SeaWorld San Diego discount tickets: Is it easy to get San Diego Sea World discount tickets? YES---incredibly easy!

In the following sections on this page, we'll discuss the various types of discounts that SeaWorld San Diego offers. Then, take your pick!
Brand new SeaWorld discount for 2010!
SAN DIEGO GO CARD now includes Sea World!
Multi-attraction savings plan now includes Sea World!
The popular San Diego Go Card multi-attraction discount pass has now included Sea World on its long list of attractions included in the program. This is such exciting news for San Diego visitors because it makes the cost of one-day visits to Sea World more affordable than ever before!
The San Diego Go Card is ideal for out-of-town vacationers because it allows them to see a wide variety of San Diego's fabulous attractions...WITHOUT having to pay full price at ANY of them!
All of San Diego's most popular tourist attractions are included in the Go San Diego Card discount ticket program. For one low price, you may visit Legoland and its on-site Sea Life Aquarium; you may tour the world-famous San Diego Zoo and its sister-park, The San Diego Wildlife Park.
Other popular places to visit in San Diego that are included on this popular San Diego sight-seeing plan include Knott's Soak City water park in Chula Vista (open seasonally); the museums of Balboa Park; the San Diego Embarcadero's USS Midway Museum; plus a host of other attractions and tours...including Gaslamp Quarter tours, whale-watching cruises, harbor tours, and day-trips to Mexico!
The biggest drawback? Having to plan ahead about how many days you'd like to tour & what sights you'd like to see on your San Diego trip. That's because the Go San Diego card isn't sold at any of its member attractions. It's best to order the Go Cards ahead of time, because there are only a small handful of offices where you can pick them up when you arrive. I've used the Go Card discount pass myself...and I can vouch for the fact that it's readily accepted at the member attractions on its list.

A super Sea World Discount Ticket -- the
SeaWorld San Diego Fun Card!
The SeaWorld San Diego Fun Card gives you admission for the day of your purchase, then gives you unlimited admissions for the REST OF THIS YEAR FREE! As of this update (March 2010) the Sea World Fun Card costs $69 for adults (and $59 for kids ages 3 through 9.) Now, how's THAT for a great discount! Since it's difficult to see all of the shows and exhibits at Sea World San Diego in only one day anyway, this offer represents a great chance to linger at favorite attractions (instead of rushing about to see everything in one day.) Even if you only spend 3 days at Sea World this year, you'll cut your price-per-day to only $23 with a SeaWorld Fun Card. As you return throughout the year to enjoy the special seasonal events that Sea World San Diego stages, your savings become even greater with time! The San Diego Sea World Fun Card expires Dec 31, 2010---so the sooner you get your card, the more days of fun you may have.Sea World's Fun Cards are sold on their California Resident's page. However, you don't need to be a local resident to purchase & use a Sea World Fun Card. Here's a link to the SeaWorld San Diego California Resident's page where you can discover details about this popular discount ticketing plan.
But, what if you can only visit for one or two days...and you CAN'T come back later this year? SeaWorld often offers various print-at-home discounts for one or two-day tickets, as well. To check out current print-at-home tickets and SeaWorld San Diego Fun Cards, here's a link to the theme park's official Print-at-home ticketing page.

Fun Cards are really SUPER deals for people who can make it to the park more than once. But, what if you only have one or two days to visit Sea World? Then the Fun Card doesn't really help you out in that case.
ARES Travel discount tickets: The popular Southern California travel discount agency, ARES Travel, is now selling SeaWorld discount tickets. The deals they offer change from time to time. Here's a link to the SeaWorld San Diego discount tickets page of the ARES Travel website so you can check out the current print-at-home specials.

"Show your card and save" discounts (that you can get in-person at SeaWorld's ticket booths.) Since AAA discounts change from time to time, and can be different depending on the region where you live, it's always best for members to check the AAA website to get the freshest, latest information.

Here's a link to the VisitCalifornia.com's Sea World Discount Coupon for visitors to this fun San Diego park.
Sea World Discount Tickets -- Multi-Park Specials
There are 3 excellent multi-park specials you can enjoy. Whether you're a tourist or a "local," one thing is certain: you'll want to visit as many of the terrific Southern California attractions as possible! These money-saving multi-park specials are a great way to do that.1.) The Southern California City Pass---
This 5-park pass saves you more than 30% over purchasing your tickets to these same attractions separately! That's like getting a free admission to one of the attractions! For $269 adults/$229 kids, you'll get 3 days at Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure (these are "park hopper" tickets which let you roam freely back and forth between the 2 parks in the same day); 1 day's admission to Universal Studios Hollywood; 1 day's admission to Sea World in San Diego; and 1 day's admission to the world-acclaimed San Diego Zoo (OR to the San Diego Wild Life Park, if you'd prefer.)
What a pass! It keeps even the most ambitious tourists busy! I've used the CityPass special offer myself when showing my own out-of-town relatives around town...and have found it to be easy-to-use and hassle-free. For more info on the Southern California CityPass, use the following link to view the
Southern California page of the CityPass website.
The cost for this 3-attraction pass is $121 for adults and $99 for children. You may purchase your tickets in person at any one of these 3 attractions, or on-line at the websites for these attractions (see link below.)
3.) SeaWorld/Universal Studios combo tickets--- Many visitors to Southern California plan to visit both SeaWorld San Diego AND Universal Studios Hollywood, anyway---so why not buy a ticket that covers BOTH parks AND saves you money at the same time? The Southern California Value Pass costs $109/adults or $99/kids. Here's a direct link to the
Sea World San Diego ticketing page where you can read more about these multi-park specials and decide which one would be best for you and your family.
Sea World Discount Tickets -- Silver and Platinum Annual Passports
The Sea World Fun Card (discussed above) provides exactly the right type of discount for you if you'll be visiting SeaWorld San Diego 2 or 3 times during the year. When should frequent visitors upgrade their Fun Cards to Silver or Platinum Annual Passes? What would be the benefits of upgrading to an annual pass?1.) If you'll be visiting SeaWorld San Diego 4 or more times this year---not hard to do, if you visit several times during the summer, then return for Halloween and Christmas seasonal events. Both the Silver and the Platinum annual passes include free parking. Considering that SeaWorld parking costs $12+ on each park visit, the frequent Sea World guest will save money in the long run by buying a premium annual pass instead of the Fun Card.
2.) If you'd like to take advantage of SeaWorld's "EZ Pay Option" (which is available for purchasing an annual pass...but NOT for purchasing a SeaWorld Fun Card)---
If you don't have much money in the bank...but you do have a regular steady income, you can get into SeaWorld with your family CHEAPLY for today...then make installment payments throughout the rest of the year! I have a SeaWorld annual pass using the EZ Pay option, and the ability to make small monthly payments is exactly the reason WHY. When there's no money in the bank for even the reasonably-priced Fun Cards, signing up for Sea World annual passes via the EZ Pay system (and making the relatively small down payment) can get a whole family of 4 into the park cheaper than buying each person a Fun Card. Small monthly payments are withdrawn automatically every month...and meanwhile, your family keeps on having fun at Sea World anytime they'd like! On top of that, you'll be treated like a king or queen with special up-close parking in a guarded lot, reserved seating at shows, and invitations to special events. It's honestly a dream come true for SeaWorld-lovers on a budget!
For example, Silver annual passes for adults and/or kids cost $109 when paid in-full, but you can get them for only $9.08 per person per month via the EZ payment plan on a 12-month committment. With a 24-month committment, payments per person cost only $6.63 per month.
Or, you may choose the Platinum adult and/or child passes which cost a bit more...but you'll pay only $10.79 per month (based on a 24-month committment) by making EZ payments. If you plan to get annual passes for multiple family members this year, you may appreciate having this EZ pay option. It makes SeaWorld's very best annual pass truly affordable for families!
I chose the EZ Pay Platinum Pass option back in 2006 (and still maintain it), and I've been very pleased with it. I've received discounts when I've taken SeaWorld Behind the Scenes tours, when I've dined with Shamu, and every time I eat at "regular" SeaWorld restaurants, too. Whenever I buy SeaWorld merchandise at the park, then I get another discount. Also, I've taken road trips to Texas and Florida. With my Platinum Sea World pass, I got to visit both SeaWorld San Antonio and Sea World Orlando---with no out-of-pocket expenses---as part of my annual pass benefits! (See below for more info about getting into SeaWorld's "sister parks" free.) Plus, it has been so "painlessly affordable." I don't miss the small monthly payments coming out of my bank account...but if I were paying the regular admission price for all the Sea World visits I've made, it would have seemed so expensive! SeaWorld doesn't pay me to say this or to recommend their annual passes; I'm telling you this simply because I think their EZ Pay plan is very good deal. If you're interested in this option, you may use the following link to view the EZ Pay Information page of the SeaWorld San Diego website.
The SeaWorld/Busch Gardens theme parks where you'll get free admission if you're a Platinum pass holder (or 50%-off admission prices if you're a Silver annual pass member) are as follows---
* SeaWorld Orlando (Florida)
* Aquatica water park (adjacent to Sea World Orlando)
* SeaWorld San Antonio (Texas; includes free water park within SeaWorld)
* Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa, Florida
* Adventure Island water park (across from Busch Gardens in Tampa)
* Busch Gardens theme park in Williamsburg, Virginia
* Water Country USA in Virginia
* Sesame Place in Pennsylvania
