Two one day passes less than one two day pass?

[SgtTibbs]

Looking at a DLR trip in late August. Here is what I am seeing:
1-Day pass: $104
2-Day pass: $ 285

So the 2-Day day pass is $77 more than two 1-day passes. Am I missing something?

That's correct. It's because with the single-day tickets, $104 is the cheapest price right now, to be used on those specific dates. The two-day pass can be used on any dates.

It's because one day tickets use tiers while multi day tickets do not. A one day ticket can be as much as $179 for a non hopper. But some days do work out cheaper to buy as one day tickets if you're going on a lower tier day. I went with some friends recently and it was cheaper for them to buy two 1-day tickets than a 2-day tonight.

It also costs more to add a hopper to a 1 day ticket versus a multi day (it's $65 to add a hopper to a 1 day; $60 to add to a multi day).

If you're sure of your days, it can be cheaper to get a 1-day ticket instead of a multi day ticket sometimes.

But as @Kender says, if you are adding a PH, it is $60 TOTAL for all days of a multi-day ticket. It is $65 per day on each day of a one day ticket. So make sure to do that math as well.

Edited: thank you @Kender!

It's $65 to add to the one day. $60 to add to a multi day. Not the other way around. They really want you buying a multi day and will let you save $5 if you want it to be a hopper
