Single-entry tickets are only part of the story. Combo tickets raise spend per visitor, and annual passes turn visitors into regulars.
Combo tickets
| Combo | Example |
|---|---|
| Multi-experience | Attraction + add-on experience |
| Partner bundle | Two attractions from different operators |
| Experience + dining | Entry + meal voucher |
| Experience + transport | Entry + shuttle or boat ride |
Pricing tip: a discount of 10–25% against buying separately usually feels worthwhile without giving away too much margin.
Partner combos need clear revenue-sharing rules and redemption tracking at each partner.
Annual passes
- Tiers: standard, premium (fast track, discounts), family
- Resident pricing to attract locals
- Photo or face ID to stop pass sharing
- Benefits: discounts on F&B, guest tickets, member events
Entry rules
- Passes should still respect daily capacity, so holders book a slot at peak times
- Blackout dates for the busiest days, if needed
- Fast entry for pass holders by QR scan or face recognition
What to measure
Combo uptake, revenue per visitor, pass renewals, visits per pass holder and pass-holder spending on F&B and retail.
