Mattgwise Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I know the season has barely started but has anyone seen any 2for1 vouchers floating around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yes! Kellogg's are currently doing a 2 for 1 merlin offer on selected boxes. Mattgwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thorpe have now got a new ticketing system on their website - much nicer and easier to use than the old one The FAQ's suggest it supports tickets to mobile phones too which will be nice and could save a lot of time from people collecting tickets if people take advantage.

JamminGamer Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thorpe have now got a new ticketing system on their website - much nicer and easier to use than the old one The FAQ's suggest it supports tickets to mobile phones too which will be nice and could save a lot of time from people collecting tickets if people take advantage. Had a look and the system seems much more compact and easier to use although I did notice that there was no Annual Pass holder ticket option for Summer Nights even though there is one for Fright Nights so I'm hoping that they just forgot to add that in especially since it's still advertised as a £5 entry on the Summer Nights page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 unless it's free now? JamminGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 unless it's free now? That would be great but I doubt it They probably just forgot to add the option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 The new ticket system online is alot better. I think it's easier to navigate your way around it, and I like the way it looks. I hope they do make it so you can just simply scan the barcode on your phone rather than having to que and get it printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 As Fred has already highlighted, it seems the system is in conjunction with the Lo-Q system; with almost guarantee that Lo-Q is coming to Thorpe based on the weblink he posted in another topic. What's interesting though is that the two can be used in perfect harmony on a smartphone, and also has the opportunity (by the looks of it) for one shots, package fastracks, even meal deals and such like - so hopefully the park will use this new system to their advantage.

jon81uk Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Sounds like this is the new ticketing system that was mentioned in Merlin's financial report presentation. It does look very good, much slicker than the old system and Alton Towers booking pages, although Chessington's new system of showing what price it will be on days is almost as good as Thorpe's.

Brancam Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I just booked two two-day tickets on the new ticket system... I just got an email saying I bought 4 and it has charged me £124! I don't think there's a way to get a refund and I don't know what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David B Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Does anybody know if tickets bought in advance are refundable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I think all tickets are non refundable but I think you can change the dates on them for a 5pound fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 For anyone interested in such things Walkers grab bags are currently carrying half price vouchers, which are much better than the bogofs that are everywhere in case you end up with an odd number.

Toby Tidal Wave Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Went to the park the other week, the guy selling tickets (friends had 2for1) said you would be suprised by the amount of people who actually buy normal tickets on the day! When they can pay 3 pound extra for a season ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 In the words of merlin themselves anyone who buys on the gate without any sort of discount is an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 For anyone interested in such things Walkers grab bags are currently carrying half price vouchers, which are much better than the bogofs that are everywhere in case you end up with an odd number. Walkers are doing this because thier Pulled Pork crisps advert was filmed at Thorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Remember between 2003-2005 they had vouchers for other parks on the backs of the maps? (For instance a Thorpe map would have Chessie and Alton and Chessie would have Alton and Thorpe and so on...) That was just damm-right useful!

Mattgwise Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 This is interesting. Thorpe Park are going for an off peak and peak pricing strategy this year. The gate price is extortianate! Technically a £10 increase on last year if you visit holidays or weekends!!!! Off Peak: £49.99 Peak £59.99 https://www.thorpepark.com/tickets-passes/ticket-information/tickets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
