Popular half-price ticket booklet gives admission to
the most popular museums and attractions in eight U.S. cities
December 1, 2003-Napa, California - Have someone on
your gift list each season that's hard to fit or just plain hard to please?
CityPass, the visitor program offering the best attractions in America's
most popular destinations is like giving a key to the city. CityPass
combines the most popular attractions and museums in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, Hollywood, San Francisco and Southern
California in a ticket booklet, allowing visitors to bypass most main
entrance ticket lines. Available online at a substantial discount off box
office prices, CityPass makes giving an entire vacation for to a fascinating
city simple and affordable. Bundle up Boston for just $34.00, slip San
Francisco into someone's stocking for $36.00 or buy the Big Apple for
$45.00.
ityPass includes admission to each city's best venues
-- icon museums and attractions such as the Empire State Building and
Guggenheim Museum in New York, The Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium in
Chicago, the Space Needle and Museum of Flight in Seattle, Museum of Modern
Art and unlimited cable car rides in San Francisco, the John F. Kennedy
Library and Harvard's Museum of Natural History in Boston, Franklin
Institute Science Museum and the National Constitution Center in
Philadelphia, and Universal Studios in Hollywood. In the Southern
California CityPass, both Anaheim and San Diego's number one attractions are
included - Disneyland, Disney's California Adventure, Knott's Berry Farm and
both the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld.
Unlike discount programs, the CityPass booklet contains
an actual ticket to the city's most popular attractions. Tickets include
loads of helpful information-hours of operation, which public transportation
lines stop outside the museums, and tips on the best time to visit to avoid
school tours and popular days. Ticket booklets fit easily in a stocking or
holiday card, may be purchased in advance and are valid for nine days from
first date of use in most cities. An online gift option offers personalized
gift messages, which arrive on a printed gift card along with the tickets.
Buyers may also choose their shipping options-CityPass offers FedEx delivery
for last minute shoppers.
For Winter 2003/4, three CityPass programs will be valid all winter -
expanding the valid days from nine to 90 - in New York, Boston and Seattle.
Prices and attractions remain the same, but users have
all winter to use the entire ticket booklet, making these ticket booklets
perfect for local gift giving in those cities.
Best of all is the price - CityPass is sold at about 50% off main box office
prices and offers rates for adults and youths, making CityPass as easy to
give as it is to use. Adult rates are New York: $45.00, Boston: $34.00,
Philadelphia: $36.00, Chicago: $49.00, Seattle: $42.00, San Francisco:
$36.00, Hollywood, 69.00 and Southern California, $166.00. Tickets may be
purchased on line at
www.citypass.com or at any participating attraction. (If purchasing as a
gift to save for incoming visitors, simply request the box office not to
stamp the valid date section.) For recorded information, call 707-256-0490.
