There are over 20 Six Flags parks scattered across the United States, and the ticket prices vary depending on which one you visit. The average admission is $59.99 for adults and $39.99 for children under 48”, but with some planning, it’s easy to get discounts and avoid paying the full price. Here, we will share a list of the best ways to get discounts on tickets to Six Flags parks.
1: Buy tickets online
One of the easiest and most reliable ways to get discounts on tickets to Six Flags is to buy them in advance and online. The savings vary by park but can range from $15 to $25 per general admission ticket.
2: Bring a Coca-Cola Can
Bring an empty Coca-Cola can (Sprite also works) to the ticket office, and you can get a discount of $15 to $21. Don’t be surprised — this has been a popular way of saving on Six Flags tickets for years. While there are no longer discount prints on the can, the discount is still available. You can use the code“co*kE”to get the discount if you book online. However, as there is a processing fee of $9 per ticket when buying tickets online, they won’t be as cheap as when you buy them at the park with an empty Coca-Cola can.
Note thatthe savings from this can’t be combined with other offers and can only be applied to adult tickets.
3: Visit in Groups
Spending a day at Six Flags is fun, but it is more fun when you go with a big group. Also, Six Flags offers excellent savings to groups. The minimum number of people required to get the discount varies between parks. The Chicago park needs 20 people to be eligible, while New Jersey’s only requires 10. When you go with a large group and purchase tickets in advance, you can receive one free ticket for every 10, 15, or 25 purchases. Some parks also offer special group prices for parties over 100 people or for student or youth groups.
4: Buy a seasonal pass
Buying a seasonal pass might make more sense if you are a frequent visitor. Not only will it give you free admission throughout the year, but the pass holders will also enjoy many other benefits, from free or priority parking at every Six Flags park to discounts on park tickets for friends and families and skip-the-line passes. There are currently three types of seasonal passes: Gold Pass ($74.99), Platinum Pass ($99.99), and Diamond Pass ($249.99).
5: Join the membership program
Membershipat Six Flags has the same benefits as a Season Pass, but you’ll pay for it monthly, like a gym membership or cable TV. You can keep it for as long as you want and cancel anytime after the first 12 months.
6: Purchase a hotel package
If you plan to stay in a nearby hotel and visit the park for multiple days, ask if the tickets are included before booking your hotel room. It may be worth paying a bit more for a room if it comes with discounted or free tickets and a free shuttle to the parks. Check outsixflagspackages.comfor deals.
7: Use Your Employee Perks
If your employer offers an employee reward and recognition program like Fond, you may find discount tickets there for Six Flags. We bought two one-day admission tickets for only $80, $20 cheaper than when you buy online. However, make sure the tickets you purchase are to the right park, as the tickets purchased through these platforms are often not refundable.
8: Go midweek in early spring or fall
Six Flags ticket prices vary based on the day of the week and the month of the year. You can find cheaper tickets online if you go to parks midweek in April, May, September, and October. The parks also offer monthly benefits, such as “Bring a Friend for $19.99,” which can save you a few bucks.
9: A few other ways
If you use your Discover credit card to purchase Six Flags tickets or passes online or at the gate, you will receive a 5% discount. This same discount is also available for all purchases made within the park. Grocery stores and merchants located near the theme parks often sell tickets and passes at discounted prices. If you are an AAA member, you can get 30% to 50% off tickets purchased online or show your card to get $5 off admission at the gate. Six Flags members can also get 10% off a purchase of $15 or more in the park.
