Pensioner Consessions For Theme Park Tickets

Pensioner Consessions For Theme Park Tickets and Attractions

Do pensioners get a discount for Gold Coast theme park and other attraction entry?


UPDATE 2024
Pensioner and concession rates at the theme parks have been a moving target over the last little while. You will need to check with the deals you are looking for.

Sometimes you see one price for everyone 3 and over years - with no concession prices shown at all.

Sometimes you can see a child rate and concession rate quoted. If you see those, then scroll to the bottom of the page to check the details to check if you are eligible.

I hope this helps - here's the best page to check out all the Gold Coast Theme Park deals and offers.

General Answer
In general, Australian and NZ pensioners (definition of a pensioner does vary from attraction to attraction) can receive a concessional ticket to enter Gold Coast theme parks and attractions.

The theme parks usually restrict it to Australia and New Zealand pensioners, but I notice that some of the other attractions recognise overseas pensioners and concessions.

It appears that one of the main requirements is that you hold a valid Seniors or Government Pension Card or you are over 65 years of age and can prove it.

Here's an example of the requirements on the MovieWorld Help Desk.

Make sure you know what is required, especially if you buy your tickets online, because you will need to show proof when you go to the gate to gain entry.

Hope that was helpful, please leave any further questions or comments below. If you found this helpful, you can Like it, Tweet it and share on Facebook ;-) Thanks for spreading the word...

Disappointed pensioner
by: Anonymous

It’s a pretty poor show not offering discounts for pensioners, most of which only accompany their younger families not going on rides or hardly any rides but spending money in the shops and cafes, it really spoiled our trip with the family to Queensland.

Annie's Reply
I agree - and there used to be concessions for pensioners. This is something to bring to the attention of the individual theme parks. Unfortunately, it's not something I can influence. However, if everyone wrote or emailed them perhaps they might make some changes.

Pensioner and Carer Costs
by: Annie

Each of the theme parks have different policies for pensioner and carer status. You are going to have to check directly with the theme parks to see if he qualifies as a pensioner under their policy (as not AU resident) and if you qualify as a carer under their policy. I am not sure of these details, it's best to check directly with them. Hope that helps, Annie

Concession Cards
by: Annie

It depends on the type of concession card... if a carers or companion card there are special options but you need to contact the theme parks directly I don't believe that there are concession options for any of the theme park passes, just the individual tickets. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers Annie
