Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2026 Discussion

Ten years or so age they had the entry fee but they also had an entry + any ride ticket for about £10, using that made the entry fee just a few £ and meant anyone who wanted to go on 2 or 3 other rides had a genuine alternative to a wristband.

This is... not that.
 
The “Big One Ticket”, as I seem to remember it being called, allowed you entry and a ride on Big One or any other single ride. That was £15 around 2015, and when park entry was £5-6.

It’s more than ten years on. The equivalent ticket will now cost you around £30 based on what we know. Adjusted just for base inflation the 2015 Big One ticket would be £21 now. That ignores the big jump we saw from the £5 entry fee.

And so I ask again. Based on everything we know about Pleasure Beach, including its distaste for cannibalising the wristband market, did anyone honestly believe this new ticketing system was going to be cheaper?

No we we didn't expect a reasonable system. We all knew it was going to be utterly ridiculous. But that doesn't mean we can't all still whinge about it :)

I would agree with @shakey i didnt expect a reasonably priced ticket but at the very least i expected it to make sense.

I am not too bothered about the price of a ride ticket, it is the non rider pass that is stupid.

As you said in 2015 a non rider pass was £5, adjusted for inflation that is £7 today, but now the price is £18, what changes have been made to allow a £11 hike.

If it was £7 the total would be £19, expensive but a price that makes sense... £30 Is insane
 
The flex pass works if you turn up on the day and don't want to pay £60 to enter the park. Probably still an argument the £18 entry cost should be then be used towards paying for rides though.

Booked my VIP pass day for Aviktas as well
