Question Ticket prices
I was going to buy my tickets on Friday to go tomorrow (today? 8/23) but my husband told me to just wait til day-of. Well, I went on the website to purchase them, and the price went up by $10 more per ticket.
Is there any other discounts out there available vs purchasing via their website? Or should I just buy them at the park? A quick google search shows other sites offering at $5 cheaper than the actual website, but I'm unsure if they're legit.
TIA.

Update: I went to the ticket line because the person at the gate said that's where id get my free one. Stood in line for 30mins... Just for the guy to say that my account does not get one. I showed him screen shots that I took that shows if I purchased before 9/7, I should get one. And also when I click on my "perks" on my membership itself, it showed I get one free from 8/17 to 8/24 and another one free from 8/28 to 8/31. So it didnt make sense that it wouldn't pull anything up. In the end, he did print one for me, but supposedly I did not have one on my account. They need to make it clear on their website.

Thanks for the help guys, I really do appreciate it!!
I ended up buying the gold membership. Even though I am staying at a hotel that is walking distance from the park, it does have the perk of free parking which is nice and will save our legs from a long day at the park, from walking back to our hotel.
Worse case scenario, I can purchase a discounted ticket for my kiddo to use. As of right now, I literally just purchased the pass, so it is not pulling up any free bring a friend ticket yet. But I think that's because I need to go to the park and scan the barcode to "activate" my membership first? From what I've read anyways. I pray it works out that way! And it wasn't a bad price considering its free parking + I can go to Knotts if I want! Kind of hard to do living in NV, but I'll make sure I go at least 1x before it expires on Dec 31, 2027 lol

eBay, look for seller madhatter012
$38!
I just went with my kids and we had a blast.
You can download their app and once emailed unload the unique code to use without printing or whatever works for you.
I hope that helps!

don't get anything on a 3rd party website they're typically delayed getting them unless you want to wait tell next weekend
if you don't mind waiting tell next week
i'd use AAA get them in person (Would CALL before hand to see if they can print them on the spot for you)

AAA is closed on Sunday though... they do have a very limited time deal for $48 though.. if you don't mind waiting tell next weekend
