Did anyone else get the email for the Season Pass Survey, seems SDC wants to see how much you'll spent for park tickets, and/or multi park tickets.
-
Got the email. Haven't looked at or taken the survey yet
-
I have not received such an email, but then again I have been on a cruise ship for the last week so maybe I did and just did not see it.
-
I just took the survey. Lot's of questions about different pricing scenarios for season passes and combination tickets that include SDC, Whitewater and maybe a cruise on the Showboat. It seems like they are seriously considering different types of season passes at different pricing levels. Season passes that are only good for certain months of the year, are good for only weekdays or weekends, passes that exclude holidays, and so on and so forth. They listed several season pass pricing scenarios, none of which really appealed to me. I just hope they don't price (and limit access) me and my family out of the game.
-
I used to buy the combo-pass... (SDC and WW), because it included added discount show to the Showboat, BUT they change the show(s) this year, went to a country based them, didnt buy combo this year..
Only have been on the Showboat once this year, normally we go 6-8 times a year. Wont be doing that until they "fix" what they screwed up last year..
-
Got the survey but haven't taken it yet. Thanks for the heads up about the topic.

I guess we'll wait and see what they do, but just as stated by USS, we favored none of the scenarios.
-
I took the survey. I'm admittedly very cheap so they won't probably like my answers. I don't recall seeing a family pass option on there, which is something we suggested on the forum years ago.
-
havent received it.
I would to have the chance to fill it out....
LOL, I am kind of like Okie, cheap customer... They wont pay attention to my input.. ::)
-
I got it and took it. Not sure who puts this out, but there were numerous spelling issues on it. I also felt some parts were very confusing on the Season ticket or Daily ticket combinations and what month attending. When it asked if you would be interested in purchasing a season ticket for November-December? I didn't understand that. One other issue was they asked if you would be interested in purchasing a 3-day park pass for Sat-Sun. SDC should get their money back from whomever they contracted for this.
-
Actually saving a few dollars on the "no holiday" pass would be fine with me, since I won't go anywhere near the park on holidays anyways. Though I noticed that all of those annual passes are an increase in price over what a regular pass has been in the past.
I also noticed that they had a pretty obvious "whoops" in the survey. Hey, look, a cruise on the Branson Belle with nothing else for only $175! LOL
-
Took the survey, noticed most of the issues noted above.
NOT impressed.
-
How about a no Saturday pass. Now THAT I could go for...
-
I would agree on the No Saturday pass... Except some of the bands for Bluegrass And BBQ and the other concerts are on Saturday. I avoid Saturdays like the plague but sometimes it is hard to when you really want to see a band
-
I didn't receive the survey but I can't say I am shocked. HFE is becoming increasingly corporate so they will gradually shift to the corporate model employed by Disney/Universal. I am cheap, so I don't want to be limited on my options yet also pay a higher price than I am paying now. I'm kind of surprised they are keeping the free guest passes as an option with the season passes.
-
I want to know what percentage of guest passes that are issued with season passes actually get used. I’m assuming it’s small enough that they wouldn’t earn much more money if they didn’t offer them.
-
^Yeah I have only used one guest pass this year.
-
How likely would you be to purchase the following type of ticket to Silver Dollar City in the next 12 months?
Admission Type: 2 Days at Silver Dollar City
Days of the Week: Unrestricted Days
Add-On: A ticket to White Water where you can come and go anytime for those same 2 Days PLUS 1 Showboat cruise during your trip
Adult Price: $58.99
Month of Visit: November - December
( White Water During Old Time Christmas?) why waste my time with those questions?
THey are trying to become a WDW with the pricing. This is not going to work in SDC.
SDC is getting a little big for its britches, I suspect they try this they are going to take a hurting $$
-
Saturday is about the only day of the week we can go; the only other day we've been on in the last several years was the Monday of Labor Day. It would be nice to do weekdays, but, with our work and school schedules, it won't happen (except maybe during the week between Christmas Day and New Year's).
-
We usually go on Sunday to avoid the crowds. I'd be interested in a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday pass if it was offered. Even though I know that for much of the year, SDC isn't even open on Monday or Tuesday, I'd still be interested.
-
It doesn't sound like a bad thing to me. If you want the ability to come the entire year, get the main season pass like always. They have at least two big issues here that they want to address:
1) Weekends are outrageously crowded during Christmas. To the point that they are having to shut the gates early and turn people away. At some point you have to raise the prices to meet some kind of market equilibrium. The crowds are good in one sense, but at this point it is a traffic/safety nightmare and it negatively impacts the experiences of all guests.
2) People are always clamoring for cheaper SDC passes and tickets. The "Steal-your-dollar-city" dig has gone on forever, and with prices rising it's only going to get worse as more of the working class in this area get priced out of SDC. This is a way to address that portion of the market and make everyone happy.
-
I finished the survey and it is a little confusing at times. But I gotta say that most, if not all, choices given were not something I would be interested. I didn't know that about turning away people at OTC, that would be a major turnoff, especially having traveled 3 hours to get there.
-
So i did the survey... have to say, I am not at all impressed with their line of questions.. Sounds like they are going to jack up the price..
Maybe we have been "spoiled" at season pass rates for so long, any increase sounds bad.
I would hate to say, I would not go to SDC, But if they were to raise the price of SP,. or eliminate it completely and do the other passes... I would consider it....
What bothers me most of all, NO mention of season pass.. just new passes... now of course this wouldt go into play until 2020 at the earliest. But still... something to be thinking about..
I for sure would not care about a combo with Showboat until they go in a redo the current show. It just isnt that good of a show.. IMHO..
-
We don't tend to go weekend or holidays. I try to avoid summer like the plague. So why should I lose out on the BAF tickets if I choose a cheaper option? Its how I get my extended family and friends in who CANT afford it. Times are a changing. BTW, I love the payment plan they offer. It's a nice option.
