All prices are subject to change. How to get this offerTo take advantage of this Passholder Perk, please call 08444 77 44 44 and quote "Passholder Friends and Family offer". Looks like the cheapest way is to book through the perk, since an adult ticket when booked online for Thorpe is about £24.99. Since most guests won't have a MAP, it makes sense for the park to advertise that the "cheapest" tickets are from the main online booking.

0 pognoi Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thanks alot Josh. Do you know the ticket limit for this aswell? (How many tickets you can book through your MAP?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JoshC. Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 No idea to be honest. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking the limit is either 6 or 10 guests (no idea why though ). Best thing to do would to be to ask Merlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pluk Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 The cheapest way to get tickets is nearly always 'corporate deals', if you can find someone who works for a Merlin affiliated company or has signed up to the 'perkz' scheme you'll get them a few quid dheaper than those prices.

0 Benin Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 The real cheapest way is to make friends with someone who works for Merlin and visit the park with them... Boom, potential free entry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pognoi Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Meh, I have a friend who's at Chessington who's kind enough to give me vouchers for my MAP. Without him I'd probably not be as interested or active here as I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 OldFarmerDean Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 So how do you go about getting these annual pass discount tickets... I see you need to ring up a number and can get the guest to ring instead of the pass holder... But is the payment made over the phone or when you collect the tickets on the day, and then where would you collect the ticket from? Thanks.

The payment is made over the phone and you collect the tickets at the normal collection place on the day. The payment card/merlin pass needs to be present when collecting the ticket. Hope this helps OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
