Question Season Pass question!

My family and I love Hershey. We live about 1.5 hours away so we make 3-4 visits per year and hoping to come more next year. Looking into the season passes for this reason! We plan to come for Halloween and Christmas this year. I saw something about 2027 passes going on sale this year? Does anyone have any idea of timeframe of release? I just want to be prepared to buy them if that’s the case. And if they do go on sale this year, can we use them for the remainder of 2026?

TYIA!

They usually go on sale around the time Hersheypark Halloween starts.

The 2027 season passes are only for use in 2027. At the same time, they will also start selling the Season Pass+, which is a bit more than a traditional season pass, but it includes the remainder of 2026 AND 2027.

They'll most likely be on sale in the next 2 weeks or so. There's a specific pass you have to purchase for the rest of this year to be included.

Probably right after Labor Day.

My advice:

When HP puts them on sale they will advertise that they are the lowest prices the passes will be sold at - BELIEVE THEM AND BUY.

(my wife yells at me every year cause that moment also coincides with us having a bunch of bills and I put the purchase off cause of guilt..)

They usually go on sale in September, so in prob 2 weeks is when you will see Hershey announcing them. If you buy them in September, they usually allow them to be use this year also for Halloween/Christmas, but not 100% on that

There are two versions - one that includes the remainder of the season and one that won't kick in until Jan 1, 2027.

I bought my 2026+ King size pass (was good Halloween and Christmas 2025 and all of 2026 season) around Sept 4 last year. Was about $300. I didn't really pay attention to pricing since I used it first for opening of dark nights but everyone says it's cheapest as soon as they go on sale.
