COVID-19 Pandemic & This Website
The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a huge impact on local Gold Coast businesses, which rely heavily on visitors from Queensland, interstate and overseas.
During this time, it is hard to keep the website fully up to date with all the changes. In the meantime here are some resources for visitors. Our main booking partners for hotels and for tours, tickets, theme parks and activities are keeping everything up to date, so please use those resources in the meantime.
Travel Information for Queensland Visitors - Queensland Tourist Safety Information - regularly updated, official website.
COVID-19 FAQ's For Activities, Tours, Cruises & Theme Park Tickets - General Ticket & Pass FAQs and COVID-19 Travel Update.
Thank you for your understanding and patience at this really difficult time.

Buy 3 Get 1 Free Deal for VIP Pass

Buy 3 Get 1 Free Deal for VIP Pass for Sea World, Movie World and Wet n Wild Unlimited Entry
Hi, I just saw a deal for the Unlimited entry to 30 June VIP Pass which was buy 3 get one free but I saw in the fine print you have to live in certain postcodes. Can I get this deal?
Annie's Answer
Important Update
VIP Passes are a promotional pass, with deals that come and go. Some years they sell them for the whole year, others they just have them for a short time.
Therefore, terms and conditions change from time to time, so please check Latest Deals at Gold Coast Theme Parks for up to date theme park ticket and pass deals.
Also, note, that VIP Passes are not always the best option for visitors. There are often better value options available to tourists. I recommend checking out the link above to my regularly updated Theme Park Passes Explained page, which will also contain details of any locals only passes or deals including any requirements.
If you need help working out what you plan to do, or creating your own itinerary, then the Planning Sheets & Resources would be a great place to start.
Continue on for my original answer to this question about the now expired 2012 VIP Pass...
AH... these VIP Value Pack deals do confuse people. The deal you are referring for the so called 2012 VIP Pass (expiry 30 June 2012) to was for Queensland and Northern NSW residents in certain postcodes (2450 – 2490) ONLY.
I am assuming that given your location is Melbourne, then you do not live in Queensland or the postcodes of NSW that this deal covers.
This was basically a "special" offer to buy 4 VIP Passes for the price of 3 for locals, which is a great saving, especially for a family or group in multiples of 4! It is only available directly with MyFun either on their website or by telephone. They refer to it as a VIP Value Pack - it might be better if they called a Locals VIP Value Pack, to avoid the confusion!
If you read the fine print further, you will find that there are some extra fees and charges and if you go to the entrance gate you will pay $10 more per VIP pass than purchasing online.
Deals come and go and this one is a good one for locals, but no good for interstate or overseas visitors.
Interstate and overseas visitors can still buy VIP passes, but you may find a better value deal for tickets, passes or combinations - which are a great way to save money or add in additional attractions or activities for a fraction of the cost.
Over at theme park passes explained page, you will find reviews of current tickets, passes and combos as well as suggestions to help you work out which might suit you best.
You were wise to read the fine print and question it. The ticketing group I recommend for VIP Passes often have exclusive combination tickets and do not charge a booking fee nor a charge for buying tickets using your credit card. That's why I like to use them, and remember it is cheaper to buy your theme park pass online rather than buying at the gate on the day
