Where to get cheap theme park tickets?

[Kenster]

I will be travelling to Gold Coast next week holiday with the family.

I wonder what is the best way to buy tickets to the theme parks (Movie world, Sea world)?

Thanks

I think you can get a discount with RACQ (probably other motoring organisations too). We bought our Wet 'n' Wild tickets for cheaper by joining My Fun. Joining is free, you get the tickets through the net and print them out and save at least a half hour in a loooooooong queue.

My Fun has discounts for several parts, run by the same group.

Best to start by choosing which parks you want to go to and for how many days. If you are making multiple trips there are some good offers (eg unlimited entry for 14 days or 3 admissions for the price of two). Sea World, MovieWorld and Wet'n'wild Waterworld are all affiliated, while DreamWorld and White Water World are also together.

There is an offer available to Queensland residents only that is $50 for unlimited entry until June.

RACV. We did not buy ticket to every themepark but did buy a bundle during christmas. You have diff choices eg 3 theme parks together (movie, Sea, Wet and Water) OR Dream World and White water world (saving about $30 from memory). Cheers

If you have an Entertainment book it gives you 15% discount at Wet n Wild, Sea World, Movie world. There's aone where you can go to any 2 parks over 3 days. You need the card and you just present it at the entry to get the discount. Ask friends if they have one.
Look up the website

If I had more notice I could have sent you mine as it runs out in June and I get my new book in a few weeks. PM me if you want it and think it will get to you in time. I could post it tomorrow.

(8) Ticket upgrade at entry gate
- For example....dreamworld come back again within 14 days for $10 and seaworld upgrade your ticket to a 2 park pass for $10 to be used within 14 days and you can go to movieworld or wet n wild for $10 more

one tip is that when you are actually at the park, they always have loads of upgrade offers at really cheap prices.

for example....dreamworld come back again within 14 days for $10 and seaworld upgrade your ticket to a 2 park pass for $10 to be used within 14 days and you can go to movieworld or wet n wild for $10 more, they always have offers in the park etc.

I usually get one ticket with credit card points (free) and then upgrade to an annual pass special offer when I'm there. last yr we went to seaworld for free and upgraded to an annual pass for just $30 per person.

I once saw Dreamworld have a 2yr annual pass upgrade (have to be in the park already) includes white waterworld for $149!

If you plan to go to seaworld, movieworld or wet n wild, just pay for one park first and see what they offer you whilst there.

Also have a look on ebay under 'Tickets - Travel - Vouchers - Gift vouchers'

I found these by accident one night. I havent purchased any personally but they may be worth a look?
