Employee's free passes.....

Hey, I'm just wondering what the limit is on the guest passes that CP employees get. My sister is workin there for her first year this summer, and she said that she thought there was no limit.... but that didnt seem right to me. Any info is appreciated- thanks!

After a month of working there, you can get 4 comp tickets. Thats the limit per season.

Discounted tickets are also avalible. Not quite sure about the price..

If I remember correctly, the prices for the discounted tickets were around 30 bucks. Not sure on how different the prices are this year. Yes the discounted tickets are unliminted.

Another way to get some more free passses is to ask some friends who are from other countries. They are usually willing to either just give them to you or they'll charge next to nothing for them. Depends on how good of friends you are...Thank you Ivan for my tix! I miss you!

CP is really anal though about paying the international employees for tickets. So if you do it, don't let too many people know.

After u work 28 straight days u get 4 free tickets and if u get fired they get voided and if u quit u can still use them

and if u learn how 2 type on an MB u can also get free tix bcuz its the ezest thing in the world....

Sell 'em and you're FIRED. And it DOES happen.

James! You ARE allowed to give your comp tickets away. If there is NO compensation whatsoever, it's not against the rules to give them out. If you can't make use of them, someone else can. There must have been something else to the story.

Yea - afterall, I GIVE mine to my family usually! :) I really don't have much use for them! There must be something else you weren't told.

Lance is right. There is no penalty for giving away your tickets. Selling them -- whether between employees or on eBay -- is definitely not a good idea.

Be careful if you get tickets from anyone else who works at the park. You may later find out that (a) they were stolen and reported missing, or (b) they are from an employee who was fired and are no longer valid. In either situation, you would discover at a bad moment that those tickets aren't any good, maybe leaving your friends and family stranded outside the park with a lot of questions and no way in.

(Edit: And just because the English major in me is screaming with discontent, the word "employee's" can stand for "employee is". To refer to more than one employee in the possessive, use " employees' ". Yes, I know you don't care, but I feel better. ^_^ )

eek, i dont wanna start spreading rumors.

apparently it was believed the tickets were sold. We all know how tough it is to change managements mind once a decision has been made.

I guess just be cautious if you ever exchange tickets with another employee. You have no control over what other ppl say or thought you did.

think theres a concensus tho... donnnnnnnnnt sell them!

Fourteen internationals got fired and/or quit because some of their friends stole free tickets. Or so I heard.

Just don't do it. Use them for your friends and family, and you're cool.

After your contract is up you could in theory take your 4 tickets and lets say a ton of other tickets from foreigners (lets say Slovaks that work in the kitchen) and sell them out front making a quick couple $100 but that would be wrong of course. ;)

I have a slightly different question:

What if you are entering the park for free since you work there and you're cool like that. (on your day off or something) Are you allowed to bring a non-employee in with you? Even only just one, perhaps?

For Example:
I have a friend who works at Wyandot Lake. She has unlimited access to the park just was we do, but her unlimited access allows "her and one (1) guest to enter free."

I think I probably know whatyou're going to say, but I am hoping I am wrong... =)

You and only you. Hence why they give you 4 free tix and discounted ones.

I never knew about the unlimited discounted tickets.. I knew about the 4 free tickets after working 28 days there. But where would someone go to pick up discounted tickets? At the front gate or where?
