Annual pass increase - any news yet?

[MummyMinnie]

Hi our passes run out in May and we were hoping to get another trip in at Easter but doesn't look likely now. I remember reading a while back they're likely to have a large increase this year just wondering if there's been anymore news on that or anybody know when they usually announce new prices?
Sadly if that's the case we will be priced out of going
Thanks

I just googled this as its first I've heard and people have been saying the price is more than doubling! Also they are closing the loop hole of adding an adult at check in! But worrying for those who have already booked for after April hoping to do this.

Nothing further on the French forums that I've read. I think as usual we will see an increase but not as high as the figures that have been thrown about.

Last year I see they went up from the 1st of July which is new to me as they always went up in April. Would have to check when they went up in 2013.

Thanks. Staying offsite and having annual passes is the only way we can afford to go as we're limited to school holidays and the children are getting older. Interesting it was July I thought April.

Well that's what I thought too seeing as I was away the past 2 years I checked and last year they went up 1st of July. Ticket prices and hotel prices go up in April for the new season so we should know early March if the AP's will follow at the same time or wether July is the new date for their price increase

So I need to buy an AP for the trip in June. I wanted to do it via mail so should I start the process now? I had planned on waiting till end of April but if there is price increase I rather beat it.

I can't advise you as we don't know what will happen. I'm not buying renewing until it runs out so that's August.

It all depends if you do it before the traditional price increases you would have to start it before end of March, if it doesn't go up until July like last year you can wait as planned. It might go up by a few €s like it has done previously or they might decided to double it - I doubt it highly but again we don't know.

If you ordered it now how manay trips were you planning to make after your June trip ? Would it really make any difference if it ran out in March 16 instead of May 16 ?

Ok when I went to change my address today at the AP office I asked the cms and they will go up in April this year along with tickets, hotels etc but they said that a Dream AP would be going up like last year by 10€ or so. They were not aware of any plan to double the prices and would be as suprised as me if it happened this year as it wouldn't be commercially viable.

I sticking to my plan of renewing in August and will take the risk of an (massive) increase

I really wish people would stop panicking and check resources!
The rumour of this massive increase came from 1 source, and 1 source only: a German blog.
This rumour is absolutely false and not based on any truth whatsoever.
However everyone started panicking, and even the most reliable fan-sources didn't take the time to check it before spreading it around too.
AP's will NOT increase that much, they will go up this Summer with a maximum of 10€ like always. In fact, they might not even increase at all this year.

They won't go up in summer they will go up in April this year acording to the CMs in the AP office and in City Hall - Summer last year was a one off.

If DLP communicated better there would be less rumeurs flying around but pigs will fly first.

I'm not 'panicking' was just asking if anybody else had heard anymore news on the passes.
It's something I originally read on here so thought there may be more upto date information.

What resources could we check because as far as I know there aren't any? I emailed they said they don't know when or if their prices will increase and to comtact them again in April. So appears even they do not know.
