The last three years (including 2016), price increases have been in February. You can actually find sites that have a history of all price increases/changes going back to the opening of the MK. The last three years it's been February, but it hasn't always been that way. Prior to the last three February increases, there were three in June, 1 in May, and 5 in August. The person on the phone probably made that statement based on the recent trend, but no guarantee it will work that way next year. My opinion is that if you can swing it financially, might as well go ahead and buy. If there's no increase, you are not out anything, since the tickets don't expire as long as they are unused. If they do increase, then you saved yourself a little money. I think one thing we can just about guarantee is that they won't go down in price!
