Question Is there anywhere giving away Alton Towers tickets?

Just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere, any shop, any product etc in which you can get free Alton Towers tickets?

I don't mind if it's 2 for 1 etc, just wondering what offers are out there.

I'd love to try that, but I'd probably be a bit over the top!

We got some free ones when someone puked on the Enterprise ride, to clean it they hosed it down and then ran it empty which showered the crown with partially chewed lumps of half digested chips and burger, luckily me and J4ckos mate we behind the opreators little hut so avoided the flying lumps, girl near us copped for a third of a burger (people should chew their food more). J4ckos mate was dissapointed, stood there with his mouth open but he isnt quick enough these days.

We complained despite getting away unscathed and got 4 free tickets, they were aware of the incident and operating procedures have been amended, they apologised profusely

If its hammered when you go buy one of the fast track passes, bought the cheap one and it saved a huge amount of time think it was Oblivion, Air, Nemesis, log flume (sit at the back with a poncho on, let the lesser mortals at the front get p!ss wet through)

Also walked straight up to Rita (ignore the cable car thingy) and got on twice, no queue Came off second time ……… huge queue !!

Yup - my wife REALLY let rip when she saw that - and we got free tickets from work THAT day as well!

If it wasn't for that last damn hill in Alton I'd bloody cycle there (close enough to!) and stand the damn bike in a parking space.

Save enough clubcard points and you can get an annual-pass for about £30 in vouchers. This lets you in for free basically as many times as you like within a 12 month period. They also let you in 30 minutes earlier than the general public, and you get to park for free. Oh and you get a discount on grub as well...

oh and it's also valid at Thorpe Park, Chessington, Legoland, Sealife Centres, Warwick castle.... etc etc..

Annual Pass

Bargain

And remember, the only way to do Alton Towers is in September or October, preferably just before it closes for the winter, nothing like 10 trips round on Oblivion without waiting, compare and contrast with a 3 hour wait to get on Nemesis in the Middle of August.

On a weekday too Did that last year, my missus wanted to call it a day after we went on Rita about six times in succession after doing all the other coasters at least a couple of times, except Air which was having technical difficulties . I would have kept going until it closed

It's nearly £40 each How many coins do you carry in your pocket? Do you not get weighed down? Or get rusty when you get wet?
