More Walk Through Information

Hey Folks

I have been given some more information on the walk through event - please read below:

Because of the huge logistical challenge with getting thousands of people on and off site quickly and safely, there has been delays in releasing ticket sales and for that we can only apologise. We assure you that you will be notified in advance of the exact date of ticket sales. This will give details of where and when you can purchase tickets and we thank you for your patience during this time.

Tickets are priced at £6 for adults and £3 for children under 16. The cost will cover all parking charges and the shuttle bus ride to and from the tunnel site from your choice of 9 venues in the local area. You will be asked to choose your preferred time and venue at the time of booking.

All profits will go to a new fund to specifically benefit the communites around the tunnel area. For more information please see www.communityfoundationsurrey.org.uk

Also going into the fund will be all the monies raised from the Grand Draw Prize. Tickets for the draw will be available at various outlets in the towns and villages and prizes include being in the first VIP group to walk into the tunnel on the day!

So there we go folks a little more info for you. Once I am told the booking website is up and running I'll put the link on here.

Also I am going to be asking for your help during the walk through. I am goign to be taking plenty of photo's from inside the tunnel on the day itself but really want you guys to send in yours as well. Lets try and get some nice photo's and also some quirky photo's as well. I might even have a little prize for the best photo so keep your eyes peeled!

Keep on diggin..........

This is typical of people who do not understand the web.
They have already had 20,000 people register an interest and now are 'surprised' when their server ( I hope servers) takes a massive hit. With a proper web service, they should have been able to cope with the server traffic on the day. It's just another example of penny pinching and an insult to the people whose money has paid for the tunnel. I only hope they have not skimped on the construction to the same extent.

What an utter mess tried all day!!! Why was the web site so unable to take such interest as they kept talking about very high interest. We registered straight off only to find that would make no difference in the end. Caroline White what a mess!!

Cant get the site to work - its an absolute shambles, they knew there was a huge amount of interest & to cap it all the person who was liasing with the public has pushed off on holiday
