AP and ticket discounts

[drag n' fly]

We have 2 preferred annual passes already and will need to purchase three 4 day park to park passes. Is it cheaper to wait till I get to the gate and apply the 15% discount or should I prepurchase them from UT for approx 147 each? Thanks

AP discounted tickets needs to be purchased at the gate. You need to show the AP in order to get the discount.

I'm not sure that answered OP's question. I'd like to know the answer to that too, whether it's cheaper to buy the tix with the AP discount, or to just get the cheap UT tix.

That link directs you to online ticket prices which are $10 less than prices at the gate, making each 4 day park-to-park ticket $159.99 before tax. When you apply the 15% discount and the 6.5% sales tax, the total for each ticket comes to $144.83. So waiting to buy them at the ticket windows would be slightly cheaper than ordering through UT.

You are better off buying at the gate.

Thanks very much. Including tax what does a 4 day park to park pass come to with the AP discount at the gate?

Rahel, who posted above me, quotes about $145.00

That should be correct.

Thanks for this thread....it also answered a question I had about renewing our APs. I wasn't sure if it would be worth it, but its only $159 to renew and I need a four day ticket next year, so.....the extra cost seems to be justified to me since we went twice this year anyway!
