Hi Carla.  I don't know why this message bounced back, but here it is again...

 

We've made our consignment ticket program low maintenance by offering it as a code that your constituencies can use online to reserve, pay for, and print their tickets themselves (i.e. you don't have to collect money, return unused tickets, etc.).  All you do is disseminate the information.

Here's how it works: They go the www.edaville.com and enter a code at checkout (say "BAMSI" or "pin" -- it is not case senstitive) to enjoy $4 off each $18 admission.  They can print their tickets at home, or come to the front gate with their confirmation number and have us print them.  That's it.

The discount is good for all events except Day Out With Thomas and The Polar Express (licensed events we're not allowed to discount), but it can't be used for Saturday nights in December during our Christmas Festival of Lights.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  And thanks for your interest.

Water Country

I always have the consignment tickets on hand. But to get the better pricing it’s pre-pay and I need to order in lots of 25 or more.

 

I have a few workers and foster parents that would like them.  If you want to get in on this order, let me know! Its an extra $2 savings.

I need the money before I order and as soon as I get all orders and money I will order them!

Thanks!
