Most Expensive Jump tickets....

[TrickyDicky 0]

I was just wondering what the most expensive jump tickets (slots) in the world were. I get the feeling the UK is a contender for first place. Generally tickets range from £18-21 ($31.50 - $36.75) with the most expensive Ive seen being £26 ( $45.50) at skydive jersey, if you're not a member. this is using current rate of about £1:$1.75

Also what about tandems, Tandems here seem to be now around the £250 ($440) mark, Im sure they were about £200 5 years ago.

i have heard thailand is £20 a jump and the dz in devon was £23 to 10,000ft.

Hinton is now £20 a jump but i dont mind paying that as they have a good aircraft and good staff/owners that make it a good place to be at.

I feel so lucky, we have approx 19 - 21 dollar tickets, and once a month "all we can jump for 129" I dont think I would be able to complain if we had a slight rise after seeing some of the out of USA costs

I was sitting in the UK getting quite angry when all the americans were complaining about the price of petrol (gasoline). Did it go to $2/gallon?

we now pay about 90p/litre, thats about $6/silly US gallon, but then again about 50% of our petrol prices are tax (but no tax on JetA1 )

It has only briefly been below 2 in the last two years in California. Right now it's 2.50 for 87, ~2.70 for 91 octane. Of that, perhaps 60 cents are for taxes.

Jump tickets for most larger dz's in Australia now are in the order of $38.

The petrol for vehicles is a minimum $1.05 a litre here in Queensland where it is one of the better prices in most states of the country.

BSBD! -Mark.

At least we don't have the traffic that some parts of the USA do haha!

Picton is 29/32/37 for 100/10/1, which is significantly cheaper than Toogoolawah at about 39. All AUD.

[DanglesOZQld 0]

Well being one of the biggest in Australia does help lol ;)

Flown over but not had the pleasure to jump there yet ;)

Of the 35 or 40 different countries I've jumped over the years - the most expensive by far was Japan. They were around $60 USD out of a Caravan (and that was on vacation there 7 or 8 years ago so may be even more expensive today). But the aerial views of Mt Fuji were well worth it - almost majestic.

Cheapest was Saudi Arabia - where sport jumping is in infancy stages. Jumps there were free - out of skyvan, C-130's and Kawasaki twin rotor helicopters.

True, but Two Galahs is probably the second-biggest... with three Caravans around.

That said, you only have to look at the buildings to see where Macca has put the money to work!

How's the healing going?

When I was in Korea in 2003, the jump ticket price at the one DZ in the country was 100,000 Won, equivalent to about $80. The club rented the aircraft, and that's how they paid for it.

We pay around R165 in South Africa. At the current exchange rate that works out to 26.8485 USD or 15.3423 GBP

I don't know about the boogies and such, but the only operating DZ in Thailand charges 1200 baht for 10.000ft in a C206. (1100 baht if you buy an annual membership)

1200baht = 31USD = 26EUR = 18GBP

Heya dude!!

Yeah getting there. Nothing like seeing the canopies and the plane most days though - that sucks!

If not for the fact that I have been doing it long enough not to miss it TOO much I would be going mental these days ha ha!!

Back to hospital for xrays and HOPEFULLY return to the skies a few days after the 9th of March. Accident was September 16th. Mmmm ;(

There are a few guys around who have cool dz's. Nagambie is one of them. Nothing like a champ skydiver and a cool (far from whuffo ;) wife owning and running a dz. Was most impressed when I went south after years in Qld for a jump holiday there. They Rock! Makes me miss Melbourne even after living there for nearly 28 yrs lol!
