While it works out to an extremely good value, raising the price would be a case of diminishing returns, or probably outright significant drops in attendance. Most regulars aren't going to spend too much more than what they're spending now. The ultimate pass was a good way to squeeze a little more out. I would guess that most FFP's are actually being used 2-3 days. With the main reason being those who visit from out of town and want to do more than one night. As an example I had family visit from out of town this year. They initially were looking at just one maybe two days. After looking at the FFP and realizing for a pretty good price they could make a weekend of it and do Thur, Fri and Sun that's what they decided to do. So a one night event turned into a four day stay with also visits to the parks during the day. I think this is what they really want FFP to do.Most FFPholders I know go for at least a dozen nights on their $100ish ticket. Many go for 20 or more. I don't think the average Passholder visits the parks 20 times in a year with a $450ish AP. It's not a case of me hating the FFP--I've bought one every year since 2005--it's me being realistic that it is insanely underpriced. FFP should be at least triple its price.
