nightwolf Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 As there's four of us, shall we use the 2for1 tickets? Or does somebody already have a ticket/have other plans? Definitely, I don't know if I can get a hold of any, so if someone wants to buddy up with me, that'd be cool. I'm all for going on Wednesday, that'd be sweet, give me something to do whilst I wait around for a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Good stuff. From the MSE site there are a few ways to get 2for1s: "Buy promo packs (with '2for1 entry' image on front) of Fox's biscuits incl Rocky, Fox’s Mini Party Rings, Fox’s Crunch Creams and Fox’s Favourites assortments. Costs vary, but are on average about £1.30" "Spend £10+ at Co-op stores and you'll be given 2x 2for1 vouchers with the receipt." "Spend £4 at Welcome Break motorway services in WHSmith, Waitrose, Eat In and Fuel Shops and you'll be given a 2x 2for1 vouchers." Anyone think they can get their hands on any of these? I think it would be best to get a few extra, that way if somebody forgets then we aren't screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Wheee, exciting, I've not been to Alton Towers in ages. I don't know if anyone near me wants a lift, I'm happy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goafer Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 The park opens at 10, so meet there for then? Peeps, it's a 2 hour drive from Banbury, so meet at the train station for 8? If it's too early, we can make it later if you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm for up 10 oclock, I might be late/early depending how it goes, meet in the massive area before you get the tickets? Seems sensible enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goafer Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Sounds like a plan to me. 10am, outside the park, Wednesday 17th August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peeps Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'll sort a train out when I get home tonight, should be fine. I've got Tuesday off too so I'll be able to have an early night if I need it :p thanks for the lift! Will pm my number too. --- just looked at the train prices and the cheapest is £35 which I just wouldn't be able to afford (along with everything else). So as it stands I will not be able to attend.

MoogleViper Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Bugger. Is there no other way you could get down? If there's only gonna be three of us then we need another voucher. I've found this http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/alton-towers-better-than-half-price-kids-13-adults-18-raring2go/989473 which makes a ticket only £18. But it says you need a copy of the magazine to redeem the voucher. Don't know if anyone can get their hands on any (it says it's distributed in primary schools and libraries etc. so if anyone has a library near them that they could check). You can send off for a copy, but you have to send them a stamped, addressed envelope. And I doubt it would arrive in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yeah the trains around Banbury are buggered at the moment with engineering. I was looking into going to London soon and there's no direct route for at least 2 weeks and I'm sure the price has gone up. I may just go from Milton Keynes, it's £14 instead of £35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I might see if my mate wants to join us, he lives in Burton, that'd make a four . I'll get back to you if he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goafer Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 I've got us some 2 for 1 things (party rings FTW). I got 3 vouchers, so we're covered for up to 6 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 So who is actually going then? My friend still hasn't got back to me about it - he's a bit poor at the moment, so I'll just jump down by myself. Is there 3 or 4 of us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Currently 3 of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If you cant find any or the offers over send me a pm with your address and I have a spare one I can pop it in the post to you if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goafer Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Cheers, although I don't think it would arrive in time. We go Wednesday and even if it were sent tomorrow with overnight delivery, I'm leaving before the post would arrive Wednesday. Thanks anyway though. The gesture is much appreciated! Worse comes to worse, we can just ask other people in the queue if they have an odd amount of people and want to split a 2 for 1 between the 2 odd people. I see people do that all the time.
