I have not been to the irn bru carnival before and would love to but i heard it finishes today because of the wearther and would lile to no if that is trure or not
Whats happened tae the wrist bands when u pay you on every
hing?
Just back from the carnival, and it was just like every year……large queues at every ride! I went with my mother & 5y/o son, so we had 30 tickets…… I still have 15!!! Due to this stupid ticket thing people are coming off a ride then just joining the queue again (either cause it’s cheap or to use up the tickets) which means alot of people aren’t getting rides! Can’t we just pay a small fee to get in then pay the appropriate (cash) price per ride!!!
I went recently with my husband and two kids (1 under 3
years old) and I was disgusted that I had to pay £10.00 to get in
when I don’t go on any rides. They should have a reduced rate that
if you are not going on any rides then you shouldn’t have to pay
the full amount. Basically I paid £10 for myself to walk around and
watch my eldest on the rides. We didn’t even use all the vouchers
as my eldest is only 5 and only certain rides he was allowed on due
to his size. The prices should be revised for next year, as I love
to watch my kids have fun but not at £10 a go.
Well I’ve gone to the Irn Bru Carnival every year since I
moved to Scotland and I think that the rides are great and it isn’t
too expensive. I have a Young Scot’s Card which I use and therefore
spending just £5 for 10 rides is plenty for me and not too
expensive.
Do you need to buy a ticket before you go or can you buy
one when you get there ?
it says its open on the first, is this right enough? dont
want 2 go all the way and its closed. x
Haven’t been for a few years but planning on a trip there
on Monday. Are there plenty of rides for my 2 year old? I have to
say I’m quite embarrassed by some of the comments, just because
(like me) you’re from Glasgow doesn’t mean you need to speak like
Rab C!
I can’t wait for the Irn Bru Carnival, The idea of using
Young Scot cads etc for cheap is great! thanks for the info
xx
a love the carnival! cant wait to go with my
friend i think it will be dead good:D think its a bit rubbish the
east renfrewshire young scot cards don’t work tho;/ but im looking
forward to goin!
how come the carnival got rid of wristbands? iv not been in
a while…. just thought i would ask
i think its ridiculise u need to pay 10 quid wen ur not
going on anything but my kids love it so cant really avoid it but
theirs no need 4 that they must make a bomb anyway its just sheer
greed :/
i love the irn bru carnival it might be £10 for 10 tickets
but belive u me its qorth it (L)
i think u shoundnt need to pay if u dont go on anything and
to u tom having children is the most amazing thing and these
children will b the next tax payers looking after u think about
that
they should bring the wristbands back the tockens are
losable dearier and are rubish!
