Alton Towers Merchandise

A pity that they have sold out already though you'd imagine they might get more in stock before the main Scarefest week. The new pins are really good quality as well!

:)
 
According to a post on the map group on Facebook somebody purchased 10 boxes of badges at the weekend lol

Pretty sure I saw one guy on FB a few days ago offering to pick up a Scarefest badge for any one of his FB mates. I think he had 16 orders at the time. That probably didn't help.........
 
Nobbers at TowersTrading have put the Scarefest badges out again for the weekend trade only. Was up there Monday and last night and was told there was none in stock. Apparently they must have had a late Friday night delivery or something then ready for this morning............

Seems like a strategy to have stuff available for weekend custom and screw people who can't get there at those times. Both weekends now with none in-between. They'll all be gone after the weekend again now. Thanks for nothing Towers.

Absolute rubbish.

Could you email them and complain? I'm sure they would send you one.

I left a message on their FB page about an hour ago. Same rubbish non-helpful reply as usual. I'll just make my own or something lol. They'll obviously all be gone forever after today anyway and the FB people are probably based in Zimbabwe or something so I doubt they can just pop to Towers trading to send me one :)

Edit - But yeah, I will be complaining. I'm gonna make a right drama over not being able to get this badge because I perpetrate the crime of working weekends. It's a pathetic quest but I shall continue it with a vigour that it truly does not deserve! :)
 
Over the fireworks weekend, Alton released 900 (so I've been told) fireworks 2017 pin badges. They released 600 on Saturday which sold out by around 11am.

I was given heads up on the fact they they were releasing the remaining 300 on Sunday. So first thing we headed straight to the Towers shop and they were limiting the badges to 1 per person. Shortly after we purchased 2, they then limited the pin badges to 1 per transaction.

It was manic in the shop as everyone was trying to purchase one or more.

I didn't put our 2nd pin badge on ebay to sell for a hefty profit, we gave it away to a good friend of ours who works at the park who collects pin badges.

This is a pic of ours

I can't believe they sold out so quick! Same with the sw8 car stickers & vouchers. You can tell the enthusiasts come out at fireworks :p
 
Already loads on eBay being sold for the delightful price of £50

Glad it sounds like they limited these though, hopefully it cut down on those buying in bulk to sell on.

I managed to buy 3 on Sunday morning without nothing being said(I only heard about this 1pp on fb later In the day).
I think it’s pretty stupid only having 900 for the weekend when they have 40k+ guests.
Seems to me like a complete farce but I guess they have there reasons.
