How to avail of the discount

Please fill out the application form and submit the required documentation, Please note responses may take up to 14 working days due to the sheer volume of requests we receive. We always keep a reserve of tickets for carers online so you do not need to fear missing out.

 

You must provide the confirmation ID / Order Number for the ticket of the individual you are caring for (this is purchased in advance)

Accepted forms of supporting documentation include but are not limited to, a named associated membership card for an Additional need e.g. (Asiam etc), A GP letter with the name of the guests or a hospital consultant letter etc. The supporting documentation should reflect that of the guest with additional needs and not the carer.
