Jul 9, New Busch Theme Parks Deals for Florida Residents

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:57:28 GMT

Busch Entertainment Corp. announced new ticket prices Monday that include a $2 increase in the basic ticket rate for SeaWorld Orlando but deep discounts in multipark deals available to Florida residents for SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. The price of a basic one-day, one-park ticket to SeaWorld is now $69.95, up from $67.95. Busch also increased the prices of basic tickets to Aquatica (to $41.95), Busch Gardens (to $67.95) and Adventure Island in Tampa (to $37.95). At the same time, Busch cut the price of multipark packages that target Florida residents. The two-park, two-day ticket that allows people to pick from among SeaWorld, Aquatica, Busch Gardens and Adventure Island is now $79.95, a 20 percent decrease from the previous price. Likewise, the three-park, three-day tickets for SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Aquatica and Adventure Island are now available for $119.95, an 11 percent rollback. SeaWorld last raised it basic ticket price in November 2007, less than a year ago. Joe Couceiro, Busch Entertainment vice president and chief marketing officer, said the company was not concerned about raising its basic price during a summer of economic uncertainty because, even with the higher base price, "we are very competitive." He said "business is doing very well" despite high gas prices this summer. Busch also announced it is continuing its "Pay for a Day" deal through Labor Day. That deal allows Florida residents to buy a one-day, one-park pass at the regular price and continue using it for the remainder of the year.
