Alton Towers Tickets

Just fancied Alton Towers tomorrow, day off work, weather looks ok but was wondering where the best place is to get tickets at such short notice?

Thanks in advance

    You could go to your nearest "tesco express" (should be open untill 11pm) ,,, buy 2 bags of multi bag walkers crisp(currently on offer) .... take the "brit trip codes" from the crisp packets and redeam them at the walkers website http://www.walkersbrittrips.co.uk/home/ .... then print out the Alton Towers voucher .. take it along with you to Alton Towers and gain 1/2 price entry (£17.00) .... or .... phone your friends/family and see if anyone has yesterdays daily mirror, the paper contained a 1/2 price voucher for Alton Towers.

    Good Luck!

    even better, log onto the brit crisps offer via the co-op website and use their free britpoints game to get points, you can get loads, all you do is keep refreshing then enter the codes. once you get 20 points print off the 1/2 price ticket. alternatively buy a packet of 80 tetley tea bags with the 2 for 1 offer. hope this helps, best of luck.

    Tetley teabags have "bogof" vouchers on them, if you buy a 80's or 160's size pack.
    I've seen them in Tesco and Morrisons, maybe in other stores too.

    These tickets are the same price as everywhere else.

    Thanks to all your replies, off to get some tetley teas bags!
