?? about legoland tickets and coupons

[mom4scrapbooking]

So I am purchasing 4 adult tickets and I see there are tickets i could get for free for child admission. Which I have 2 children attending. So I need lots of questions answered. Can i purchase the 4 adult tickets at somewhere cheaper and still use the coupons? Can i upgrade all these tickets to a second day and if so what would it cost me? I haven't been there for like 10 years and would love to go back but trying to cut out any costs i can.

Thanks for the help!

I would say no to buying the cheaper adult ticket and using the child free.
Two years ago I bought my ticket at Costco and tried to use the free kid. I had to pay the extra for adult to use the kid free coupon.
You could buy 2 cheaper adult tickets, if you can find them and then buy the other 2 adults at the gates and use the 2 free kids coupons.
You can upgrade to 2 days but I don't know the cost.

I love LL, I find it very relaxing and beautiful.

I agree with PP. In order to get the free kid's tix you have to pay full price for 2 adults. I believe you'll have to buy them at LL to use the coupon.

Not sure if you can upgrade the free tix. Probably not. You can upgrade the full fare adults, I would think, no problem. I would call LL and ask them about the kid's tix.

Just checked out LL website. Right now they have an exclusive online ticket deal. 5 days for the price of 1, Park Hopper. Inc. LL, Waterpark, and SeaLife. Adults (13-59) $89, Seniors (60+) and Children (3-12) $79, and Toddlers (1-2) $3.

5 consecutive days. First visit must occur on or before September 1st, 2011. Ticket(s) expire on September 5th, 2011

For 2 days (regular price) for an adult you will pay $84. ($69 plus $15 for extra day) Hmmm, if you are going for 2 days then maybe you can use the other 2 adults tickets to get 2 more kids ticket for 2nd day? Check with LL to make sure you can use the free kid's tix on another day. May not be able to.

So what you need to do is figure the math.
4 regular adults with extra day (4 x $84) = $336
2 kids free
2 kids tickets for 2nd day (2x $69) =====$138
Total for LL only, 2 days =============$474

4 adult PH, 5 days for one (4 x $89) = $356
2 kids same deal (2 x $79)====$158
Total for 5 day, PH ============= $514.
So for $40 more you can get 5 days in all 3 parks. That's less than $7 each, which is less than the cost of upgrading to the waterpark.

If you can use the other 2 free kid's tickets on a different day than day of purchase, that would save $138. I would be surprised if they allowed that though.

Definitely make a call to LL or send them an email.

When we were there last year they told us no to upgrading the free kids' tix for second day. If you are going 2 days for sure, I wouldn't bother with the free kids tix. For one day though, you could do 2 full price adults with 2 free kids, then 1 full price adult with 1 free adult. Both coupon versions -- buy 1 adult get free kid and plain buy one get one -- are available on ebay. FWIW we never need a second day at Legoland--it's a small park.

The coupons for the free child admission specifically say that the tickets must be purchased at Legoland to get the free admission.
