Annual Pass Blockout Dates - Why?

[TeamJones22]

Hello all,

Im planning to go to DLP mid-September with my beautiful girlfriend for 5 nights and we are doing everything separately to save a bit of money. Was planning to buy annual pass when i got there as its the same price as a 5 day ticket (cheaper when Shareholders Club discount is taken off), however we were planning togo on the 16th - 21st as hoping its quieter then, but the blackout dates include one of the days we are going to be there.

So i was just wondering really, why do they have blackout dates on certain days? Is it because they expect to really busy on those dates?

It's to help spreading people. Someone living in Paris who can go almost every day in the year, probably will buy one of the cheaper passports to save some money, so he will not be able to go during peak periods (national holidays, week end during summer and so on), reducing the crowd a little.
