Hershey Park people discounts Aug?

[debbiecarr98]

Hershey Park people do you know of any discounts that I may be able to use the end of August? We live in Massachusetts and are going around the 20th.
Thanks!

Giant grocery stores always run a promo with Kraft foods. You buy a certain amount of product and get free or discounted tickets. I don't know if that will help you since you are in Mass. but you can usually get a great deal using coupons toward the products. Also, once the promo starts lots of people sell their vouchers on eBay for a relatively cheap price. Last year with coupons I got a four pack for my family and sold another four pack on eBay and basically broke even, so free Hershey for us!

I'm from NY, but I have gotten coupons from Burger King.

Generally the discounts are going to be regional, so you'll probably have to wait until you're in the area to be able to find anything. Most discounts aren't too steep though unfortunately, at least from what I've seen. And don't forget that parking is extra as well.

I'm not totally sure what tickets are running right now. Whenever we go I get them discounted from my employer, who gives us a flat $38 rate.

Thank you for your responses! You gave me the idea to check ebay, as I dont have a Giant in my area, and purchased a discount code for 1.95 which will enable me to buy the tickets online for 29.00 each. I called Hershey to be sure we would still be able to preview the park the night before if I purchase the tickets this way, and they said yes, so this is what I will do!
Thanks again!

I am looking for a good deal, as well. I just came upon this offer, which I may end up purchasing through...

This is a pretty nice discount and would save us more than purchasing discounted tickets through my DH's employer. Do you know if a family member has to be a member of Boy Scouts of America in order to use this discount offer?

Thanks for posting that. We are going in July and this looks like a great discount!

I live in a town next to Hershey, and I work in Hershey and I can look out the front windows of my building right now and see the coasters and Kissing tower
I get my tickets from my mom and grandpa who work at Hersheypark, so I'm set

But yup...your best bet is to swing into a Giant grocery store in the area and you can get a discounted tickets. ALSO, check craigslist! Lots of people sell tickets on there, I sold a few last year because we get so many of them later in the season.

We just got back from Hershey Park, we live in Ohio.
We got our tickets at Giant grocery stores once we got to Harrisburg, PA.
I think the store was like 3 miles from the park.

It's really is a great deal, we saved $12 on parking too.
As if you buy two adult ticket you get free parking ticket which will save you $12 for parking.
I think for 2 adults tickets and 2 children/senior tickets cost us $159.
So even if you don't have a giant grocery store near you there are some near Hershey park. I went on line to see which store sold the tickets and went to the one that was the closest to our hotel.

Hi debbiecarr98! Great suggestion! I too bought a discount code on Ebay for $1.95. I was also wondering if we would be able to preview the park the night before. Did they say to buy the tickets at the park or can you buy the tickets online using the code and still preview the park the night before? I've never been there.

Hi! No, I called before, and they said it was fine to buy the tickets online, so I did. It says right on the tickets that you are eligible to preview the park the evening before. Have a great time!!
