I heard their commercial saying you can go the whole year for the admission price of one day-- is that $80??!!
I knew those euro bas s would it all up after they bought out Anheuser Busch. Not only are they cutting out the free beer samples, but they're also jacking up the admission prices. I can only guess that beer and food prices in the park will be jacked up as well. Yeah, let's take away the most awesome thing about sea world, then make them pay more to get in on top of that.
No more Sea World for me. Which is actually cool, because I was gettin sick of the place. Only reason I went is because wifey and the kids liked it. Only thing that made the place tolerable was the water park and free beer samples.
80 bucks. Good luck with that Inbev-Busch. Or whatever the you call yourselves now. You won't be seein me there anytime soon.
Looks like it's gonna be a summer of boating and camping for family fun this year.

Was just looking on their website before posting this, and the annual pass for children and adults this year is 79.99 per pass. Compared to last year when I got them for less than 60 per pass. No thanks.
Some people are smart and some aren't.
Some people think that the way to get by when you aren't making enough money is to charge more, simple math, but what they don't see is that less people are likely to pay the inflated prices.
They would have been better off dropping the price in my opinion rather than raising it, or at the very least keeping it the same.
80 bucks to see fish and other dumb . HAHA. No thanks. I went once and they had a cat show. Freaken cats doing gay ass tricks. That place sucks donkey .
Wow, if free Budweiser was the highlight of going to Sea World, that's really pathetic. LMAO @ $80 to go see that piece of . That's more expensive than Universal Studios or even Disney World.
my friend works for sea world (some office park opps thing) they would get free packs of beer every month... they cut that off once it was bought out. Anheuser Busch was top gun...owning all other beers...american owed....no more. I even hear they are gonna cut down on advertising in sports games. I guess everone has there price.
supposedly inbev whatever has said that you can run budweiser advertising but we wont pay you for 90 days and you dont have any say in it.
I hope they dont have existing contracts or else there are gonna be a few lawsuits.

see how much longer they keep doing this...
This site says its 54.99

That's for a single day admission. I'm talkin about the season passes. As a matter of fact, I think 54.99 is what I paid last year for a season pass. Looks like that will only get you one day this year. Then you gotta pay for parking on top of that. No thanks.
No... the fun pass shows 54.99 which is a season pass
The Fun Pass at $55 does not include parking but the Annual Pass at $80 does include parking!! Parking is now $15 per day, I think.
That fun pass is something new. Thanks for pointing that out. I just went to the season passes page like I always do and was like "80 IN DOLLARS!?" Still have to wonder why they have this fun pass stashed away under the "single day tickets" link. Seems a bit shady.
Wonder how much the parking pass is this year?
Screw it. I'm not changing my mind. I've already got Wifey convinced that it's just not worth it this year.
I'd rather go camping and boating anyway.

Camping and boating >>> Seaworld
In the amusement industry you never lower your price when you want to attract customers and heres why.
If your down lets say from the year before and every tom and harry has paid 44 last year, this year you charge 48 to cover expenses and well, make money.
So your attendence is down, you decide, , I'm gonna lower to 40, by doing that, more people will come and i will make up the difference in volume!!
That doesn't work, and the problem is, you have to garner even more customers than you did the year before, just to get even for what you were making last year at that price.
Lowering the price is horrible for the bottom line and business itsself.
Sometimes you just have to wait things out and take the down periods.
Damn! $55 bucks?
<==== paid $80 for metalfest VIP tickets
tell that to a 4 year old.
I never got the season pass thing for Sea World. Do you really need to see the same show 20 times a year?
I go every few years and then I remember why I go every few years.
I can somewhat see Fiesta Texas season passes because they have more rides.......but even then.......
Look for Fiesta Texas to start laying off people too.
Since you guys don't seem to be reading the prices correctly...
Fun Pass if $54.99. Decent price (price of season passes 5-6 years ago). The problem is parking. Single-day parking is $13.95. If you buy the Fun Pass, you'll have to pay for parking everytime out. The only way to get an annual parking pass is to buy the Annual pass for $79.99. Think of it as an annual parking pass of $25.
Not a bad deal, but parking passes used to be $5-10 for a year.
In comparision, Fiesta Texas also has a promotion going on for their season pass for $39.99, but it's a joke of a pass since it is only good thru May 31st! They have the normal 4-pack for $59.99 each. A single, regualr season pass is sold for $69.99.
But here is the catch on their prices: annual parking pass is $45!!! For any pass since it is not included with any package.
I got the Sea World $55 pass for myself (+$25 for annual parking) and the $55 pass for my wife. My daughter is under 3 so she has free admission. Boating and camping is fun, but never a subs ution for a coaster.
We've had FT season passes for the past 5 yrs or so and we get more than our money's worth each year. We also go to Six Flags every year and go to the water park quite a few times just for that.
I"ve only been to SW once since I've moved down here.
And we always get the parking pass.
I do want to take a trip to Six Flags Over Arlington this year. But Sea World is less than 5 minutes away from my home, so I get some savings in gas. For the kids, Sea World is a lot more interesting.
Sea World has a water park too. I've been to the Lost Lagoon countless times. I think I've been to FT's once.
