I have a platinum pass, but I am taking my sister tomorrow who does not have a pass. Are there any bring a friend for 9.99 deals or anything going on right now? I usually don't pay attention to ticket deals since I have a pass.

^ Use the bring-a-friend coupon that was e-mailed to last year's FunPerks members. It should work once per passholder, to buy up to 4 tickets. ($9.99/each for the early season, $19.99/each for the summer season)

I wonder if Kroger is selling Kings Island tickets yet. Those usually run about 30 bucks.

Kings Island tickets are for sale at most Kroger stores as of the past few days and they are 31 dollars. I also have a season pass but when I pay for my families tickets, that is usually the best option besides Bring a Friend Day.

Do call the Kroger you plan to stop at, though. Prices and availability will vary by store/region. You might save money by buying tickets further away from the park.

Last year, Kroger stores in Columbus didn't start until a few weeks into the season, if I recall correctly. I didn't see the display when I was there yesterday.

Unlike online tickets, there are no $5.99 processing fees, and at Kroger you earn fuel points.

...if you use your Kroger Plus card.

Terp, surrounded by Giants and Safeways and Shoppers Choices but no Krogers.

Ahhh, I forgot about the fun perks deal. Thanks.

If you work for a certain company, you can buy tickets for just $10/ea , talk about a money saver.

I doubt Sea World is one of those companies.

We got her ticket for 9.99 today. Thanks everyone.

I haven't seen any discounted tickets for KI yet either. Trying to find one for a friend in late May, but I wasn't a Funperks member last year, so I didn't get the coupon.

The only "discounts" i've seen were the funperks coupons and the Kroger/Meijer kiosks, which are a little cheaper.

I think my company has the perks for discounted tickets to the park, but I have my gold pass along with the people I go with anyway. It is a good deal if you have that luxury though.

If you have a AAA membership, you can buy tickets at your AAA office as well. In some areas, their price is cheaper than Kroger's. The cheapest ticket price I've seen at a Kroger was in Carrollton, Kentucky, on the way back from Holiday World.

The park also puts out gate coupons from time-to-time with varying discounts. The coupon in the Entertainment book makes the gate price about the same as the online price, and I've seen much larger discounts on coupons with targeted distribution. During Haunt, there are widely available admission coupons.

If you're looking to visit twice before the season is over, the $55 two-day ticket at the gate could be your best value, with no coupon needed.

Malem is correct, the cheapest ticket is the two day ticket that is sold at the park for $54.99. Also, check out your local credit union if you are a member there. If you travel and stay at a motel/hotel, check with them and see if they offer Kings Island promotions with your weekend stay.

Sorry it took so long to find but KI is having a bring a friend day on the following dates:

05/12/13, 06/16/13

Which just so happens to be Mother's Day and Father's Day, as per usual.
