Santa’s Lapland Uk tickets

Hi, I’ve had a look and can’t see another thread so thought I’d add one. It’s my first time trying for tickets. London is too far for us, but they’ve opened one in Manchester so trying to get tickets this year. Anyone else trying to get tickets today? Any words of advice for tickets or the event itself?

I got tickets! They’ve cost a bloody fortune, I thought the £80 starting price was a realistic price but it’s no where near! But nothing was sold out or unavailable. Just bloody expensive! Good luck everyone

I forgot to get in the queue at 12. Currently 148,000 ahead of me for Ascot 🫠

I had a look and it was available so I just stayed on the page? It’s just opened now and I’m in place 5,000 so don’t think it worked!

5000 is actually very good, so stay on that page!

Stay in the queues. Last year we were 80000something but got tickets. Lots of people I think register multiple accounts and so once gets tickets then log out the queue. There was plenty of choice of dates even 5 hours later we got them.

Im at 82,789 despite having the screen open about 50 minutes before. Although i think you are randomly assigned a place. Definitely not holding my breath 😅

I’ve just gone on the website and it’s let me join a queue. But it said on the email that they’ll email a place so I’m not sure what I’m doing. I don’t have to keep the website open on my phone so I’m just sorting out the house and checking randomly

How come? It doesn’t open until 12?

Blixem · 31/03/2025 11:56

Are you in a queue already? It just says I'll be given a place in the queue at 12 on the website.

I'll be in the queue for ascot. My LO will be almost 4 so hoping it's a good age.

We went last year, it was lovely. Eye wateringly expensive but when you get there you can see why, the production of it, the sets etc is like nothing else. My only niggle is the last section with reindeer on the way to Santa was a bit lacklustre and could have done with some characters there, or something to entertain as there was a long queue. But that was Ascot.

You think 90mins in the elf village is loads of time but it will fly by, so pick the main thing you want to do there and get it done first.

People do go year after year, but I don't think we will, mainly because you can't recreate that wonder of seeing everything for the first time, and that's what made it special for us.

The Facebook group LaplandUK fan chat is very good to join. Every question you can think of has probably been asked and answered on there!

First time for me today too! But for Ascot. Daughter is 4 in July so I’m really hoping we are lucky today. I’m not fussed about going to an earlier date if it works out cheaper too.
