 4s you specificanlly need to know, they don't discount the age 2-3 ticket so no you can't get it cheaper.

    As you only mentioned the buy one get one free I assumed everyone going was paying that price and based on everyone being over 4, Drayton is £110 for four people, using 2for1s at Alton Towers is £130 for four people, or to compare another Merlin park Chessington is £112 for four people.
