Technical FAQs

During Checkout for *my* offer, it says “guest name” – does this mean I can bring an extra guest with me?

We apologize for any confusion here: No. As our special guest, this is meant for YOUR name that will appear on your pass.

Certain promotions, like Active Duty military, may also have options for dependent tickets – however, you will select a quantity for these and be prompted for each additional guest name as separate entries during checkout.

Can I exchange or trade-up my item for a pass?

Please review the terms for each offer.  In most cases, this promotional product cannot be exchanged or transferred, unless explicitly stated.

Who else can I bring – what if they’re not immediate family?

Each offer page (active duty, veteran/retired, teacher, first responder, etc.) have individual terms for that offer; please read the details for each for eligibility requirements about the offer for which you’re eligible.  Every attendee will need a ticket/card, so be sure you have the correct quantity selected to account for every member of your party!
