Great America discount tickets at the Santa Clara Chamber of CommerceThe city of Santa Clara wants you to visit California's Great America in 2011...and they're willing to help you out! You can get some of the very best prices available from the city who stands to gain from your hotel stay, meal purchases, and visits to other attractions in the area!You can get CA Great America discount tickets from the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce. If you're looking for an ultra-discount ticket, the Santa Clara COC's price is going to be hard to beat: it's only $33 for a one-day ticket to California's Great America. The catch? You have to go to the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce in person to buy them; these super discount tickets are not available online. However, if you're one of the people who chases all over town to buy coupons from Craig's List anyway, then this is just the deal for YOU. Why would you risk finding a stranger's house when you could head to the Chamber of Commerce without fears of bad neighborhoods or getting lost, instead? And, you'll feel absolutely secure in knowing that the ticket you've just purchased WILL be accepted at the theme park's gates without any problems! If you're visiting from out of town, you'll especially want to pay attention to the Santa Clara COC's special deals on hotel and ticket combos. You'll be able to get both lodging and theme park admission cheaper than purchasing both items separately. Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce hours & address: The Chamber Store is located at 1850 Warburton Avenue, Santa Clara, CA 95095. This location is only four miles away from CA Great America. If you're visiting the theme park on a weekday, it would be very convenient to stop in before heading to the park. (The Chamber Store hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday. They accept VISA, MC, cash, and checks. You may call phone number 800-272-6800 for questions about these discount tickets.) The problem, of course, is that they're not open on weekends, so you'd have to make a special trip to get your tickets another day if you're going to the park on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday. Here's a Google map to the Santa Clara COC store. And, here's the Santa Clara COC's discount ticket page, so that you may double-check this offer for yourself.

To keep them from doing that, they're willing to give you a very good discount simply for planning ahead & NOT changing your mind! 3.) Multi-visit discount: Still another wonderful discount is the two-visit ticket. You may visit any two regular operating days during the 2011 season for $59.99...which works out to only $30 per visit. 4.) Last-minute one-day discount ticket: Even if you don't decide until the very last second that you'll be going to California's Great Adventure, you'll still get a substantial print-at-home discount. You can get admission tickets for $45.99 on the park's website...even if you print them out just as you're heading out the door!

Twitter and Facebook contests: While California's Great America isn't as active as some other theme parks on Twitter and Facebook, they do have accounts at both social media sites and make updates regularly. Several contests for discounts and freebies were held in 2010; and, most probably, there will be new contests coming up in 2011! The park's Twitter page may be found at http://twitter.com/CAGreatAmerica and their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/cagreatamerica. California's Great America also has a blog page which may, at some point, have news about discounts. 3.) Corporate discounts: Have you checked to see if you can get CA Great America's discount tickets or coupons through your employer or professional organization?

In addition to the discount ticket program for individual tickets, the corporate sales department can also arrange for employee group days, catering, and team building events. Here's the park's corporate discounts and programs section, where you'll discover all the different plans available. 4.) Birthday Party discount: Does CA Great America have facilities for holding birthday parties? Yes---and birthday parties for 12 or more people get a terrific discount price, as well. You can hold your child's next birthday party at California's Great America...and the price you'll pay per guest (WITH a simple meal and birthday cupcakes included) will be far less than the price of admission tickets alone! Also, you'll get to spend 1 hour in the park's birthday party area, get a gift for the birthday girl or boy, have all of your paper goods included (plates, napkins, decorations) AND not have to mess with cleanup! To check current prices and meal options, here's a link to the CA Great America Birthday Party info from the theme park's official website.
