JeffCa 0 #2 December 4, 2014 Tokyo Skydiving Club has drastically lowered their ticket prices over the last few years. 20% for single jumps, and over 50% if you buy in bulk. My understanding is it has to do with the ownership of the plane being transferred to the club, or something like that.

LyraM45 0 #3 December 4, 2014 Skydance did it about two years ago for a bit in June when fuel prices had taken a temporary dip. I think $24 jump tickets were going for $18 cash price. Good forever like a regular jump ticket. I think me and my better half threw down for about 150. Tickets did go back up to regular price shortly after that and have been that way since. Airlines aren't dropping their prices with the fuel fluctuation either, but that is a much more complex scenario with fuel being pre purchased at bulk/hedging prices and all that jazz. You would think a smaller jump operation would be able to go up and down with the market more, but I am sure it's much more complex than it seems still.Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantunderland 0 #4 December 4, 2014 Skydive City just lowered theirs to $23 each if you buy 10 or more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #5 December 4, 2014 Ours went from $23 to $25 about a year and a half ago. Don't think they'll ever come back down, but $25 for a Super Otter that sits up here in the PNW rain, just waiting for a sunny day? That's not too bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrumpot 1 #6 December 4, 2014 Unfortunately, also - for whatever reason - Aviation fuels at the end-point "consumer" cost / purchase level, just don't "react" (downwardly anyway - they sure do go UP though, every bit as fast!!) - as linearly, or rapidly as other types of "consumer" level fuel supplies.

YvonneWiggers 0 #7 December 5, 2014 Skydive Teuge in the Netherlands just announced that jumpprices will go down to 20 euros per 2015. It used to be 25 for members and 26 for visitors so that's a very pleasant change. "So I jump out, look up, and think 'Oh SHIT!... It's PINK!!!'" - army guy after his first staticline jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
