2008 Media Admissions Policy

The news media admissions policy for Sesame Place enables working media to become familiar with the park's many feature opportunities and, at the same time, enjoy a day with family or friends. We are pleased to extend the following courtesies to news media representatives:

Maximum of one (1) complimentary ticket and four (4) half price tickets to be used for one visit to Sesame Place. One complimentary and discount ticket offer per qualifying media personnel during 2008 season. Meals and hotel stays are not included.

Arrangements are made through the park's Public Relations department. Please fax a request on company letterhead with the exact date of your visit and number of tickets requested to (215) 741-5315.

For holidays observed on Mondays (i.e., Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc.), requests received by noon the previous Friday are appreciated. The PR department is closed on these holidays and on the weekends.
