You offer a total of four free tickets. What if there are more people in my family?

My spouse is serving overseas. Can dependents visit the park without their service member?
Yes, for the Active Duty offer. You need to verify the active duty members military status using Troop ID online. While, spouses & family members of military personnel can create a Troop ID, the complimentary/discounted tickets are only accessible to those accounts verified as a service member. Once verified you can print out up to three direct dependent single day admission tickets.
I am a single parent serving overseas. My children are living with a relative. How can my kids visit?
For the Active Duty offer, the primary caregiver should contact the Guest Relations Department of the park they'd like to visit. They will make accommodations for minor dependents. Proof of military status and deployment is required.
I am a service member from an Allied country, does this program apply to me?
No. The Waves of Honor Program only applies to U.S. military members.
I received my tickets via email but accidentally deleted the original email. How do I get my tickets again?
Completed orders can be viewed within the SeaWorld account you created during the checkout process (if you created one). This SeaWorld account is separate from your ID.me account, however you may have used the same email address and password. If you did not create a SeaWorld account, then you will need to contact SeaWorld customer service and provide the email address entered to receive your tickets and they will be re-sent.
