Strange pricing
Just thought I would share a recent experience.
My wife (non-senior) and I (senior) recently visited SteamTown at Peterborough (South Australia) and both very much enjoyed the day tour and the sound and light show.
There were 2 separate options available
Guided day tour $27
Guided day tour seniors $22 ($5 discount)
Sound and light show $30 for all – no discount for seniors for this.
Bundle (both of above options) $50 for all
I found the bundle pricing somewhat illogical.
It was explained to us how the $50 bundle price was arrived at and non-seniors get a $7 discount ($27+ $30) and seniors get a $2 discount ($22+$30) which we understood but still think it is illogical.
Thinking about it from the point of view of the extra cost of upgrading from the day tour to a bundle it means that the non-senior pays an additional $23.
However the senior gets charged a further $28 which is $5 more than the non-senior for the same thing!
This effectively means that the senior gets given a $5 discount for the day tour only for it to be taken back if a bundle is purchased.
The usual practise is that seniors get a discount!
I emailed them suggesting that they should take a look at the bundle pricing.
