free tickets to Kennedy Space Center

[chuchujew]

This is a copy of the email I sent my congresswoman (in NY) after being told the tix were only offered for space launches. After this correspondence, I was contacted by her aide & he is currently working on getting the tix. Haven't heard back in a couple months, so I'm keeping the faith that they'll still be available:

I emailed my congressman on Friday and received this today:

Good afternoon, Jennifer:

Unfortunately, the Kennedy Space Center no longer has complimentary passes available through June 2012. Tickets may be purchased online at http://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/buy-tickets-admission-hours.aspx or in person at the Space Center Visitor Complex.

I apologize for this inconvenience.

Best,
Danielle

Just heard from my senators office and we got tickets for our late September trip! he did say that all of the tickets were gone for the summer months, but there were a few left for september. So if it matches your travel dates, ask now!

I just received an email from our congresswomen in Wyoming and they are going to get our information submitted for tickets! Yay! Thanks for posting all the information about this so our family can enjoy this extra outing in December.

Does anyone know if Canadians have a program like this also?

 

[4butlers]

Ok, I just sent the email off for our trip in October! Keeping my fingers crossed!

I called the local office today and made a request

dh really wants to go so this would be a great way to trim our budget

 

[heartpumper]

I was just told by my Congressman's assistant that they were no longer going to hand out complimentary tickets after Aug 2012. Of course we are going in October. He provided me with the link to purchase full price tickets. It was worth a try.

Try another representative (Senator?)

Got a call today from our congressman's office telling us we got our tickets for our trip - we are going October 27th and we got them today.

We were also notified today that our request was granted and that we'd be receiving our tix about a month before our trip (we're going in June).
I was a little worried because of the posts about no more tix being left. Maybe it's a State by State thing?

They are definitely still doing it. We are going in December. Our congresswomen's assistant heard back from the NASA people that give the tickets and they said they take requests 6 months in advance so to resubmit our request in June. So definitely still being done. Hope you can work something out!!

Okay - I just sent a request. I didn't mention the month we are going though.

Ok, this may be a dumb question, but are you to contact your state or U.S. representative? (And from house or senate?) Because we changed our dates for our trip we are only 4 1/2 months out so I hope we aren't too late and there are still some tickets available. My hubby turns 40 on our trip and he REALLY wants to go so we will be going and taking the kids (4 and 23 months) so not having to pay $125 to get in would be a big help!!!!!

I have not done this but if you go federal it should not matter if it is either of your two state senators or your representative.

I contacted my Congresswoman, Kathy Hochul from New York State.
She is my US Representative in Congress.
HTH

You have to be within a six month window of your trip, I sail May 2013 and was told its available but I need to call back in November to get the tickets.

To clarify;
It is your US Representative (Congressman) or US Senator (either one) from your state.

Thanks for the info. I just requested tickets for October from US Congressman MA John Tierney's office. Will report if I have any luck!
