When you get seasonal passes for Bush Gardens, do they scan your fingerprint?

Question

My friend wants me to come with her to Bush Gardens this weekend using her sister's seasonal pass that they're getting tomorrow, but I'm not sure if they scan your fingerprint or not. If they do, I won't be able to go using her sister's pass, so I just need to know. Help please?

Thanks,

~~Ali. :)

Answer 1

I just went there today actually and I don't have a seasonal pass but they scan your finger print just to make sure it is you every time you visit. There is no problem or anything so have fun in Busch Gardens, I know I did.

Answer 2

if u have a resemblence to her sister then u should be fine im pretty sure they put a photo on the pass so no guys walk in and try to use it.

Answer 3

No. They never did that when I was there.

Don't worry, just have a great time!

BGE does scan fingerprints. I don't know if you're talking about VA or FL. I don't know about the one in FL but I assume they do as well.

That's the idea of print scanning...to keep people from using another person's pass. The passes are also printed with the owner's name and ID may be checked. BGE passes do NOT have photos on them...so the scanning is a must to prevent ticket fraud. If you are caught, the pass will be voided and that will be that. Why risk it? If you are asked for ID and do not have it, you may be denied entry.

Just get your own pass. If you are going to BGE (Williamsburg), you can pay for one day and go back until the middle of September as many times as you want. That's not a bad deal.

You didnt say if its tampa or Va. I know in Va they do. In fact there was a glitch somewhere and all last year my fingerprint didnt match up so I had to show ID every single time I entered the park. Not worth the risk IMO, cause if they catch you, the owner will lose her pass with no refund, and she will prob kick yur azz-lol
