  • Mine arrived this week too. Mid September - as no kids in toe, great for me Just hope not too many people go there on a Tuesday, AND all the rides I want are open!

    hey all, if any of you decide not to go i would welcome any free tickets! i collected all but didnt get the applciation form, was very annoyed with myself!!

    I doubt people would give them away free when people are selling them on ebay and making a profit from them... But I guess its worth a try!! There are some on ebay for £18 which is good... (Even though they were free!!)

    Just realised, through Quidco.. you get 3.4% back on a travel lodge stay!! Hope this helps you guys!! p.s.. its about 5-7 miles away from Alton Towers... :)

    I know that ebay had some up for auction, that were actually for a Swap.. So perhaps you could look there... or better still.. Sell your tickets on Ebay and then buy new ones for your specific date of choice!!
  • I received my about three weeks ago and my son and girlfriend used them today! They had a great time - doesn't open till 10am, but they arrived early (not too much traffic about) and was let in about 9.30 and had a great day.

    Still nothing, and checked that they were delivered (PO tracking)..says March 3rd. :(

    I don't suppose there is any support for a freebie?

    makes no odds if the school is private! All children are allowed 10 school days a year for holiday

    And mine have a day off sick for something like this.

    I'd never pay for education. Nor would I ever pay for tuiton. I help my kids myself. My DD got 98% in her 11 plus exam with no tuiton at all. My DS will take his in 2 yrs and he wont have any tuiton either.

    But I'll take em to alton towers on a school day if want!! Fingers crossed for no queues. We wanna whizz round Rita, clamber on the corkscrew, fly round air and whoop on nemesis!!
    Oh and then there's the heart stopping oblivion. Still tremble thinking about that. The fear is worse than the actual ride!
