Description
Summarize
Perspective
CityPASS is a privately held company that produces and sells discounted ticket packages (discounted from the regular admission prices) to groups of attractions in various metropolitan areas, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Southern California, Tampa Bay, and Toronto. Once travelers have purchased CityPASS tickets, they pay no additional fees to get into any of the included attractions.
The company chooses a select group of attractions within each city or region and then, working in cooperation with the attractions and the respective destinations, sells the ticket packages directly to consumers. For the destinations, being included in the CityPASS program is a way to position their city as an affordable option to potential visitors.[2][3]
The price of a CityPASS tickets are generally up to 50 percent less than the combined cost of purchasing the included tickets individually.[4][5] Southern California CityPASS tickets save about 30 percent on admission to four major theme parks: Disneyland, Disney California Adventure Park, Legoland California and SeaWorld San Diego, with the option of adding the San Diego Zoo or Safari Park for an additional cost.[6]
