It’s pretty straightforward: you buy one ticket, and the second person gets in for free. No catch—well, almost none. You usually need a specific code from a partner—like a cereal box, a newspaper, or an online promo. (Remember cutting out coupons from magazines? It’s that, but less messy.)
The voucher covers the standard entrance fee, so you’re still paying for parking, fast passes, and overpriced burgers. But the savings are real: a full adult ticket costs around £40–£50, so you’re effectively saving a whole ticket’s worth. That’s a round of drinks at the bar later, or a nice souvenir hoodie you definitely need.
Most vouchers have an expiry date and some blackout periods—like summer weekends or bank holidays. Read the small print, even if it’s boring. Nothing kills the vibe like showing up with a smile and being told “sorry, this code expired yesterday.” Trust me, Dave’s face taught me everything about avoiding that.
Where do you actually find these golden tickets?
They pop up in the most random places. Kellogg’s cereal boxes are a classic—grab a pack of Frosties and you’re golden. (Yes, breakfast of champions literally.) The Merlin Annual Pass website also runs promotions, especially if you’re already a pass holder for another park. Newspapers like The Sun or Daily Mirror often print them, so don’t throw away the weekend supplement too fast.
Online is where the savviest hunters go. Thorpe Park’s official Facebook page shares flash codes sometimes, and dedicated forums like HotUKDeals have users posting live links. (Pro tip: set a notification for “Thorpe Park voucher” and feel like a ninja.) Just avoid scammy sites promising “unlimited free tickets”—those almost always lead to disappointment and spam emails.
