Calum Willock's goal ensured that gutsy Peterborough retained their League One status for at least another week.
It was a deserved win, although Posh were fortunate when Blackpool's Keith Southern blasted his penalty straight at Peterborough keeper Mark Tyler.
Willock netted shortly before the interval as he latched on to a deflected Richard Logan shot.
Peterborough tightened their grip on the match after the break, with Steve Thomson and Logan hitting the bar.
