I didn’t think they were owned by the same company anymore?

Um it is the same price… not sure what the problem is Crackers!


The problem is now I seem to be in some sort of ‘race’ to get the pass, I have to do it by some vague day. They should just tell me a date that I need to have paid for by and I’ll get it done. Not just announce that passes are suddenly for sale and that I need to have bought them by the time a lift goes past a pole in a picture. Doesn’t sound like I am guaranteed the same price and the same deal.

Crackers I’m of the same opinion and sent them an email asking about it.  Basically I was under the impression that because I bought one last year I was locked in for the same price this year as long as I paid the deposit by the end of September and didn’t have to worry about the chairlift and towers bullshit.  Will let you know the outcome.

Perisher have a serious chance to screw things up, or get a massive win for themselves, here. Fingers crossed they know what is really good for them!

There are not.

But plenty of businesses work together. NMRA / RACV / RACQ for example.

If enough people show interest, they will seriously consider it again.

This is the response, basically eat shit like everyone else.  I’m damn sure I wasn’t imagining things but according to them I was.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your email, your 2013 freedom pass is available to you at the same price and now is the time to buy. At no point did we advertise the end of September. You can renew your pass by going online or call us on 1300655811. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

Regards
Kate

I never saw September Nthn!

The just said it would be the same price and it is.

I wouldn’t stress about the “race”. I suspect they will allow people to buy it after Oct 1st (ie Thredbo advertised closing date).

Let me explain, my original thought was that if you bought the freedom pass last year you automatically qualified for the same price next year regardless of what happened.  I assumed the only stipulation for that would be that you paid the deposit by the end of September.  What they are saying now is that even if you bought one last year you still need to get in quick or you may miss out, there is no protection for having bought one last year at all.  I’m annoyed that if I hadn’t been a wake up to it I might have tootled along thinking I was entitled to renew my pass for the same price and then discovered that too bad you missed out.

I am not sure what one has to do with the other?

If you are only saying you wont have “time” (money is a whole other story!)

There will be heaps of people going down next year (again!) You prob wont even have to drive!

I have asked if anyone wants to come with this weekend. Do you want to?

Has anyone actually seen this page? http://www.perisher.com.au/tickets-passes-accommodation/season-passes/freedom-pass.html

I am not understanding the benefits/and or reduction of benefits between buying now and say between towers 3 & 4.
