Hersheypark Tickets: No Gate Sales, Buy Online Only

No, you cannot buy tickets at the gate. Hersheypark (Hershey, PA) requires all tickets to be purchased in advance online (official website or app) or through authorized resellers (AAA, Costco, select employers, hotel packages).

Why the Policy?

• Reduce entry bottlenecks — no cash lines, faster scanning.
• Dynamic pricing — date-based tiers (Value, Regular, Peak) manage crowds.
• Contactless entry — mobile tickets/QR codes.
• Guaranteed entry — on capacity-limited days, online buyers have priority.

What to Do

1. Visit hersheypark.com → "Tickets & Passes."
2. Select date → ticket type (1-Day, 2-Day, Season Pass).
3. Purchase → receive mobile ticket (add to Apple/Google Wallet).
4. Scan at turnstile; no ticket booth stop needed.

Same-day online purchase is allowed (if not sold out), but no walk-up window exists. Plan ahead.
