ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION CEDAR POINT – Back in April we highlighted a special offer through The Arthritis Foundation for discounted tickets to Cedar Point. While that particular offer is now expired, it still is alive in a slightly less appealing offer.

Tickets are available for purchase from June 1 and August 24, 2014. Donors can purchase tickets for $45.00 each, a savings of $14.99 off the retail price.

By comparison, purchasing tickets online directly from Cedar Point, the tickets are $49.99.

Note, regardless of how you purchase your Cedar Point tickets online, there is a Processing Fee of $5.99 (1-2 tickets), $6.99 (3-4 tickets), or $9.99 (5-10 tickets) added to each order.

In addition to getting a great offer on tickets, you will also be helping a great cause because $2 of every ticket sold benefits The Arthritis Foundation’s Walk to Cure Arthritis.

To purchase tickets, visit www.cedarpoint.com/affiliates. At the prompts, please use the following:

Username: arthritis (all lowercase)
Password: 2014

You will be sent to the page to purchase your tickets at the discounted price. Your special ticket pricing shows up under the “special events” tab on this page. Valid any one day Cedar Point is open to the public during the 2014 season (including HalloWeekends®). Valid for anyone between the ages of 3-61 who is 48″ tall or taller in shoes.

CEDAR POINT WENDY’S – A friend alerted me yesterday morning that Cleveland and surrounding area Wendy’s restaurants locations have a Cedar Point discount on the drink cups.

After purchasing the cup at Wendy’s, take it to Cedar Point and save $12 off the cost of one-day admission. Valid only Sunday-Friday. Not valid Saturdays or with any other coupon or discount offer. Cannot be used on Junior, Senior, or multi-day tickets.

Only one cup per ticket purchased. Valid only through September 1, 2014.

Is the Wendy’s Cup promotion a deal?

A standard day ticket to Cedar Point is $59.99. However, there are often significant discounts to get you into the park for cheaper.

For example, just by purchasing your tickets online at least three days in advance, you can get them for $44.99. Cedar Point is currently promoting their Ride & Refresh ticket, which for $49.99 gets you admission to the park plus an all day drink wristband.

So the Wendy’s drink cup will drop the price to $47.99.

The thing to realize is that online orders on Cedar Point’s website come with a Processing Fee. $4.99 for 1-2 tickets, $6.99 for 3-4 tickets, and $9.99 for 5-10 tickets. This fee adds to the price, making the Wendy’s cup the least expensive option.

The above comparison also does not account for discounted tickets that are available for hotel guests. If staying at a Cedar Point hotel, guests can purchase discounted tickets for only $39.

For standard guests, I would be more tempted to purchase at least one of the ride and refresh tickets, as an all-day drink wristband can be very value for keeping a family hydrated. With several Coca-Cola Freestyle locations scattered around the park, this means you not only have access to soda, but unlimited combinations of flavored waters and Powerades. Typically, an all day drink cup is $9.99 when purchased online, making the Ride & Refresh ticket promotion a nice savings.
