DOs and DON'Ts - WHEN BOOKING YOUR BLACKPOOL WEEKEND
WHY BOOK YOUR STAY IN BLACKPOOL WITH US?
There are several reasons, please see below.
Over 25,000 people booked with us in 2007. We expect this figure to double in 2008.
Here's a list of DOs, you'll find the DON'Ts below (and they are worth a look) |
DO |
|
|
BOOK WITH A COMPANY THAT OFFERS A CHOICE OF ACCOMMODATION
We have FOUR different categories of Blackpool hotels, from Economy through
to Deluxe. All the Hotels are realistically priced.
We regularly visit every hotel that we use, and you can be sure that your hotel will meet our standards in respect of value for money, facilities and cleanliness.
Your money is safe when you book with Party Weekends.
If
a hotel or activity supplier gets into difficulties before your arrival date and has to close we guarantee your booking and move your party to another hotel
(at our expense), whoever you book with, please make sure that you get this guarantee before booking. |

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT EXACTLY WHAT IS INCLUDED!
When you book through PARTY WEEKENDS, everyone in your party will get a FREE drink in the Hotel Bar, as well as disounted drinks offers and free entry to three great bars, FREE VIP NIGHTCLUB PASSES are also included as well as FREE ENTRY to Blackpool's best Lap Dancing venue.
Our VIP PASSES mean you can walk in at any time*, at the front of the queue, without paying a penny!
All our tickets have a value - you'll find that a lot of companies tend to include bar and club passes, claiming free entry, only for you to find that you need to be in a club before 10.30pm, when it's free anyway!
* The only exception is the Syndicate, where you need to be in before midnight, as the club is often full to capacity. |

BOOK WITH A COMPANY BASED IN BLACKPOOL
The difference between our company and the majority of other companies, is that we are based in the area. We have the local knowledge, we can recommend the best hotels, pubs, the best deals, the best places to eat. When we place your party in a hotel, we have visited the hotel, and checked that it meets our standards.
We can give you details of the best pubs, restaurants
and places to go. |

DON'T BOOK WITH COMPANIES ATTEMPTING
TO TRADE ON OUR GOOD NAME
Party Weekends is one of the biggest weekend organisers in the UK.
Our websites are instantly recognisable by both the branding and the names.
www.partyinblackpool.co.uk, www.partyinleeds.co.uk to name just two.
Our portal website and company name is Party Weekends.
We are the original Party Weekends. Some less than scrupulous companies have set up recently and are attempting to use our name in both their advertising and/or as part of their company name.
Companies doing so are in no way related to Party Weekends.
You book with them at your own risk.
These companies have no history and cannot match the high levels of customer service that we offer. |
|
|
DON'T FORGET TO ASK ABOUT BOOKING FEES AND EXTRA CHARGES
We do not add any charges to your booking cost.
A popular 'scam' is top add booking fees or charge as much as 5% commission on credit card payments.
Customers do not always realise that the extra commission has been charged until they see their next credit card statement. 5% commission on a booking with a value of £1,000 leaves the organiser with an extra bill of £50 to pay.
We feel that this is not an acceptable way to do business, and we add no
extra charges in regard to booking fees or credit card commissions.
The price you see is the price you pay.
If you do decide to book with another company, please make sure you ask
about additional charges, as it can come as a shock if you don't. |
DON'T BE TAKEN IN BY PROMISES OF FREE TICKETS WITHOUT CHECKING THE DETAILS
MAKE SURE YOUR MONEY IS SAFE
ALWAYS CHECK THAT ANY BOOKING PAGES ARE TOTALLY SECURE.
Always ask if there are time restrictions on the 'so called' free tickets that
some companies are offering.
It's a sad, but true fact that 'back bedroom' Internet companies are springing
up every five minutes.
With no business history or scruples in some cases.
A number of companies will offer worthless tickets promising free entry to a nightclub.
On arrival at the resort, you find that you have to be in the venue before 10.30pm.
Who wants to go into a club before 10.30pm? It's virtually always free and empty at that time.
Make sure that your money is safe when you book, a number of companies have gone out of business in the past few years, due to the fact that they didn't pass their customer's money to suppliers.
Lastly make sure that if you are booking
on-line, the booking page is totally secure. |
