the The Polar Express Train at the California State Railroad Museum were unable to get tickets. This article unveils the secret to making sure you have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the 2010 Polar Express Train, before these tickets are even available to the general public.During the Christmas season, the California State Railroad Museum offers a magical ride on the Polar Express Train. This event is patterned after the classic childrensstory, The Polar Express, by Chris Van Allsburg.
This past year, tickets for this special holiday event went on sale October 1st. By the end of the day, all 15,000 tickets were sold out. Here's the secret to making sure you and your family secure a ticket for next year.
Museum members are afforded the priviledge of purchasing Polar Express tickets before they are offered for sale to the general public. Museum members purchased a staggering 9,000 tickets during the 2009 presale offering. A museum official stated that many people became members solely to be allowed to purchase Polar Express Tickets early.
In 2009, a family did not need to purchase a museum membership for each member of their family in order to purchase tickets in advance of the general public. If a family purchased a $20 children's membership to the museum this year, they then had the opportunity to purchase, in advance of the general public, an unlimited number of Polar Express tickets.
Membership to the musem offers much more, however, than the mere chance to purchase these tickets early. All memberships include:
