robbalvey Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Kinda sucks that I bought a season pass but I'm still paying to get in. I'm not sure you understand how it all works. You're paying for the "event" and the "event" includes admission. Â There is no season pass/non season-pass rate. Everything is one price. Â You have to remember there are a lot of costs that go into putting on an event like this and those costs cover things like: Â - Food - Drinks - Other catering - Operations costs for ERT - Animal trainers to come in early - Security, management, and guest services to come in early and stay late. - Etc, etc, etc... Â There are a lot of things that happen "behind the scenes" for an event like this, Termination Day, and West Coast Bash and all those things cost money and add up. Â We were able to offer a season pass/non-season pass rate for Termination Day because it was only one ride and a limited amount of staff was needed. For this event, the admission is basically "given away" and if we offered a non-season pass price, there would be very little discount, if any. Â For West Coast Bash, we did not offer that this year. Just like Bay Area Bash, everything was rolled into one cost. Â I hope that makes a bit more sense. Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aero21 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I totally understand. It's actually a really good deal, I cannot wait for this event! Do you know what animals the park is going to let us visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 ^ I'm actually not 100% sure yet, but I know they did mention something about wanting to feature the new Tiger exhibit to the group. I can just see it now... Â "Ok, which of you wants to get in the cage with the Tigers?" Â Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piers Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 ^I have a few people I would nominate! Are there any bird exhibits for Piers!?!?!  Thats not even funny, Im already thinking about not going on our sightseeing trip as the only pictures I have seen for Venice Beach look like out-takes from 'The Birds'.  That said though, trick me once Elissa, I wont let you trick me twice...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Um, it was a group effort to get you inside that aviary, you were so funny Piers. But you should do the sight seeing, as the birds do not typically attack. That only happens at Sea World! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath513 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 You all need to get Tyler in the lorikeet aviary so he can face his fears of being crapped all over by the birds like during our takeover of BGE's lorikeet aviary last year! Â Here's the picture. Â Â I believe Robb also got crapped on as well. Â Â Too bad I won't be back to northern California until the day after, because if I was around, I would totally go to this.

coasterobsessive Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Would it be wrong of me to say we could use our Six Flags Season Passes (with parking) to save that $15? Or will that not be allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 ^ I used my SFDK season pass with parking at TPR Termination day at SFMM. I don't see any reason we couldn't use them at SFDK for the Bay Area bash, but I can't say that I know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFreak Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 ^^Absolutely not, if parking is not included and you already have parking it's not like they will turn you away from the booths if you don't pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikabud Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 This is so exciting. My roommates and I will actually be in San Francisco attending a conference at this time and would love to come to our first event. We were actually trying to figure out how to make it to Six Flags using public transit, but it wasn't fitting into our schedule so well. Â We will be in downtown San Francisco and would love it if someone local could pick us Kentucky bumpkins up. We will gladly pay for your parking and a snowcone. Please let me know soon, so we can register. I would greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jody Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I recently purchased 4 tickets for the Bay Area Bash, and I was curious about how I'll be getting the tickets. I'm uncertain as to how this is going to work (if I have to go pick up the tickets somewhere, or if they are mailed to me, etc.) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 ^ If past events are an indication, there will be a registration table at the park the morning of the event and you will show up and they will give you your ticket/bracelet for the event.

georgeriley15 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'd like to attend the ERT, but would rather skip the morning (and the long day at SFDK on "Furlough Friday" with 90,000 State Employees). Does registration have to be picked up in the morning or can it be picked up at Will Call or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 ^According to the FAQs on the attached flyer in the first post, you have to be there on the morning of Aug. 7 between 8:30 and 9:15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeriley15 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I should re-phrase: If someone registers, then fails to arrive on time to the event, will the registration be held at Guest Relations or will it be forfeit? Â I guess I could show up early and then go wine-tasting or something. Â Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piers Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Â I guess I could show up early and then go wine-tasting or something. Â Thanks for the reply. Â There is wine in the park! Â This is likely where you will find me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeriley15 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Oh yeah, they serve alcohol there. I'm too used to SFMM. Well, for what it's worth, Napa is only about 20 minutes to the North; although tasting in Napa would cost more than drinking at SFDK. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrock Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well, I wasn't going to go because I need to be in LA the next day. But, I'll just have to wake up early and drive down. It should be a fun event. Plus, I have been meaning to get up there again. I look forward to the shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
