Craig 0 #1 January 31, 2003 I was thinking of going to the DZO and asking if they would be willing to give a discount if you "pre-pay" for a certain amount of jump tickets. Either buy X amount of tickets and get 1 or 2 dollars off each, or buy X amount of tickets and get X tickets free? I doubt it would be worth it to the DZ if your only willing to get 10 or 20 tickets but if your willing to commit to more than that?? Just wondering if any DZ's offer anything like this? I remember some jumpers on here talking about it along time ago but I think it was just a discussion that went off track and not a dedicated thread. Edit: Also cash payment would likely be important cause of the fees involved with credit cards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #2 January 31, 2003 Perris does, but I can't afford it so don't remember the discount right off the bat. Sorry. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masher 1 #3 January 31, 2003 My DZ doesn't offer discounts (as far as I know). It is a small operation, ands it's probably not an option. However, I did find this: Skydive Express in York (Australia): Jumps $31 to 12,000 or books of ten for $295 Sydney Skydiving Center Jump tickets prices: $35 to 13,500ft - Weekends $35 to 13,500ft - Mon-Fri $30 - In lots of 10 tickets That was on their websites. I had a look at some others in Australia, but couldn't find any other references. That's not to say they don't do it...-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJohnson 0 #4 January 31, 2003 Chicagoland offers packages at 100 jump blocks. Elsinore was offering block as well last year...I think I still got two tickets left from that.... JJJJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #5 January 31, 2003 What type of discount? Like buy 99 get one free? Or like 1 jump is 20 but a block of 100 is only 1800?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samurai136 0 #6 January 31, 2003 SDC end of season special (dec). 100 jumps for $1400 to be used next season. Buying the deal locks you in at that rate for the rest of the next season. I thought it was a good deal. Ken"Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad47 0 #8 January 31, 2003 Skydive Texas was doing $99 weekend boogie all last summer. It was a great deal to log 10-15 jumps from 13.5K feet for $99. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #9 January 31, 2003 San Marco's has an offer for $99 day passes with multiple rigs right now again.

Dumpster 0 #12 January 31, 2003 Sky Knights gives memebers a buck or two off guest prices - King Air jumps were 20 bones each for guests, 18 for members. I think the rates will go up a buck when the Otter comes this spring. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattb 0 #13 January 31, 2003 Before last season I couldn't afford the deal - what a bummer all season I was making $20 jumps and my friends were making $15 jumps (last years prices). This year its $14 jumps for me all year and the first 100 are already paid for! QuoteSDC end of season special (dec). 100 jumps for $1400 to be used next season.

wmw999 2,121 #15 January 31, 2003 Skydive Houston periodically (and maybe currently) has a "make 5 jumps in a day and get the 6th on the same day free" deal. It's a great discount.

Rdutch 0 #16 January 31, 2003 skydive Deland offers this 16 a jump if you buy 50 or 100, but if you buy 50 you only have a short time to do them, and 100 you can take as long as you like. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfc 0 #18 January 31, 2003 1 = $20 10 = $180 100 = $1700 and they don't seem to mind if you share them with other jumpers. Also have a get 8th jump on the same day free, but this is very hard to do because of the van ride back from the LZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #19 January 31, 2003 In addition to $99 day passes even with multiple rigs, Fridays are $14 to 13.5K. Otter is gone but the king air isn't so bad and the T-bo shoulb be up and running by late spring. I hear they will be running both planes at the same time for faster turnarounds.
