2011 season pass prices. (On sale now!)

how sweet would a family pass be!! I would like that much!

[Ozark Outlaw]

Family Plans are nice, but what defines a "family?" Mom, pop, and one child, or two children, or three children? Does mom, and pop, and grandma, and grandpa qualify together for one family plan? Does an adult father visiting with his adult daughter qualify for a family plan?

I am all supportive of a family plan, however there would definitely be some logistics to solve for pricing since each family is different.

[Nate65807]

I agree. The bigger the family, the cheaper each pass becomes.

[Makayna]

I think a family pass should be a flat rate for 2 adults and 2 kids... you can decide who the "adults" are.  And any other kids would be like $20 extra.

The problems with this are:

1. 12 and over is an adult.  What if you have all kids 12 an over?  Or just 1 kid under 12 and 3 over 12?  How would that work?  This idea would ONLY work for families who have 2 adults and 2 or more children under the age of 12.

2. This would open the way for a "family" to be A lesbian and her lover and her 2 kids.  SDC would not like that, and it would cause them to either say, "you're not a family" or allow something that they strongly disagree with.  Not going to happen.

[Nate65807]

They could call it "group" season passes to eliminate moral objections. It would be a percentage off system. I.e. 10% off your 3rd 4th and 5th passes..that kinda deal

[Nate65807]

Also, who's to say that HFEC would disqualify non traditional families! Walmart corporation has family values (censored cds) yet someone can give their spouse sams club card to a gay lover.

I have a quick question for those of you who have made season pass purchases many times. 

This was my families first year to do the season passes and we loved it!  We decided to get them in March~and I know if we purchased sooner we could have gotten a better deal. 

The question is, When is the better deal?  Purchasing when they first go on sale?  Nov 6 according to this thread, or Purchasing during the off season? Jan - Feb? 

**This will be our first Christmas Season at SDC~we are so looking forward to it!!!**
Thanks~

[shyronnc]

Thanks so much, that's exactly what I was looking for!!  Really would like those free BAFs  .. ours this spring, I believe, had a very short time frame in which to use them...so they didn't get used..

I purchased my Season Passes off of the internet around March, or April and received the 70 something dollar ticket price, and four Bring a Friend Passes included at no additional charge. Perhaps, it depends on whatever the current rate, or special is.

[sanddunerider]

ozark,  thats right the BAF's are free with your season passes..  the differnece is or was.... last year the nov,dec, BAF your friends had free admission.....after the 1st of the year there was a 10.00 admission fee with the BAF's....

[marolinesdad]

After the first of the year the dates on the bring a friends get more restricted.

[sanddunerider]

Hmmmmm   that could be. I do know the ones i got after january did have date restrictions

[Ozark Outlaw]

Yeah, I pretty much threw away my bring a friend passes as soon as I got them since they are just for one day, and anyone I take with me to Silver Dollar City is going to spend more than one day at the park.

They were restricted on when you could use them. There were four of them, and you could only use one per two, or three month intervals. Just wasn't enough of a perk for my circumstances.
