Seeing that the general admission tickets are regularly $59.99 and tickets for those 48″ and under are $39.99, it might be a good idea to check out the list. So without further delay, here are 11 ways you may be able to save on Six Flags admission:

1. Buy your ticket online from the Six Flags Great America, Chicago website. Remember, general admission Six Flags tickets are $59.99 at the park. If you buy your general admission ticket online, by using the big, green Tickets button on the upper right corner of the Six Flags website, you will get $20 off the ticket price! It’s that easy!

2. Bring a Coca-Cola can or a can from any Coke product that has a Six Flags offer on it to the Six Flags ticket booth and receive a discount.

The discount on the 2011 Coke products is for $15 off the price of general admission. I guess the hardest part about this special offer for Six Flags tickets at a discounted price, is popping in the store to buy a Coke. Hhhmm, not too hard to do for $15!

 

Coke, the official soft drink of Six Flags Great America if you hadn’t already guessed, also has a program called MyCokeRewards which is so interesting it deserves it’s very own post – coming soon. But with planning, persistance, and drinking a lot of Coke, of course, you earn free Six Flags tickets and “pay” with your MyCokeRewards.

3. Buy a Tony’s Pizza and save on two Six Flags tickets. All you have to do is purchase any Tony’s frozen pizza at your favorite grocery store and you can save $15 off each of two general admission tickets to Six Flags.

4. Go to the Gurnee Amusement park with a Six Flags season pass holder and save BIG or even get a FREE SIX FLAGS TICKET. You’ve heard the saying, “it pays to have friends in high places,” well this is definitely true if your friend has a season pass to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee. With their season pass, your friend got a Six Flags value book that is loaded with discounts for friends. There is a coupon for $10 off the general admission price. Then there are coupons for selected dates to bring a friend for only $10 or to bring a friend for only $15. There are several coupons to bring a friend for 1/2 price and here’s the granddaddy of them all… (drum roll please) There are four coupons for four different weeks when a Six Flags season pass holder can get their friend a FREE SIX FLAGS TICKET! The next one coming up is for August 22-26. You might want to give your friend in high places a call now.

5. Go to Six Flags in Gurnee with a group and save a lot. Groups of at least 20 can get Six Flags prepaid general admission tickets for $30.99 per ticket. That’s a $29 savings per ticket off the general admission price. All you need to do is buy Six Flags Group Rate Tickets online using the big, green Tickets button. So call up 19 friends, maybe at your work, school, religious organization, or youth group; or put together a family reunion and buy your prepaid group tickets online.

If you didn’t think recreational reading and roller coasters had anything to do with each other, then think again. K-6 students simply join Six Flags Read to Succeed, complete six hours of recreational, non-school reading, and earn admission to the Gurnee Six Flags theme park. I like to think of it as six hours for Six Flags.
