Tickets for Alton Towers purchased online in advance start at £32, compared with £68 when bought at the gate. The Independent reported that advance booking can reduce the price by up to 50 per cent and allows visitors to avoid peak dates. Two-for-one vouchers are offered through partner brands such as Kellogg’s, Cadbury, and Carex.
The same report stated that these vouchers provide a second day at Alton Towers or another Merlin park at no additional charge.
Short-break packages begin at £42 per person and include overnight accommodation, breakfast, and early park access. Parent-and-toddler tickets start at £29 on selected off-peak dates, with an additional child aged five or under admitted for £5. Student tickets priced at £21 are available after verification through Unidays or Student Beans.
The Independent noted that weekday visits outside school holidays typically carry the lowest advance prices.
May half-term short breaks are listed from £70 per person, with the new Bluey-themed roller coaster among the season’s attractions. Annual Gold and Merlin passes provide free parking, percentage discounts on food and retail, and reduced hotel rates.
A family of four booking four advance tickets would pay approximately £136, saving £136 compared with gate prices. The Independent stated that most offers cannot be combined beyond one discount code per booking.
