Trouble buying tickets from Grocery store

[mkammer22]

Hello! I just tried to buy 2 3-day park hopper tickets from my local Kroger and they could not get them to authorize. I spent about an hour in there trying and having my money refunded. Prior to going there today, I went to 2 other grocery stores and they were sold out completely--- both seemed to have plenty 2-day park hoppers though.

Has anyone else had problem? Has the sale ended and that grocery store hasn't taken them off the shelf?

Thanks!

Are they selling the 3-day promo hoppers for $149? If so those had to be purchased by April 2, which may explain why they wouldn't authorize.

Thats the only thing I can think of....

I tried to buy 2 of the promotional 3-day hoppers at a grocery store for $149 each. It was April 1st, the day the promotion ended. The exact same thing happened to me -- they couldn't get them to authorize and they refunded my money. It said specifically on the back of the hoppers they were to be sold THROUGH April 1st, so I wasn't very happy it didn't go through. The store manager had plans to pull all the remaining hoppers off the racks. Fast forward to today....different grocery store, different state... I noticed that the same parkhoppers ($149 for 3 days) were still on their racks. I ended up getting my 3 day parkhoppers for a few cents less than that deal online at lastminutetravel.

Well, that explains it -- thats a bummer. That teaches me to procrastinate things like this. I guess I will just by my tickets online.

Thank you for the response!
