It seems this year the on-the-gate price for theme park admission has gone up to £46.20. This is a £4.20 rise from the 2012 admission price at the start of the season!
BOGOFFS still come at a reasonable price of £23.10 - not that bad at all.
Ticket prices from over the years (I cannot guarantee all prices are correct):
1980 - 1981: £2.50
1982: £3
1983: £3.95
1985: £4.99
1988: £7.99
1990: £9.50
1997: £18.50
1998 - 1999: £19.50
2000: £21
2001: £22
2002: £23.50
2004: £26
2005: £28
2006: £29.50
2007: £32
2008: £34
2009: £36
2010: £38
2011: £39
2012: £42
2013: £46.20
So what are peoples views on the price rise this year? No surprise? Shocked? Couldn't care less?
Edit: A very useful post put together by Dan (post on second page of this topic) - shows a good perspective of the price increases.
