The deal will end at 11.59pm on Tuesday 11 November, or when all 3,000 tickets have been claimed, whichever’s sooner.

It's first-come, first-served and you'll need to choose a day to go when you book. You can get up to six free adult tickets, and up to two children aged 16 or under can go free per adult ticket – child tickets won't count towards the free tickets allocation.

Tickets are completely free, so if you're asked to add any card details, go back and try again.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
