A question about : Two free tickets to Alton Towers or 2 for 1 at Zoos & theme parks nationwide
What's the deal?
Whether it's Alton Towers, Thorpe Park or a range of theme parks and Zoos around the country, there are a few seriously good deals around for days out. Better still many of them can be got now but used in the Summer.
Two Ways To Get to Alton Towers Dirt Cheap
Two free (£25) tickets to Alton Towers for £1.40 - £2.50. The Sun newspaper is giving away a pair of free tickets to Alton Towers if you collect 7 differently numbered tokens between now and 6 March and you must apply by 10 March.
Each copy of The Sun costs 20-35p so the most you'll have to pay is £2.45. Adult tickets usually retail for about £25 each so this is a snip in comparison!
Yet you don't choose your day; instead you select a date range and tickets are sent on a first come, first served basis for a specific date. This does mean you may be sent 'term-time school-day' tickets which could be a problem. See full details.
2 for 1 Alton Towers Tickets. The theme park deal below includes Alton towers, so use that if the Sun deal isn't flexible enough
2 for 1 at theme parks and attractions nationwide
Pick up a promotional pack of Tetley Tea (the cheapest is about £1.50) and you get a 2 for 1 voucher which can be used at Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Madame Tussauds, The Dungeons, Chessington World of Adventures, Legoland, Warwick Castle & Sea Life Centers. See full details
2 for 1 at Zoos nationwide
Kellogg's are giving away 2 for 1 zoo/aquarium entry vouchers on special packs of cereal. A typical day out at some zoos can cost a jumbo £46 for a family of four, so this offer is almost zoo good to be true. See full details

- Hi, i saw the advert for these on the tele, rushed out to buy 6 copies as need them for all the family, only to read it as Alton Towers Resort tickets. Is this right???? :confused: I went onto the sun website for further details and this is what it says

Im not too sure if this is for a ticket to the resort facilites as mentioned above or the amusement park :confused:
Can anyone help as i dont want use of the resort facilities just the amusement park so dont wanna grab anymore newspapers just in case!
Thanks for the tetley teabag offer, im off to Thorpe Park end of march so will come in mega handy!! - The paper has the Alton Towers logo stating resort, but the small print says theme park.
HOWEVER...you get allocated tickets on a date Alton Towers give you...non transferrable too. you can specify which time of year by selecting one of their seven bands of dates but even your first choice isn't guaranteed with that.
A great deal if you want to go at some point this year, but not so good if you're restricted to weekends/school holidays.
