I'm going to buy all the tickets so I can have the place to myself!

OMG making money from this, i remember breaking into building sites and messing about on the diggers, how things have changed......... and on the way home still had enough change for a fish supper.

Trains are much faster since steam locomotives were retired. :laughing:

1 letter away from disaster there

Yeh people on facebook saying they needed 2-3 and got 6 anyway

Wish I hadn't voted this hot in advance of the day - may have alerted less people!

as far as i'm aware all the tickets sold

you basically had to scroll down through the crashed pages and find links like view cart / checkout / pay with paypal to get it to load the next step (in my experience with it)

would have been nice if people weren't so greedy buying more than they needed so that everyone could have some

It was a joke trying to get though. That's an hour of my life I wont get back!!!!

page wont even load up waste of time

now the booking agent yapsody has scheduled maintenance!

That's an hour of my life I wont get back.... what a joke!

Couldn't even get on the site from 9am! Total waste of my time. Well done to those that did get tickets though...

I just printed mine- got through @ 10:45 in the end- keep refreshing the congratulations page.

Didn't have this issue last year, although the offer was £5.

i got a reference transaction number for my tickets but still dont know if I was succesful

yes i have confirmation of two tickets for the 20th

All tickets are sold out despite nobody being able to buy one because their servers are toasted... Seems legit :wink:

i managed to buy 2 tickets apparently

i'll let you know, not had confirmation but managed to pay with paypal

I got as far as how many tickets would I like then crashed again

Give up now, their facebook page says everything is sold out

I got an email about this which had a different ticket link to the one on their facebook page. That's what I've been trying and it hasn't worked but if you click on the one on their facebook page it works but takes you to a page that says your tickets have been delivered, without me paying. What an absolute hash they've made of this!

Diggerland
Just now ·
Thank you for trying to purchase 11p tickets. We have now SOLD OUT. Another offer will launch soon - email us at [email protected] to be added to our mailing list.


What a joke...not a single person on the facebook page has been able to get any

link is not working how do you get the tickets????? or is it a scam

I found a Diggerland ticket nailed to a tree once so I took it... You never know when you are going to need a nail

I'm just wondering now if this is just a scam - hoping that parents will tell their children in advance of buying the 11p tickets, and then after not being able to get on the site, made to feel guilty so that they go and pay the full price for the tickets (so as to not upset their children - I haven't told my 9 year old about this yet, just in case this did happen)!

I got as far as how many tickets would I like then crashed again

i can get to the number of tickets needed but then it crashes

Anyone know if the 1 near york has sold out? Been trying to just look at the site since 8.30 and havnt got on once!

i managed to get on and select 4 tickets then got a white screen, now it says durham is sold out

I keep on getting on but not getting very far!

It's a joke, keeps on saying the sale has ended, then it's back again

All gone by 10.10. took me that long to get through... :disappointed:

How people manage to get through and book tickets?

Be easier if they said where the tickets were still available, so the rest of us can get off the website...

i try load page at 9am was not working then and now it never loaded.

Those on facebook have said the same!

Just printed my three tickets off.

I managed to get on and it says they have all gone :/

They just posted this comment on their facebook page

Our website currently has over 10,000 people trying to access it all at once. Some people are getting through and are booking tickets. Please keep trying. We do have some tickets still available.

Well if they were gearing up to a heavy load around 10am, but this load happened much sooner than prepared for, because of all these pushy parents, I wonder?

So why have people been on the site since 6-8am - is this the problem?!

It says "online sale ended" now! that was worth it weren't it!!

Bodes well for Thorpe Park's offer, not!

site wont load been on it since 8am !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got "Congratulations! Your tickets have been delivered!" but no where to choose pay email etc, nothing

Nope :disappointed:

been trying since 7am, just bought 6

Still can't get on - has anybody managed to?

got block from it at 10 this morning been ready with page open since 8 am . cant get on it now typical

Still not working, pot luck who ever gets these

I knew it is going to be hard but the situation is a bit disappointing. Everyone wants cheap 12p Diggerland tickets.

Site already crashed and the deal isn't even live :confused:

Surprise surprise!

Websites already down and its only 8.30

Thank you my kids are young enough to enjoy this :smile:

Do you still have to pay more once you are in?

Is a good place for a 9 year old boy and 6 year old girl?

What time does the sale of the tickets start, does anybody know??

Must it? I have to be a bit cagey in what I say but I know engineers horrified by how Diggerland use the machines they designed.

Diggerland is great fun for kids who are about 4/5 or more. Less than that I think it is a bit too rough. My 7 year old grandson loves it.

Sounds good but trust me it will be a nightmare to get moved rather pay full price and actually get to do something lol

OMG making money from this, i remember breaking into building sites and messing about on the diggers, how things have changed......... and on the way home still had enough change for a fish supper.

IS THIS LEGALS?

All it needs is just one accidental typo and you could have people on streets protesting. lol. Heat though.

Misread the title - would be a good idea for a theme park though.

Terrible place. Really run down. My child got injured and I first aiders and they wouldn't give me a first aid kit. Should be shut down.

Kids will love thius, thanx

All will be excitement and expectation. Buy tickets for kids.

They restrict the rpm on them, can't pick up nearly as much weight as they should be able to. Where an unrestricted digger would rev up with load on the bucket these just do not, they just fail to lift the bucket.

I actually went for one of the skid steer racing days that they hold after the park shuts and they do derestrict those for the racing. I think they normally do about 3 mph when the park is open but for the races about 10mph.

My Daughters had a great time, well worth it it you can make it

****

Had some good days out there with the kids..... And their dad loved the JCB's.... :sunglasses:

Took son to one in Castleford a few years back. Crazy place. We excavated a hole when the digger was right by the side of it. I was worried the digger would topple in. Then sat in a big bucket on a giant scissor lift thing and it lifted us up hundreds of feet. Felt like it was going to tip forward. Even hook a duck was done with a mini digger. Sure it must be safe, but playing around with industrial equipment had a real sense of danger I thought.

I just wonder where can I buy the ticket? thanks x

I'm fairly sure that was always dangerous.

How come it takes longer now from Cornwall to London Paddington than before, then?

Can you buy tickets by the bucket load :smirk:

Is there a limit on how many tickets you can buy?

Once went to this so called kids entertainment venue
What a load of ****, got a refund and left with 10 mins

Mum celebrated her 60th birthday here, loved it!

We've been twice to the one in Willand (Devon). The last time we went was on 1 March 2015 - think there was an offer on then for half price tickets (must have been around 16 customers only - early afternoon). It was bitterly cold on the day, but we all wrapped up well and had a lot of fun. If I can get some of these tickets, I'll go again, but this time hope that the weather is a little warmer.

1 letter away from disaster there

great deal if you can get it. With only 234 11p tickets per day per site, I wouldn't expect it to be that busy as a direct result of this deal.

yeah way too slow.. now, they never used to be a few years back.

Would be more fun if they derestricted the diggers

Shame Worcester isn't open yet the others are too far for me :disappointed:

link isn't working now, how will it work on 15th??????

There's a chart on the website that says what ride they can go on according to height. I was going to take mine at 2 but there's very little for their height although your little ones may be taller than mine.

Trains are much faster since steam locomotives were retired. :laughing:

Is there an upper age limit? :smile:

Any idea what time it will be from?

Hot deal

Plenty for your younger kids
They also had an indoor soft play at Lanchester (Durham) when we took our kids a few years back before the Landrover that you could go off roading in on the site tipped upside down into the river

My boy was about 20 months and my daughter was 6yrs last time we went. There was plenty for her and a few things for the little one, but not many. There're probably a little young to get the most out of it and it will be VERY VERY busy and a lot of queuing...

​I think that's a brilliant idea!! :laughing:

I haven't been before but there's one near me I'm in Newcastle so could goto the one at durham, my boys are 2 1/2 & 1 1/2 if anyone has been before do you think it would be ok to take them? there both crazy on any type of vehicles but I don't want to drag them all the way to Durham if it's more for the older kids? any advice would be really appreciated :smiley: thanks

Bargain, but it will be carnage that weekend at Diggerland, was bad enough when they did the £5 tickets.
