So, I had my husband call the base and price the 8 day base tickets price and it is $424.00.
I went to Shades of Green's website and to the pdf of prices. The price of a 8 day base ticket on their site is $417.
Than I proceeded to email SOG and asked if their prices were up to date and if we could order them now. I thought I had read that you could only order them from SOG 6 months out. I also let them know when we were going and the length of the ticket we were looking at.
I received an email back pretty quickly letting me know that their prices were up to date, the price to mail them to us is $10 (fedex), non refundable if lost, and recommended me not purchase them this early.
So I wrote this back to them:
Besides the tickets having an expiration date (I am assuming these will be 12/31/19) and the likelihood the longer you have them at home the more chances you could lose them, is there any other reason not to order them early? I just wanted to make sure.
My understanding with Disney Tickets is if you should not be able to go, you will need to pay the difference in the price increase for when you do go.
This was their reply:
The Salute tickets expire December 19, 2019 not on December 31st. Other than those reasons no, its up to you. If you are wanting to do the pay difference that would be done through Disney we would not be able to do it here. You would be paying tax and what ever it is they are charging for tickets at that time.
So my question is, do the base military tickets not have an expiration date? Because I never asked about the salute tickets, we need longer dated tickets this time.
I was planning on buying maybe just 3 right now and our other 3 the closer we get. The prices are good so I wanted to lock into prices before they go up. The prices at SOG are about $7/ticket cheaper although fedexing will take up some of that savings. Although, I do believe we had to pay to have our tickets fedex when we bought at the base last time. That might not be much of a difference.
Any recommendations or thoughts on this?
Thank you!
