Annual Pass purchase and ticket question

[JessicaR]

Friends of ours are joining us on our HHN trip. I want to purchase him an Annual Pass and then buy 5 - 3 day tickets for the rest of his family.

If I book the AP online can I get the tickets at that time at the discount or do I have to wait to get the tickets at the gate when he gets his actual pass?

I had a look at Undercover Tourist and the price wasn't any better it was higher by a few dollars. I guess due to the AP discount.

Is it easier to call and purchase the AP and tickets?

Thanks!

i always buy by calling.
easier.
if you have any questions, the Tm on the phone will be able to help you at that point.



you have the ap jessicaR and you could buy the park tickets now with the discount.

you can do 6 tickets on a transaction.

Undercover tourist prices are cheaper.

3 day park to park with AP is $172 less 15% plus 6.5% tax is $157

UT price is $149.95 taxes and shipping included

Wouldn't that be gate prices?

The online price is $152.99 before the discount, and tax.

The discount is off gate prices.

OK - so a $35 savings. Thank you - will order from them now.

damo, do you know if those tickets can be upgraded at the park to a 4 day?

 

[macraven]

JessicaR, all park tickets can be upgraded at guest services.


you would pay the difference of what the original ticket was compared to the tickets you are upgrading to.


the tickets are coded so GS would know the actual amount you paid for the single day tickets.


if you plan to do 4 full days, might as well buy them now from UT and avoid the upgrading process.
you would lose that savings from UT if you upgrade at UO.

As of right now they are leaving a day earlier than us - on a 2P flight - getting picked up at 11:30. I don't think they will enter the park that day but not sure. I guess I'll just leave it and let them decide.

Thanks!

Like mac said, all 2 park tickets can be upgraded. Phamton says that the 3 park tickets can't be upgraded.

isn't the 4 day tickets about the same price as the power pass?
which would make the 3 day park tickets not available for an upgrade to 4 days.

 

[JessicaR]

OK so it was $3.00 more per ticket for the 4 day - even if they don't use it no big deal.

First time using Undercover Tourist - are their tickets on a heavy stock paper? I hate the print at home when they get wet.

Thanks for the help!!

Someone was talking about that the other day on here. They said it cost them nothing to upgrade the 3 day pass to a power pass.

I think you can probably upgrade the 3 day pass to a 4 day if you want. You just can't upgrade the 3 Park pass to an annual pass. Phamton said it was because of the revenue sharing between the three parks.

I think they are that new tyvek material.

i always use UT for my motherland park tickets.
they come on the heavy paper.

never had any issues with them.

the UO tickets come on the same paper.
