Six Flags Fiesta Texas Military & Veteran Discount
$35 online single-day tickets via ID.me for military and first responders — plus free admission on Military Appreciation Days.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio gives military and first responders a strong deal — but you have to buy it online. Through ID.me, active and retired military and first responders can get a single-day ticket for $35 (the front gate is about $90), plus tax and fees, and add up to 6 discounted tickets for family and friends. The catch: it is online only and cannot be combined with other offers.
Once a year — historically over Memorial Day weekend — the park runs Military Appreciation Days with free admission for active, retired, veteran, reserve, and National Guard members who show a valid military ID at the gate. If you are visiting then, that is the best deal there is.

HOW IT WORKS
Six Flags uses ID.me to verify military and first-responder status for online tickets — you log in when prompted after selecting your admission, and the $35 price applies. The rate is rejected at the gate if it was not pre-purchased online, so plan ahead. Free-admission Military Appreciation Days are handled differently: they are verified in person by showing a valid military ID at the front gate.
The single best path depends on timing. Visiting over Memorial Day weekend? The free-admission Military Appreciation Days win outright — nothing beats free. Any other day? The $35 ID.me ticket is the everyday winner, and it also beats most public online single-day deals. If you will visit two or more times a year, price a Season Pass on a public sale instead, since the per-visit cost usually drops below repeated single-day tickets.
Watch the disambiguation: this page is about Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, not Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. The two parks publish separate military ticket pages and separate Appreciation-Days dates, so always confirm you are on the Fiesta Texas page before buying.
