OK guys, hope someone can benefit from this?
I'm taking my kids on a theme park tour of the UK later this month and was looking for the cheapest way to get my tickets and this turned out to be the best option for us.
Let's take the standard family pass as an example, but this works with all types of passes:
Currently, Merlin have reduced their MAP family tickets to £129 each, but you can get a further 20% off this price with an "over the phone" code.
There are a few codes floating around on the internet, but I wanted to be legit, so I signed up for the £1 3 month trial for the Gourmet Society card, which entitles you to 20% discount on the MAP (see below).
You can sign up here: https://www.gourmetsociety.co.uk/
It only takes a minute and you get a membership number, which you aren't asked for on the phone by the way. :wink:
Once done, phone Merlin on 08444 77 44 44 and quote "Gourmet" at some point in the conversation, thus reducing the MAP from £129 to £103.20.
As mentioned above, this also works for both types of standard and premium passes.
I've seen people selling this code on eBay for £10!
Standard Individual MAP - £169 reduces to £135.20
Standard Family MAP - £129 reduces to £103.20
Premium Individual MAP - £209 reduces to £167.20
Premium Family MAP - £169 reduces to £135.20
It should be noted that a family can be 3, 4, 5 or 6 people (see below).
Family of 3 – consisting of either two individuals 12 years of age and over and one individual under 12 years of age, or one individual 12 years of age and over and two individuals under 12 years of age;
Family of 4 – consisting of either two individuals 12 years of age and over and two individuals under 12 years of age, or one individual 12 years of age and over and three individuals under 12 years of age;
Family of 5 – consisting of either two individuals 12 years of age and over and three individuals under 12 years of age, or one individual 12 years of age and over and four individuals under 12 years of age;
Family of 6 – consisting of either two individuals 12 years of age and over and four individuals under 12 years of age, or one individual 12 years of age and over and five individuals under 12 years of age.
If anyone doesn't know, the Merlin Annual Pass gets you a year's worth of free entry to Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures, LEGO Land, Sealife Centres, The Dungeons, Blackpool Tower, Madame Tussauds, Warwick Castle and more.
You also get exclusive pass holder benefits, such as 20% off Theme Park accommodation, discounts in the theme parks, discounts on entry for friends and family, discounts on food and drink and more.

Been buying the premium pass for 6 years at £73 for a family of 5. Now it cost 109 to renew still a good value for money as every weekend we are in a them park. Plus you get free parking instead of £6

We got 3 premium passes for the first time in the Jan sale for £357 used nearly 3k already....best thing we ever brought :smiley:
biscuits1
10 Aug 16#14
Is it worth getting the premium as we are a family of 3 so an extra £90? I also don't need to visit London in August.
stainless77 to biscuits1
10 Aug 161#22
Only get one premium pass and the rest as standard. That way you'll save on parking and still save money on passes
jadedweasel
10 Aug 16#15
Definitely get the premium, if only to avoid the parking charges at Thorpe and Alton. You can also see the fireworks special at Alton which is ridiculous. My wife and I had these last year and it was fantastic.
cutthroat_jake to jadedweasel
10 Aug 16#20
I think parking's only £6, so you'd need to work out if it's worth the extra just for parking.

so for a family pass 12 months is £103?
cutthroat_jake to kaykayrocks
10 Aug 16#19
£103 each and at least one adult in the "family"
toffeefudge to kaykayrocks
10 Aug 16#21
That is how much it is per person
jadedweasel
10 Aug 161#23
And to remove the time spent mucking about with the ticket machines on the way out... we are quite local so visited little and often.
markvickymax
10 Aug 16#24
can you mix the passes up? didn't used to be able to
cutthroat_jake
10 Aug 162#25
The guy on the phone told me that I could buy one individual pass and then a family of 3 passes.
£169 discounted to £135.20 and £129 discounted to £103.20 x3. By my calculation, that would be £444.80, instead of £412.80, so you're paying an extra £32 for one Premium Pass.
jackiefarrell
10 Aug 16#27
Don't forget if anyone in your party claims DLA (disability living allowance) and buys an annual pass, a carer is allowed one free of charge.
Also you can "buy" them with Tesco points.

£50 worth of Clubcard vouchers gets you a Standard Annual Pass.
richardsimpson1234
10 Aug 16#29
Last year we bought them but only upgraded one to premium. Only benefit we wanted was the parking. We all travel as a family anyway so it didn't really matter who had the premium one.
cutthroat_jake to richardsimpson1234
10 Aug 16#30
If you decide later to upgrade from a Standard to a Premium pass, that can be done for £50.

Thanks opp really appreciate this got my family a pass today collecting from sealife centre today. God bless u

10 Aug 16#34
I take it these passes require you to show some ID when using them at the parks, to stop you from letting other relations/friends using them?
russellanam to pc5020
10 Aug 161#35
They don't but they have photos printed on them so sometimes (rarely) they check the photo with you(r face).
ednaworthy
10 Aug 16#36
if you get a premium pass you also get 3 x vouchers per pass to take friends/family for £10 each which is great when most theme parks are £50, and you also get 3 x £5 fast track passes for Thorpe, Chessington and alton towers. well worth the extra money imo.
niks_b
10 Aug 16#37
Best thing with premium passes is you get to be first for every ride - no waiting time lost at any attraction. Standard pass holders go into normal queue.

Not true am a premium pass holder and I had to wait in que as everybody else at alton towers and thorpe park. London eye I didn't have to que due to having premium pass

Has anyone called this number? Apparently it is a premium rate number, 13p per minute. Is there an alternative number?

you get to be at top of the queue in Legoland as well. Also I guess it's mentioned in Premium Pass specs on Merlin's site.

Hehe. We're doing 9 theme parks (loose definition for a few there) in 10 days and over 35 decent coasters.

£135.20 x 6 = £811.20, plus an extra £1 for the Gourmet Society membership.
cutthroat_jake
11 Aug 16#52
Yes, you can. This also works out as a good deal, especially if you've entered the park on a 2for1 deal, as they take off the full price of the ticket without checking (most of the time).

Same here apart from London eye where you get priority in the que.

zabada

That seems a rather unreasonable expectation, given that there are really quite a few corporate discount codes easily accessible on the internet. For example, a childcare voucher provider gives the same discount, see http://www.computersharevoucherservices.com/parents/Documents/Merlin_Pricing_2016.pdf
(plenty more if you google "merlin pass 103.20") and surely there is no need to provide evidence that one belongs to the scheme?
ezepze
15 Aug 16#67
I bought the pass last week after signing up for the trial membership at Gourmet, and was not asked to bring along the card as a proof when I collected the pass from London Sealife Aquarium. They did ask for the membership number on the phone though, but you get that when you sign up immediately on an email. Might be worth trying to call them again and see how a different customer rep deals with your call

Hello Everyone,
If you have paid for the membership, then you can download their smartphone app (android and apple). Then use the reference number from the invoice and append "aa" to that at the start along with the 3 month expiry date of the membership when sigining in to their app. You will then have access to your digital membership card. The card can be viewed buy picking any venue and a link on the bottom of the screen will display your card.
if you are unsure call their free line number 0800 043 1978.
Happy days all.
Regards,
grosz

does anybody know how much it will cost for two parent's and 7 children oldest 12 and yongest 9 month
cutthroat_jake
16 Aug 16#70
You need the family of 6 tickets (1 adult and 5 kids), then another family of three ticket (1 adult and 2 kids), so the cost would be:
8 x £103.20 for the standard passes = £825.6
or 8 x £135.20 for the premium passes = £1,081.60
zabada

I guess children less than 3 y.o. would not need a pass for most if not all attractions?

Did anyone else get asked to prove the card when collecting passes please?

Opening post
I'm taking my kids on a theme park tour of the UK later this month and was looking for the cheapest way to get my tickets and this turned out to be the best option for us.
Let's take the standard family pass as an example, but this works with all types of passes:
Currently, Merlin have reduced their MAP family tickets to £129 each, but you can get a further 20% off this price with an "over the phone" code.
There are a few codes floating around on the internet, but I wanted to be legit, so I signed up for the £1 3 month trial for the Gourmet Society card, which entitles you to 20% discount on the MAP (see below).
You can sign up here:
https://www.gourmetsociety.co.uk/
It only takes a minute and you get a membership number, which you aren't asked for on the phone by the way. :wink:
Once done, phone Merlin on 08444 77 44 44 and quote "Gourmet" at some point in the conversation, thus reducing the MAP from £129 to £103.20.
As mentioned above, this also works for both types of standard and premium passes.
I've seen people selling this code on eBay for £10!
Standard Individual MAP - £169 reduces to £135.20
Standard Family MAP - £129 reduces to £103.20
Premium Individual MAP - £209 reduces to £167.20
Premium Family MAP - £169 reduces to £135.20
It should be noted that a family can be 3, 4, 5 or 6 people (see below).
Family of 3 – consisting of either two individuals 12 years of age and over and one individual under 12 years of age, or one individual 12 years of age and over and two individuals under 12 years of age;
Family of 4 – consisting of either two individuals 12 years of age and over and two individuals under 12 years of age, or one individual 12 years of age and over and three individuals under 12 years of age;
Family of 5 – consisting of either two individuals 12 years of age and over and three individuals under 12 years of age, or one individual 12 years of age and over and four individuals under 12 years of age;
Family of 6 – consisting of either two individuals 12 years of age and over and four individuals under 12 years of age, or one individual 12 years of age and over and five individuals under 12 years of age.
If anyone doesn't know, the Merlin Annual Pass gets you a year's worth of free entry to Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures, LEGO Land, Sealife Centres, The Dungeons, Blackpool Tower, Madame Tussauds, Warwick Castle and more.
You also get exclusive pass holder benefits, such as 20% off Theme Park accommodation, discounts in the theme parks, discounts on entry for friends and family, discounts on food and drink and more.

£169 discounted to £135.20 and £129 discounted to £103.20 x3. By my calculation, that would be £444.80, instead of £412.80, so you're paying an extra £32 for one Premium Pass.
Also you can "buy" them with Tesco points.

Has anyone called this number? Apparently it is a premium rate number, 13p per minute. Is there an alternative number?
Been a long time in the planning as my youngest son just broke through the magical 1.4m! :wink:
(plenty more if you google "merlin pass 103.20") and surely there is no need to provide evidence that one belongs to the scheme?
