- Qualifying media may request up to four (4) single-day tickets once per calendar year. This courtesy is for park admission only.
- Requests must be received during normal business hours at least 72 hours prior to the intended visit date.
Complimentary admission is available to media in the following categories:
Print/Online - Editors, Reporters, Photojournalists, Publishers, Managing/Assignment Editors and Freelance Writers.
Broadcast/Radio - News Producers, News Directors/Assistant Directors, Reporters, Managing/Assignment/Planning Editors, News Writers, Online/Web Producers, Photojournalists and Meteorologists.
Social Media – Bloggers are considered on a case-by-case basis if the blogger has a significant social media following and meets other criteria.
We are unable to provide admission to those not employed in a news-gathering role, such as sales, promotions, programming, clerical/administrative, graphic arts, engineering or public relations/communications staff.
Due to the popularity of certain events and time frames, SeaWorld San Diego reserves the right to have block out dates for media passes.
