How To Get Deep Discounts Off Your Theme Park Tickets

With the summer here, many people are flocking to theme parks to have some fun.  Among the popular destinations are Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Six Flag parks.  No matter which park you choose to go to, there is no reason why you should pay full price for these tickets because it is often very easy to find discounted tickets.

The first thing you need to do is determine how you qualify for a discounted ticket.  After you do this, it’s all down hill.  Here are some common ways people qualify:

Are you a member of any associations?  Almost all of us are.  A lot of them have programs which give their members discounts for theme parks.  Some associations include: teacher’s associations, unions, AAA, universities, and the military.  Give them a call or go to their websites to look for offers.

Keep an eye out for special promotions.  Look for soda can offers, coupons in cereal boxes and store promotions.  For example, Six Flags routinely has a 2 for 1 deal if you bring a coke can to the ticket window.  And don’t forget to look at the offers that come with your credit card statement or other bills, they may very well have a good coupon inside.

Check your local bank or credit union.  My credit union has heavily discounted tickets for theme parks.  The tickets are in limited supply, so plan ahead.  If they happen to be sold out of tickets, ask them if you have any other options.  They may very well have coupons that they can give you.

If you are paying full price for a theme park ticket, you are doing something wrong.  There are many discounts out there to be had.  All you have to do is look around a little.
