'The Sun' Holidays are back!!

Austinhead

OK, i'm pushing it here, but can anyone tell me if it's possible to book these holidays without having actually purchased the sun ??. I completely forgot about it so didn't get the tokens, and we want to head to Butlins for a few days over half term.

Any advice/help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Was there an option to use passwords to book online?

Thanks for the tip, i've just "won" one on ebay, so hopefully will be able to get booked up over the next couple of days.

ask the seller to email the reference number to you, instead of you waiting for it in the post. that's what my sister did, and she was able to book immediately.

if it is a priority booking form you've bought rather than an ordinary one from the newspaper, that is. the newspaper one has to be posted, with tokens. the priority one can be done online using codes that are available in this thread.

*DOH* I didn't get the priority one, just the ordinary one (although they did promise first class post today). I'm thinking i might go for a priority one now which ends tomorrow and then resell the one i just bought. Do you get immediate confirmation with the priority one if you book online ? or do you have to wait like the normal form ?.

Thanks for your help.

with the online one it's immediate. you put in the reference, the codes, your email etc. then it takes you to the booking details. you say how many are in your group, then put at least 3 dates and at least 3 parks. they will offer you something from one of your choices, and you can say yes, or you can go back and change things.

it's easier online because you know exactly what they are offering you.

Sorry. Me again (
Does anyone know how much it costs to add Dinner, bed and breakfast at Butlins ?. Also, is it possible to upgrade to Silver accomodation, and if so, what's the cost ?.
There will be 6 of us going (2 adults, 2 kids and 2 juniors) so i'm wondering whether it's any cheaper using the Sun deal that getting it through the website.

We want to go Feb half term for 3 nights (over the weekend). Works out at £150 using the sun deals without bedding, in standard accomodation and without any food. For £320 I can get silver accom with bedding and food.....
