Palace Season Pass
By: depotrat Date: February 1, 2021, 11:15 am

Palace is now making Platinum passes good at all Palace parks.
I am wondering if we can upgrade the unused passes from 2020 to
Platinum.

Funny you should ask. I’ve chatted with the park about it and
actually sent a follow up over the weekend. Hoping we’ll haven’t
more info soon one way or the other.

I think it's a good question. Which version did you have because
this is an upgrade of theire2020 base that allowed access to
only the 2 other NE parks. Storyland and Santa's Village. I
suspect since the pass is extended for the year you might have
to wait and do it next year. but that's just a guess. if you
have bought it last year before it was announced and then wanted
the upgrade I think it might be easier. but I have found from
conversations that the chain is very accommodating.
I think this is a great movie. it makes the pass more
competitive with SFI's pass and there are a lot of park options
in PA and the east coast. even if they can get a few dozen to
travel and check out some of the NE parks or get extra attention
to their PA parks it's a good movie.

We are about due for a trip to Kennywood. We have not ridden
Steel Curtain yet as our last visit was 2017. I think that
might make the upgrade worth it alone.

Admission to LC is I think $42 a day So even if you only paned
to hit LC a few times and 1 of the other NE parks you could get
your money's worth out of it. If you're planning to go to PA
then hands down it's a good movie.
I'm thinking of getting it just to hit the local parks. I have
been to LC a few times in the last few years but it's been about
5 years since I've been to Storyland when I had a basic season
pass for a few years and I have;t been to Water Country in close
to 20 years.

Except we already have a pass for LC for 2021 due to the
extension of the 2020 pass. So the question for us is will the
cost of the upgrade be less than one day at other parks total.
Obviously I will need the availability and cost of the upgrade
to decide.

So as of now the answer is that there are no upgrade options
available from a 2020 to a 2021 season pass. Park said since
pass tiers and benefits have completely changed for 2021, they
will not be upgrading 2020 Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Gold Deluxe
Season Passes to any of the new 2021 Season Passes. However, if
anyone purchased a 2021 season pass on or after October 16, 2020
then your pass will qualify for the Dayback Guarantee
(HTM) https://www.lakecompounce.com/plan-a-visit/season-passes#dayback<br
/>the park is now offering towards the 2022 season.

Big mistake. They have an opportunity to get MORE MONEY from
people who otherwise would give them $0.00 for the year. The
math isn't difficult. Take whatever amount was paid for the
original 2020 pass and apply it to the price of the upgrade to
platinum pass. Sure it probably could not be done on line but
at Customer Care it shouldn't be difficult. If they think
anyone is just going to abandon the 2020 pass and buy a new 2021
pass to get that perk they are deluded. I think I paid $75 for
the 2020. Just charge me another $75 and give me the platinum
upgrade.
$75 x however many people want to upgrade = REAL MONEY $75 x
nobody because you don't want to do the math = ZERO MONEY. I
think whoever made that decision is guilty of bad business.

I did mention that since I agree. Also could be a good way to
get people to try the platinum pass to see if they like it and
go with it next year. Seems like a simple way to get some extra
cash flow coming in. Otherwise why would you need a 2021 pass if
you had a 2020.

Exactly right and it costs them almost nothing to get the extra
$75 that they have no chance of getting without an upgrade.
That makes the additional $75 booked as 100% profit. It makes
no sense to not take the money. They could probably even getaway
with a small "processing fee" too. Taking money from customers
is kinda rule one in business.
