All the reminiscing of Astroworld is making me think of a trip to SFOT...then I looked at the ticket prices Shocked

They have got to be kidding! $49.99 for one day!?!?!

Nicely enough, if you purchase tickets online you can get it for the CHILDREN'S price of $31.00

No wonder they are in debt, your average family of 4 (even at the $31 online purchase price) can't get in the gate for less than $124, not to mention the $15 parking! So actually let's say $139!

(Again taking a 2 adult 2 kid example) At regular price that's $177 (including parking) JUST to get in the gate! For ONE day!

In this economy, not many people are going to be spending that much money on entertainment/recreation.

Maybe I'm just cheap but that seems awfully expensive, then you have to add in food....geesh!

(Sorry just in "sticker shock")

Actually, that's the price for an outer market season pass, which IS a bargain. I've already made two trips up to Arlington, not to mention I will be using my season pass at Kentucky Kingdom, Great America, and Great Adventure this summer. In addition, the coupon book is much better this year!

Compared to simliar venues I think even at 50.00 it is a steal.
Tell me what other entertainment venue allows you a whole day of fun for $50.00?

The only reason $50.00 sounds high is because they did a diservice to their self in previous years discounting the price too low.

IMO of course!

Six Flags season passes and single day tickets are still pretty cheap compared to other chains. A few examples are below...I didn't look up every park or look at parking prices, but it's pretty easy to see that Six Flags tickets and season passes are still a pretty good deal. I also agree with Markie's comment about the prices seem high because of how much they discounted admission in the past.

A Cedar Fair Platinum Pass which allows all parks and parking at all parks are around $160/ea (and price varies depending which park you buy it at).
Single day tickets range from $38-$50

The Busch pass for all parks (well, most parks) is $200 for 2 years (no 1 year option that I see).
Single day tickets start at $54.99 for Sea World. Busch Gardens Africa (Tampa) it $69.95

Universal (FL) is $149 for the two parks with restricted dates.

The Schlitterbahn Platinum pass (good at the 3 tx parks) is $249.99.
One day tickets are around $40

The only reason for paying full price for SFOT tickets is laziness or apathy. They are too many avenues for getting discounts.

The price is not so bad really. Try buying an annual pass to WDW or DLR... heck just buy a 3 day park hopper for WDW and your well over 250$ (But a 10 day hopper is a steal at just 50$ more compared to 250)

Does Six Flags still have any type of "outer market" discounts on season passes? I know they did at one point.

A friend from here in Houston bought his up there, showed them his driver's license and got the $54.99 price for the outermarket season pass last week
