Using Old Park Tickets

[HolleBolleGijs]

Hi everyone!

My family has some old park tickets from 1999 that still have one day left. We were hoping to use them to spend an extra day in the parks when we go next week. Will they honor the tickets?

If we can still use them, the only issue I foresee is that there are two adult tickets and one child ticket; however, there would be three adults who would be using them. Would we just have to pay the difference? How would that work?

Thanks!

Is the third adult the person for whom the child's ticket was purchased?

Yep!

Then you won't even have to pay the difference. You will have to trade them in at Guest services, but there will be no additional charge.

Awesome, thanks! One more question, can we use one of the adult tickets for a different adult than for whom it was originally purchased?

Technically, no, but I'm not sure how they would know. Was this purchased before the biometric finger thing?

You need to check and see if those tickets were purchased with option to have no expiration date...or else they do expire...I learned this the hard way....many moons ago

Yes, it was before they scanned fingers.

Okay, good to know. I think they were, but I guess I'll check. Thanks!

In 1999, all tickets were non-expiring. They didn't charge extra for that back then. Charging to have your ticket not expire began nine or ten years ago.

OP can use the tickets and anyone can use them. Once they scan your fingers, you're stuck to your tickets, but back then, they didn't do the whole fingerprint thing, so the ticket can be given to anyone.

Sweet! How would the whole child ticket thing work then? The ticket was originally purchased for me, but I'm not a child anymore. Do they have any way of knowing that it was originally mine?

not really - you just have to be the right age to have been eligible for a child ticket back then.

Cool beans, thanks!
