Got mine too, that was really quick.

Me too, was quite surprised. They even put a barcode and a number on the cards this year. The one from a 2 years ago looked like something you could copy in 5 minutes. I didn't get one last year, so not sure how it was last year.

That link works. It's the link you click on to actually purchase the tickets that does not work.

For the ridiculous cost of shipping it should be a quick turnaround

I don't understand that shipping cost. I guess instead of calling it a transaction fee or something like that they just made it shipping.

LOL. Seriously. We should have gotten it hand delivered by a singing telegram.

BS fee to boost profit.

I don't know anything about the relationships or how that program works financially, but if the only difference in price this year as people seem to be intimating is the shipping, I cant imagine the mountains being happy with that.

If they want to make more money, just increase the cost of the card... No one is stupid enough to believe there is that much cost associated with putting cards in an envelope and dropping them in the mail.

12 something

 

[VTKilarney]

Holy cow! They also avoid sales tax on the shipping, don't they?

Did they use a 3rd-party shipping service last year as well? Maybe that's the delta.

In their defense, they did put a tiny piece of Styrofoam in there. What the hell was that supposed to do?

It lowers the shipping rate. Ancient USPS secret.

I think that was the densest Styrofoam I've ever seen.

Really? At 12 something dollars a day you think anyone is making money on this? Just be grateful...

You get 12 tickets for $147. so around 12.25 if you use them all. I plan on using 6 so still only 24.50 per. not bad at all.

I look at the fee on the card like I look at fees for concert tickets,......part of what you have to pay to play

 

[MadMadWorld]

I just get annoyed when companies claim cheaper prices and tack on fees afterwards. Buying flowers online is even worse than concert tickets.

If anybody is interested in the Geigerrig passport theclymb.com has one of the packs on sale for $94.98, (note:less than 4 left)...

That's one of the more expensive Geigerrig, so if you you're just looking for the passport you might be better off waiting for a cheaper model. Passport details are here...
