London Dungeon is offering free tickets to students who received D grades or below
(Picture: London Dungeon)London Dungeon is giving away free tickets this weekend to celebrate A-Level results day – but straight A students can stop reading now, this one’s not for you.
While thousands of A-Level students will be celebrating getting top marks and planning their move to their first choice university, others will have been left disappointed.
But for those students who didn’t do as well as they may have hoped, all is not lost.
London Dungeon is giving away free tickets for anyone whose “grades are bad across the board”.
“We’re talking more Ds and Es than in Sweeney Todd!”
The South Bank attraction is inviting students who received D grades or below to explore London’s horrible history, and “see there are much scarier things in life than short-term exam result setbacks”.
A London Dungeon spokesperson said: “We can all remember the angst of A-Level results day and the disappointment that comes with not getting the grades you wanted.
“Now these bad results can serve a purpose after all – gaining you free entry to the London Dungeon!”
To enter the London Dungeon for free this weekend, A-Level students must bring ID and proof of their results showing all Ds or below to the ticket office, until 2pm on Sunday, August 21, 2022.
So while other students may be showing off their Bs and Cs – jokes on them, because now there are perks to getting Ds and Es, too.
After spending the weekend commiserating, many students who didn’t do as well as they hoped may be considering their next steps.
There are always other options when things don’t go to plan on results day. For example, students can appeal their exam results, or resit the A-Level exams later.
Students can still apply to university, even if they didn’t meet the conditions of their offers, through the clearing system.
Finally, students shouldn’t take it to heart – bad A-Level results are not the end of the world.
As Jeremy Clarkson likes to remind us every year, he got two Cs and U, and he spent this results day on a boat.
