The Costco tickets are vouchers with a code that you redeem online. Unlike regular online ticket purchases, there are no surcharges or transaction fees with these vouchers.
Are the Costco tickets dated and timed for entrance time? If not, when can they be used?
I went on a Twilight Tuesday night, just last week. Not crowded at all! Had a great time. However, I did not get the Pharoh’s Gold Card. Was that suppose to be picked up at the front counter? (if you know?)
Know of any discounts at the counter? e.g. AAA card or the like?
thanks.
Cool. Thanks Russell. (I love it when people post info on deals! I checked it out and added the info for getting the deal above. If you go, write in and tell us about it.
