Blackpool attraction carer tickets?

Has anyone been to Blackpool recently and bought tickets online?

A few years ago we did but to get the carer ticket we had to collect them in person at the tourist office, just wondered if this was still the case?

Which attractions? We went to Madame Tussauds and got a carers ticket. Think I just paid online and got the ticket on my phone. Couple of years ago though

They are just called attraction tickets. You can buy whichever combination you want. I just wondered if you still had to show proof to collect form somewhere or if they are mobile tickets and you just show proof at each venue.

Sorry, if it's just on the phone I will plan to carry the proof with me each day.

I'm seriously overthinking this, I know, but I like to know what to expect and last time we did it the collecting of tickets was quite a faff!!

Do you have an access card? I got one recently for my daughter and hers has a career on it. She has gone to Thorpe Park today with a free career with her.

there is also a fabulous fb group for access card with really knowledgable people on it.

Career, not career

FFS carer not career

No I don't, I refuse to pay for something I don't need. Blackpool attractions give free entry for carers, you don't need a card.

Sorry if that sounds blunt, I don't know how to word it any better but I feel quite strongly about disabled people and their carers paying 3rd parties for needless plastic

You need to look at each attraction for their policies. Merlin run a number of attractions in Blackpool and offer a free carers ticket: support.theblackpooltower.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002805711-Am-I-entitled-to-a-free-carer-ticket-if-I-m-registered-disabled-

Thanks, I know you get the ticket I just don't know if you still have to collect it or if you show proof to each venue. The website doesn't say.

Sorry ignore that, the link clarifies your take the proof to the venues Blush

Thank you so much, I couldn't see that for looking!!
