Funny Girls new to the Blackpool Resort Pass

Blackpool’s world-famous Funny Girls show has now been added to the award-winning Blackpool Resort Pass.

The cabaret venue, celebrating its twentieth birthday this year, is the newest addition to the Resort Pass, which gives visitors yet another way to experience all that Blackpool has to offer.

Almost £1m worth of Blackpool Resort Passes were sold in their first year on sale with visitors travelling from as far away as Australia and India to enjoy the resort’s numerous attractions.

Funny Girls is one of several new Resort Pass bolt-ons for 2014.

Others include: Blackpool’s newest attraction Illuminasia, Viva Showbar, Ripleys Believe It Or Not, Hot Ice, The Blackpool Tower Ballroom and The Blackpool Tower Ballroom with afternoon tea.

The Blackpool Tower Circus, Blackpool Transport tickets and car parking passes can also be purchased as bolt-ons.

As well as bringing key attractions together in one pass, the Blackpool Resort Pass is also designed to encourage visitors to stay longer in the resort.

Research by VisitBlackpool revealed of 349 people surveyed about the Blackpool Resort Pass more than 67 per cent said they stayed in the resort for four nights or more while using it and 99 per cent said they would recommend it to a friend.

Cllr Graham Cain, Blackpool Council cabinet member for leisure and tourism, said: “The feedback last year was fantastic and we have responded to requests for more entertainment in the evening to be added.

“We continue to work with our partners in the resort to ensure the Blackpool Resort Pass continues to be a success this year offering huge discounts but also catering for different audiences.”

Phil Holmes, from Funny Girls, added: “As one of Blackpool’s most visited live entertainment showbars and must see destination venues for visitors, Funny Girls is delighted to join forces  with VisitBlackpool and Blackpool’s iconic landmark attractions on the Blackpool Resort Pass.

“Every year, thousands of visitors come from all over the UK to experience the legendary Funny Girls show.

“The new shows and entertainment bolt on package is a brilliant way for people to enjoy a full on entertainment experience in Blackpool throughout the day and into the early evening.

“It’s encouraging to be able to work together with our resort’s other great attractions as our shared aim is to offer a fun, memorable and happy holiday experience.”
