larrytbull Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I heard they don't do full day anymore because people transfer passes and resell them to others in the parking lot that's bull cause they are rfid and tied to person. there is no way to tell if valid or not, buyer beware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar73 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 No, the RFID tag is not tagged to a person until that person sets up an online account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrytbull Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 they do that at the checkin, have done that a few times and even if it was not tagged why would anyone buy an rfid ticket that does not clearly mark time limitation, as it could be a scam guess there is a sucker born every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Most people just buy a pass at blue for the day. It can be transferred to anybody so if its good 8-2 it's alot less likely someone is gonna sell it in the lot vs if its good from 8am-10pm. It was talked about by the blue mountain social media coordinator on Facebook. Glad you get 8 hours now buying online. I can be 6 hours being a little short on time for some but 8 hours is fantastic. Can ski all day. Most resorts are only open 9-4 Anyway resale of tickets whether RFID happens plenty. The risk that the ticket is expired is part of the deal but most reselling are honest and there is genuinely time left on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 It's funny how jfbb had season passholders still get a paper ticket. With 5 season passes I went to the window by myself every time and picked up 5 passes. I could have sold them every day at half price and walked with $125 cash. That's probably more than the average person in carbon county makes in a day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well if it's on a card, it'll "feel" like a deal I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Those aren't deals. I hate that place. $250 for a six pack definitely isn't a deal...they won't sell many...at $150 or even better $149 they would sell alot and of course people would still leave plenty of unused days and JF/BB gets alot of extra early season revenue from people who don't ski there enough to make a season pass worth it yes plan on heading there multiple times. Those are the kind of people who are gonna rent gear, buy a $15 lunch and hang at the bar...just my inflation adjusted two cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Didn't they do $25 tickets in the past? I was hoping to pick up a few to supplement the blue pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrytbull Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) been waiting on the 25 dollar deal, and why i started thread. I like JF, BB not so much, but only go with a discount, not made of $$$ I am very disapointed that the DD coupons are'nt out, nor the cbs locl deal. was hoping someone with a club login to the site might share, but I am guessing that the deals on there are not great either. may have to try Cb or shawnee for their 3 for 100 deals or the camel card. not sure which is better.

poconoceancity Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 That's weak. For $200 more u could ski 100 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 That's weak. For $200 more u could ski 100 days. Yup....whoever is in charge of pricing doesn't understand the concept of perceived value. It's so important for any business when pricing their products and services. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to get one or two days up there, but I can't justify paying more than $25 to ski those crappy places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFskiDan Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yup....whoever is in charge of pricing doesn't understand the concept of perceived value. It's so important for any business when pricing their products and services. And the people at Blue have such a firm grip on pricing their products and services? Seems to me they are leading the way.

toast21602 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 BB yes, but Frost crappy? Fine. Only good with snow in the trees though. Otherwise it's like a smaller, uncrowded CB. And the people at Blue have such a firm grip on pricing their products and services? Seems to me they are leading the way. Blue's pricing is ridiculous.
