Zippos circus - most cost effective way to get tickets?

[Goodliz]

Yippee, Zippos is in town but I have not seen any of the flyers for discount tickets around the area. I'm wandering what the cheapest way to get tickets is.

Looking at the website children are ?11 and adults ?14 if going for the front view so for 2 adults and 2 children that is quite alot plus the online booking fee. So I'm wandering if anyone has seen the flyers they usually have around and what the prices advertised on those are please. If anyone can let me know that would be great.

Thanks, liz

There are some tickets on amazon local but not for the weekend

Zippos online usually gives a better price than at the gate

Thanks Fushia. Someone gave me some vouchers today which I have used.

Ah the annual pilgrimage to Zippos - love it and v excited for taking our brood apart from Norman and his budgies with the inevitable line 'these birds make the money, these birds' (pointing to the assistants) 'spend the money'. Never mind the animal rights activists who like to protest each year we need some sister power to get this joke out of his routine ...

If anyone's still looking the cafe on the Rye had some vouchers .... well hidden just the far side of the till where they keep water jug etc. That was a couple of days ago though. On vouchers restricted view tickets for example with the voucher - ?5 for kids and ?7 for adults. Possibly similar prices to online costs but you can use them at the ticket office and avoid online booking fees.

We enjoyed the show this afternoon, the kids were fascinated, even by the budgies :)

Something for everyone, I very much enjoyed the lovely gymnasts and strongman...

I've got a load of vouchers (8 or so) we were given as left today, 30% off as hpsaucey said above. Pm me if u want to collect.

By the way it was great and restricted view was fine!

We loved it too. Also have 30% off vouchers. Quite agree with Mrs TP re the bird joke, but unless I missed it it didn't seem to put in an appearance this year...

[Mrs TP]

KikiMac - We hit the 3pm Sunday show and yes the bird joke was missing - hooray. However, it was left to the otherwise fantastic clown to introduce some 1970s inappropriate humour during the dads' section making signs that one dad was homosexual as he sat behind another, rather than at the side of him, and continued his hugely not funny gestures for the next few mins - doh! Other than that was fantastic and a full to busting house added to a great atmosphere.

[Goodliz]

Oh it was great but I agree about the clown bit with his gestures. My other half got picked at the 12 o clock show yesterday to go down and participate in that act.

I like Norman's ending comment each year: 'You're never too young, or too old, or too cool to enjoy Zippo's Circus'. I think he should also add 'or too posh' ;-)

Mrs TP did you know that Norman was on This Is Your Life in the 1990s? There is a link to it from his Wikipedia page. Yes, I do need to get out much more.

Ha ha, we were at that show yesterday - I did wonder if they were real dads picked out from the audience.

We got side view tickets, which are a bit cheaper, and you can see great from there as it's not that big.

[alisong]

Does anyone still have discount vouchers available would love to go to last night performance tonight. Theres5 of us. Thanks

[pripolla]

Hi alisong, I have 6 vouchers for a 30% off discount. PM me if you are interested.

My husband was picked, too, so can confirm that they are all real (and not necessarily willing.)
