Originally Posted By Darkbeer Knott's Halloween Haunt is being held from September 28th thru October 31st. The Day of Price is $49 per person (no child discount, as the event is not recommended for children). You can save $5 by going to the park in advance, and buying them in advance (no coupon needed). But the BEST deals are with a coupon from a Southern California Burger King. Knott's offers different levels of discounts based on how busy they think the park will be, the busier they think, the more you will pay. The Best price is $28 on September 28th - October 1st, 4th, 8th, 11th and 30th. $30 on September 29th, 30th - October 5th and 18th $34 on October 6th, 12th, 15th, 19th, 22nd, 26th, 29th and 31st. $39 on October 7th, 13th, 14th 20th and 27th. With the Burger King Coupon, you can use it on the Day of the event, but sales stop when the event is sold out. The best deal you can get on the two most popular nights, October 21st and 28th is the $5 off by buying it in advance. You can also buy tickets at a discount thru Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com/knotts With the special promotional code "BKING", you will get the same prices mentioned above, but you will pay over $5 extra a ticket in a surcharge, and if there is enough time, you can have them mailed to you for free, or pay $2.50 to use the Print at Home option. So go grab a coupon at Burger King..... And if anyone can't get a coupon, let me know, as I have a few extras...

I may need one of your coupons, DB, if they don't have them in my neck of the woods!

I'm assuming it will be a sold out night. How far ahead do I need to purchase or will the night before/morning of be soon enough?
Originally Posted By Darkbeer ^The night before should be good, by doing it the night before saves you $5 per ticket as compared to the morning of the event. Plus it will save you time, as most folks will buy the day of the event, so you can bypass the folks trying to buy tickets....

Last year we ate at Auntie Pasta's and then herded up for the early opening. We'll probably do it the same this year but I'm wondering where the picnic areas are located. I can't seem to find a map that includes them. Also, do you get to "line up"for early entrance with those 2 or is preferance given for the Auntie Pasta group? We appreciated all the tips last year especially the one about heading straight for the themed rides We got everything done and were even able to stop for ice cream in the Market Place on the way out
Originally Posted By SuzieQ Oooo! I'd be interested in that information, too. I'm thinking we'll do one of the pre-scare dinners so we don't have to go through the gates with the masses. I'm going to have 5 teenage boys with me. That's going to be challenge enough as it is, LOL! (especially since I'll be responsible for all of them for 3 days, including sharing a hotel room.)

Originally Posted By LuLu For $3 more, you get more than twice as many food options at Auntie's, and the food is much better too... we only did the picnic area once, AP's is such a better deal! And you're already inside the park, thru security and all! Have a great time SuzieQ and amazed!!
Originally Posted By boyumz We've done both dinners and the VIP one is better. And after you're done eating, you can go on Ghostrider. We'll be there on the 4th, anybody else going that night??

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 oc_dean, we also wanted to go on the 24th and it seemed to be the only Wednesday that it wasn't offered. We went with the 25th. We did end up making reservations at AP's. I showed DH Darkbeer's map and we discussed it and then he said "what if the weather is bad?"...........so end of discussion, it was Auntie Pasta's, same as last year I didn't think about already being in the park and through security, good points
Originally Posted By oc_dean I didn't realize this until I went here... https://tickets.cedarfair.com/cedarfair/haunt.jsp ... that the Haunt is not on Mondays and Tuesdays .. and the Wednesday before Halloween.
