Unfortunately there's a lot of folks looking for the same thing you are. Hope you have some luck. I would have been happy to let you use mine had we not taken a spur of the moment trip yesterday and my daughter bringing an extra person.

i am new to the board so i hope i am in the correct area. I see on the sdc website that you can now purchase tickets and use the flex pay...i have two questions.
.. are the season passholders getting free guest passes even if we wait till after the 31st to purchase?or is this an addition to free guest passes to season pass holders?
.. and if i use the flex pay would i still get the free guess passes.

we have not bought season passes in a few years and i know they have changed up the rules some so im just checking..

thanks for anyone who can maybe explain it better..

What is a BAF. We go Branson every 2 years for family reunion for the last 3 reunions. We are thinging about a season pass vs daily ticket so we would have to worry about schedules. Wish they were trasferable to my uncle when we leave. I am trying to squeeze as much value as possible out our vacation.

A BAF is a bring a friend ticket. Season passholders who purchase passes before the season begins receive bring a friend tickets. Some BAFs allow free admission. Some BAFs are for $10 admission. The BAFs a season passholder receives is based on how early the passes are bought. Generally the free BAFs are given when people buy season passes by December 31. For example, the people who bought 2011 season passes purchased the passes by 12/31/10 in order to get the BAF free admissions. If they bought season passes in January - March, they received the $10 BAFs.

You can still buy season passes now but you will not get BAFs with the pass. Season passes are not transferrable.

so am in understanding this that sdc does not give you guest passes with season passholders any more ONLY when and if you buy before certain date?

I got an e-mail today that they had extended the deadline to February 6th. I'm glad business is brisk. This great weather we're having really makes you think about getting to SDC.

sanddunerider · February 01, 2012, 09:10:23 AM

They always extend the "special" deal.. have for years..

i think about march 1st they stop..

BUT hey i bet if you called, they will sell it!! LOL

MissinTheGreenTrams · February 26, 2012, 04:13:52 PM

I have been reading on facebook that my friends have purchased tickets to SDC and they are so excited which is great, but does anyone else feel sometimes you just want the goodness of the park to yourselves? That you share EVERYTHING else with them that sharing the park is unbearable. But then summer comes around and your glad that they have passes so you can share the park with them and have a great time despite the poo pooing you made early on???

I am glad we can share out BAF's with anybody and they can get in.....

HOWEVER i wish there was a way to control the selling of BAF's! That is just WRONG!! and it really irritates me ( actually i have another word!)..

SORRY!! Just makes me mad!!

climbing off the soapbox now.,...
deep breaths....
ok.
I am fine now., LOL!

I too get very angry when I see the BAF passes for sale on Craig's List or in the local papers. If for some odd reason we do not use them we make sure to bring them to the park and get others in. Most folks, if they believe you're willing to do that for a stranger, are grateful.

I would like to join you on that soapbox if that's ok with you! lol

That should not be an issue any longer.
I ask friends at work that have kids especially single parents if they could use them. My offer is for them to meet me at the gate on a certain day and time and I will get them in. I am not the tour guide just the person that walks them through the gate. $50 a kid is steep any way you slice it in today's economy, especially for a single parent. If I get no takers I sit outside the water wheel on the rocks and pick someone that looks like they could use the break. Its a little profiling but I like helping someone who is on a tight budget enjoy there day. Possibly by freeing up some admittance cash for snacks and fun.
Do you guys give yours away? Whats your preferred method?

MissinTheGreenTrams · March 13, 2012, 08:31:51 AM

I give mine to friends. My DH doesnt do the stranger thing too well. If I happen to be going on a certain date I ask around iff someone wants them. I tell them general its a family day and while I would adore hanging with them our family time is limited. We will do a few rides with them but other than that we are just a means to get them in....

mhguy77 · April 14, 2012, 03:51:14 PM

So next weekend I am going to the city and friends from the area are meeeting me.
I have 2 bring a friend passes and that will cover 2 of the friends that are meeting up with us but the other question is what can I do for the others? $5 off per ticket is that the best deal? We will have there will be 7 others besides the 2 we will use the BAF on. Any suggestions?

sanddunerider · April 14, 2012, 05:34:40 PM

MH!! I will be there early sunday with BAF's available... does that help?

mhguy77 · April 14, 2012, 05:45:08 PM

Well that may work great. I would like to get this co worker in and her kids as she is a single Mom raising her kids alone by working without aid ( I admire that). I can get in 2, the other 2 were going to be paid for out of her pocket. If we are there a the same time that would be a great help to her. What time do you usually arrive at the park?
