How To Score the Best Deal on Six Flags Discount Tickets
As the days get warmer and summer gets closer, your thoughts turn to impending vacation days. How will you spend them? If you’ve got a Six Flags near you, you might be thinking of a day full of thrills, chills and spills. There are several ways to get the best deal on tickets to their nationwide theme parks, whether you want to take the family for a day trip or plan on visiting multiple times this season.
Current Deals
Prices depend on the park’s location and the specific kind of park you want to visit. Six Flags locations currently offers some deals, but they may not last long. On their website, tickets start at $29 and go all the way up to $329.
The best way to go all depends on how frequently you go to the theme park. For a single day, the basic ticket can range anywhere from $34-$65.
But for frequent visitors, Six Flags is currently offering three different “unlimited admission” programs at their outdoor parks through Labor Day. These include parking, and in some cases, Hurricane Harbor admission. All the parks have payment plans, ranging from 3 to 6 payment options, depending on what you need.
The Three Types of Passes Available

Another Option To Consider – Work While You Play
Another option you may not be aware of to maximize the Six Flags experience you can’t get enough of – Work While You Play.
At almost every Six Flags park, they are always looking for talented individuals. Parks are hiring ride operators, lifeguards, food & beverage team members, warehouse workers, security screeners & officers, and various full-time positions. You just have to be 16+ years of age to apply.
There are many perks and benefits for working at Six Flags, including flexible scheduling, 40% discount off food and beverages, and free admission for you and a friend, to name a few.
The process is easy – you go online and apply for a position. Six Flags offers in-person and virtual interviews and is available during the week and on weekends. Some locations have applications on a specific day each week depending on where you are, so double-check on the website.
Other Places To Look For Discounts
If none of these options work for you, don’t worry. There are a few other places that you can check for discounted tickets.
- AAA members receive $5 off the general admission with the “Discount and Reward” program by presenting your membership card at Six Flags ticket booths. But you can save MUCH more by buying your tickets online before you get to the park – 35% to 50% off!
- If your company provides Working Advantage Perks, you could score up between 35 and 60% off Six Flags tickets at locations across America. If you’ve never heard of this company, sending a quick email to your HR team could save you some serious money on this purchase.
- The back of a Coke Can – I’m serious! If you can’t find one at your store with the coupon printed on the back of a can, you can use the discount code COKE for discount tickets at Six Flags locations across the country.
Add-Ons To Consider
In addition to these deals throughout Six Flags, there are many add-on options that you may want to consider for your visit.
- The Gold Season THE FLASH Pass cuts your wait times in half. With this, it’s possible to go on twice the amount of rides in a single day.
- Another option is the 4-Meal dining plan, offering a choice of any four entrees to add to your Six Flags Pass. This 4-Meal plan is only available to Pass and Legacy Membership holders.
- A final option is a season photo pass. With this pass, you can capture ride photos, character meets & greets, and more. Again, this is only available to Pass and Legacy Membership holders.
