Here are four new spots we've found to get Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount tickets (note: since these deals are for single-day tickets, they're generally not available until March or April):
1) Richmond's Landmark Theater sells cheap Busch Gardens tickets for adults for $42 (that's $13 off the regular price!). (They offer them through the Richmond's Parks & Rec Department.)
The box office is located at 6 N. Laurel Street in Richmond. Hours are M-F, 10 am to 5:30 pm. For more information, call (804) 646-4213 or (804) 646-4214. (They also offer discounts to Colonial Williamsburg and Kings Dominion.)
2) Travelodge King William - this Williamsburg motel offers its customers $6 off coupons for Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Colonial Williamsburg!

3) The "One Stop Shop" at the Williamsburg Outlet Mall offers Busch Gardens Europe coupons good for $5 off if you buy the tickets there. You don't have to purchase anything else in the store (although you may want to, since they offer low prices on phone cards, snacks, candy, gifts, etc., as well as discount coupons to President's Park and other area attractions).
4) Grocery chain Farm Fresh usually offers Busch Gardens Europe coupons good for $6 off a regular child admission (although they sometimes don't start offering the coupons until the beginning of June). The coupons are printed on grocery bags and are good for up to six admissions. Coupons must be redeemed in person at the Busch Gardens admission window. They are good until the park closes the end of October.
Get a Summer Reading Program Discount!
Have your child show his or her library card at the ticket gate, and you can receive a 30% discount on up to 6 adult and/or child tickets!
You don't have to be a VA resident to take advantage of this Busch Gardens Williamsburg promotion, but your child does have to be under 18 (and the accompanying adult has to pay for the tickets).
Here is the Busch Gardens Williamsmburg phone number - 1-800-343-7946. Call and talk to an operator if you have questions.
Wow! It's a Super Secret Code!

Other Spots for Discount Ticket Deals

| Do you dare ride Griffon? |
Wendy's, Subway, KFC, and McDonald's have all offered Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount ticket coupons in the past.
Some area grocery stores have coupons good for reduced BG admission on the backs of their store receipts...or on plastic shopping bags.
McDonald's and the grocery chain store Food Lion often offer Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount ticket coupons that can save you from $7 to $24 per ticket.
If you see 'em, snap 'em up: they're usually only good until early June.
Each Busch Gardens Europe coupon offers two deals and is good for up to 6 Busch Gardens discount admissions:
1) Buy an adult ticket at the kid's price (save $7)
2) Get a kid's ticket at half price ($24 instead of $47.95).
Soda Cans
Especially Pepsi, since BGW is owned by them. Again, these will probably only be offered within 100 or so miles of the park.
One such Busch Gardens Williamsburg promotion deal last year was for $6 off the regular admission price if you brought in a Pepsi can (specially marked or not). It was called the Pepsi Summer Nights Concert Promotion, and was good July 24th - October 29th last year. They'll probably offer something similar for 2008.

Try AAA
AAA always offers its AAA members discounts on tickets. They may be as much as 10% per ticket. Call your local office to find out what the exact 2008 discount will be.
But WATCH OUT-- to get the discount you have to order your tickets through AAA ahead of time. Planning to just show up at Busch Gardens and flash your AAA card to get your Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount tickets? You'll get nada...
The Busch Gardens Williamsburg Website
Sometimes they have special "online only" ticket offers. Plus, if you buy your tickets online, you can print the tickets at home and skip the ticket lines at the park. Here is the Busch Gardens Williamsburg website - www.buschgardens.com.

Parks and Recreation Departments
(Especially those of cities within 100 or so miles of the park) They sometimes have Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount ticket coupons available.
Last summer, I saw an online post that someone had gotten single day tickets for $14 off by buying them at the Prince George Parks & Recreation Department.
However, when I checked in January, they only had season pass discounts. My guess is they'll offer the single day discounts starting in March.
Still, their VA resident Fun Card discount was the best we've found...click here to find out how to get Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount tickets if you're planning to get a season pass...
WAVA gas stations
I haven't seen them myself, but I hear that these gas stations sometimes offer coupons good for $10 off weekdays and $5 off on weekends.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg Hotel Deals

| The "Little Balloons" ride in Italy. |
Williamsburg hotel package deals can provide significant ticket discounts. But don't be caught! Click here to find out what we mean...
I've been told that area hotels sometimes have pamphlets with Busch Gardens Williamsburg discount ticket coupons. But I'm a bit skeptical, since the tourist guides (like the "Colonial Guide") don't generally contain Busch Gardens Williamsburg coupons. Still, you might ask at your hotel. I can confirm that the Travelodge Williams (in Williamsburg) offers $5 off coupons.

Keep This Tip in Mind Before Using These Offers...
Remember,one drawback to using most discount coupons is that you'll have to wait in line at the park's ticket office to use them. And the lines can get pretty long in the summer! If your time is limited, and you're dying to hop on as many of the top rides as possible, it may be worth paying the extra money to get an online ticket...and bypass the lines!
*Note-- Busch Gardens Williamsburg is really calling itself "Busch Gardens Europe" these days, to play up the European theme of the park. But until that name becomes better known, we'll still refer to it the old way.
