Universal has announce a new ticket offer for us! From September 14th through March 14, 2019, all 2 and 3 Park 2 Day Base and Park-to-Park tickets will receive 2 additional days free! So any 2 Day ticket will automatically be given 2 extra days! You can do this for ALL tickets EXCEPT the 2 Day Base. When selling a 2 Park – 2 Day Base ticket, be sure to ask your guests if they will be using the additional free days. If they don’t or they’re not interested, instead of printing the 2-Park – 4 Day Base Promo ticket, you should print the 2 Park – 2 Day Base In Market ticket. This ticket is given to us at a LOWER cost which makes your commission HIGHER. So be sure to ask your guests this when selling these tickets so you can make more money! As always, the tickets printed must match what is put in the POS.
UNIVERSAL’S HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS
Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) started this past weekend. This year we are selling a 2 Night FlexTicket that is not available online or at the gate. Basically this ticket will allow 2 admissions for HHN on any Sunday – Thursday event night. Fridays and Saturdays ARE EXCLUDED for this ticket. You can sell it as “Buy a night, get a night free” or “Two nights for the price of one”. We will be trying to sell it for the retail price of $123 inclusive, however you can match the online price of $88 inclusive if you need to. The two nights do NOT have to be consecutive. If fact, they can be used ON ANY NIGHT during all event dates as long as they are NOT A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY. Be sure to check your HHN calendar for event nights. remember, just because we say Sunday – Thursday nights DOES NOT mean they have them every night. Last year we had someone sell one for a Tuesday night and there are never dates on Monday or Tuesday nights. So be sure to check your calendar. Don’t forget! You MUST tell your guests that Universal Orlando CLOSES AT 6 PM ON HHN EVENT NIGHTS!
SEA WORLD WEEKDAY TICKETS – MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
Sea World has rolled out this special offer again. Through Activity Link we will be selling the weekday tickets for $69 inclusive. RezGo users have it for $85. This is a GREAT deal and it is NOT available online or at the gate, so be sure to mention it to your guests! Remember to ask your guests “What day will you be visiting the park?”. If they want to go on a Saturday or Sunday, you must sell them the regular One Day admission tickets.
LEGOLAND
We really need to PUSH Legoland tickets more! Legoland offers you the HIGHEST commission of ANY One Day Theme Park ticket! Remember to offer the free shuttle that picks up behind ICON Orlando (Orlando Eye) at 9 am everyday. Don’t forget that they are now operating their FALL SCHEDULE, meaning they are CLOSED TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS in September, and WEDNESDAYS in October. The Water Park is now ONLY open on the weekends. Always check the calendar before selling any tickets.
NOW SELLING THE HOLY LAND EXPERIENCE THROUGH ACTIVITY LINK
As was previously mention, for ACTIVITY LINK USERS ONLY, you can now sell the Holy Land Experience. The commission on these tickets is $3 per person, so that’s a very good commission! Don’t forget that the Holy Land Experience IS CLOSED SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS and most holidays.
DISNEY 2 AND 3 DAY BASE TICKETS WITH FREE HOPPING
The Free Hopper option on all 2 and 3 Day Disney tickets continues through September 30th. If someone purchases these tickets and does NOT begin using them, they will have until December 31, 2019 to finish using them. All sales will discontinue as of 9/30, but the offer will begin again at the end of October.
MICKEY’S NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY (MNSSHP)
MNSSHP continues every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday and some Thursdays through October 31st. Guest with our tickets can enter the park as early as 4 pm. You must tell the regular park-goers on these dates that THE MAGIC KINGDOM CLOSES AT 6 PM. So if you have someone going to the Magic Kingdom on a MNSSHP date, they may be better off going to MNSSHP and entering the park at 4 pm instead of being kicked out at 6 pm. We will inform you as soon as we hear about any particular night being sold out, but if you have PREVIOUSLY sold ticket to a sold out night, the guest is still good to go! If you are unable to activate tickets for a certain night, that means it’s SOLD OUT. The incentive continues where for every 10 MNSSHP tickets you sell during a pay period, you will get an additional $20! Also, from 9/17 to 9/21, the TOP 5 SALES PEOPLE OF MNSSHP TICKETS WILL RECEIVE 4 TICKETS TO THE MNSSHP EVENT ON SUNDAY, 9/23!
INCENTIVES
We have a TON of incentives going on, so be sure to look at the Bulletin Board in When to Work to see what you should be pushing. Keith is trying to keep it up to date, but there are a LOT of ways to make extra money and win prizes! Here are just a few of the attractions running incentives: Mickey’s Not So Scary, Enterprise Rent a Car, Blue Man Group, Boggy Creek Airboat Rides, and Hard Rock Cafe. In addition, don’t forget the Wonderworks Orlando Fun Partners event on Wednesday, 9/26!
ENTERPRISE FIRST, THEN DOLLAR/THRIFTY/HERTZ
Enterprise is now our first choice for rental cars. Dollar/Thrifty/Hertz should be used as a back up. We have shoppers checking on rental cars and anyone using any other company other than these will be reprimanded and/or terminated (with the exception of having a different company in your lobby).
