Question citypass.com

Has anyone ever purchased from this site before? I just want to make sure it's a legit offer before I use it to buy attraction tickets.

Thanks!

I have used a citypass before although I am not sure if I purchased them from the website or not. I think they were a nice value. I remember it including public transportation for 10 days and free admissions to a number of museums (and I tend to be a museum freak on long business trips and vacations -- I know, I know watch out nightlife).

Of course I would check and see how many of the attractions I need to visit and find out the individual cost.

I have bought the Citypass in both San Francisco and Philadelphia and thought it was a terrific bargain in both. I also know of someone that bought the Seattle package and they really enjoyed that one, too. They make their money off people not going to all the attractions in the package, so if you prove them wrong and make it to everything then you can save a lot of money. The real value of them varies from city to city, as do the privileges (i.e. transportation was included in SFX, but not in PHL), but overall they are great. Totally legit.

Thumbs up check Costco.com

I bought Southern California CityPass booklets for our family Spring Break trip last month. It included admissions to Disneyland (3 day), Knotts, SeaWorld, SD Zoo or Animal Park, along with buy 1 get 1 free Amtrak. The price on Costco.com was much less than citypass.com. I am a Costco member so I did not pay the surcharge. One unadvertised benefit is that we could bypass the entrance lines. Cool! ^

I see that they have a 15 day limit to use all of the tickets within the package. How do they really enforce this? I mean could I use just the disney/knotts berry farm tickets, the EBAY the rest?

I see costco has em for $165.. i could probably make that back just by selling the remaining tickets ALONE!

Seems too good to be true tho so I'm sure they have some measure in place to prevent that..

Any thoughts?

Link is below to mouseplanet compilation of ticket options is below.

I had relatives visiting over spring break who bought their city passes at Sea World and used them at DL and Zoo. The first time you use them, they do mark a date. If you don't want the extra parks, I think a three-day hopper pass would be cheaper.

The tickets are not valid if taken out of the booklet, so you cannot sell individual admissions. If, in your example, Disney and Knotts do not stamp the date, then you can try to transfer or eBay the remainder. For me, it was worth the price since we visited Disneyland for 3 days, Knotts, SeaWorld, and SD Zoo.
