Upgraded tickets to Genie+ with Virgin

[itf]

Just in case anyone is wondering about costs / how to on this. I sent them a text, and they came back saying they couldn't upgrade our tickets, only cancel and re-issue losing our park reservations.

Given we're not going til August that's not a big deal. Cost of upgrading our ultimate ticket to 14 day Genie+ tickets was £325 - so £108 each, so basically $10 per day per person at current exchange rates, vs $15+tax buying per day on site, assuming it doesn't go up before August!

We won't go on all 14 days, but there's some possibility that on our pool days I might make a reservation, queue up some G+ in the evening and go for a few rides and the fireworks.

Relatively painless, new tickets will be issued in 48 hours.

Just to finish this off, we completed this successfully today - and because we did it within 48hr of them removing the old ones, all our park reservations were the same - they cancel if you're without tickets for > 48 hours. We did have to phone for the new ticket number, it wasn't emailed automatically as promised.

That's £550 per ticket plus any LL you buy.
Could be £2.4K for a family of 4. FP+ was £1.6k in 2019. Crazy.

Thanks for info, you can get same deals across all ticket providers

It was £462 p/p - 7 for 14 is still availble. So £33 per person per day inc G+ if you used all 14 days in the parks.

I thought it was £469 (standard 14 ticket price) + £108 genie+ LL is £575 each roughly

Sorry I was looking at 14 for 7 without G+ - the correct sums are 1615/3/14 = £38.45 p/d inc Genie+ sorry!

£108 genie+

Genie+ was just under £98 for 14 days recently. Has it gone up?

Was my cost to change from ultimate 14 day to the new magic ticket type so I probably got hit by a bit of inflation too on the base ticket
