Laura Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Hi everyone, Does anyone know if Kings Island runs a sale on their season passes prior to the park opening? I should have bought one in the fall when they offer the low price and I am kicking myself for not doing so. Debating on whether I should wait to buy a pass. Thanks! Laura 1 Quote
sixohdieselrage Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Welcome to KIC @Laura. Usually the park does have several other SP sales. @chugh43, @IndyGuy4KI and several others will be able to help more with your question. Quote

Creed Bratton Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Hi @Laura the biggest sales are usually in October-December. There may be another small sale leading up to the park opening, but that isn't guaranteed. I would personally purchase now before prices increase. Quote

Creed Bratton Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 There is a possibility, but being this far out, there hasn't been any indication. Quote

Laura Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 Thank you for the information. Is the $6.99 processing fee exclusive to online? Quote

WhatTheBlazes Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 If you do purchase online, I believe you can opt to pay monthly for the pass with no additional cost after the initial processing fee. So the earlier you purchase and choose this option, the less the monthly cost is is as it is spread over more months. 1 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I don't understand the need for a processing fee for online orders. Just another way to make money. Online ordering, for the vast majority of industries, lowers overall cost. But I have a feeling someone will come to KI's/CF's rescue and defend it, as typical. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I am not defending the processing fee, but I do believe that Cedar Fair uses a platform created by a third party for their online sales. Cedar Fair uses accesso for their online sales platform. https://accesso.com/news/cedar-fair-extends-accesso-passport-agreement-through-2022 I am not privy to the breakdown of that processing fee, but I would imagine that accesso gets a bulk of that fee. 1 Quote
Joshua Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 To be fair, the fee is only $7. It isn't really that big of a deal. I personally recommend the monthly plan as it's easier to budget. Quote
