| I just checked and I only get the options for Jan and Feb offers - which are both expired now.
Hope we get the March offer soon, I was hoping to have it by now as this week's the long weekend and my eldest just started kinder so I've got HEAPS of new families I can speak to about it! | | | |

| | The long weekend would have been the perfect opportunity. I had a few friends who were thinking of going this weekend if the offer was a good one. Looks like they'll miss out though as I won't see them before the weekend now. :( :( :( | | | |

| Well finally the March offer is up. A missed opportunity for SH though because I couldn't pass them onto my visitors early enough to organise a trip there this past weekend. I must say I am very underwhelmed, I can't see many of my friends and family using this one. 10% off entry.
The last thing I want to do is bite the hand that feeds me but I must say I think this whole program coud have been run a lot better. The feedback I've been getting from people I hand the voucher to (I've passed on over 30) is that it hasn't been enough of a discount to get them to travel up to Ballarat. Most people want to attend with their partner and kids so vouchers giving a decemt amount off family tickets or admit one adult for free would have worked better.
Now it's no skin off my nose how this program is run cos I could have gone at least everyday for the last 3 months and not given a toss. But I haven't done that, I've haven't run the well dry. My family and I have gone twice in that time, and we've happily spent at least $50 on food and soverniers each time.
I think it's a pity people haven't thought they are value enough. Sovereign hill shops would make a lot of money off visiting families and friends, even by cutting family entry by $30 say or admitting one adult free. I wrote all this in my survey by the way so my saying it here is not news to them.
Incidently on our second visit we were initially refused entry because my address on my licence did not match the address on the printed voucher, only for me to tell the girl to "flip it over my current address is on the back". Make sure your ID is spot on. | | | |

| I think the April offer is fantastic! And it is perfect to use during the school holidays.
To the person who wrote about the problems with printing... I just used a black and white printer and it was fine. | | | |

| I'm new to this! I have got the annual pass with a valid date from 8 April - 30 April. Does that mean that I have to find someone else to go before the end of the month or I'm no longer valid?
I thought it was at least every 3 months ... but if that's the case, why am I only valid until end of April?
Any advice from an experienced Viber would be greatly appreciated! | | | |

| hi loulou,
The passes seem to be updated monthly, I'm still not real sure what rhyme or reason is behind it, lol!
My latest pass only lasts a few weeks (?)
We're still hanging out for the May offers!??
By the time they magically appear it'll be too late once again to share them as everyone will already be booked out for the rest of the month! sigh.
I'm finding it difficult to share the vouchers due to the time lag but have made great use of our own pass  | | | |

| I've just read this on crystalangela's blog:
"crystalangela - Tuesday 12 May 2009
Had a lovely phone call from Vibe Village today (sorry I forgot your name) to discuss this program and how to better it. Also was told new offer is up and available without having to put in names. That will be excellent when available."
I want to know about the new offer'??
Is it the May offer??
Anyone else know anything?
It's my son's birthday next week and we were planning a day out to Sovereign Hill, it has to be this weekend as (for some unknown reason) our pass expires on the 18th.
We would have loved to have some friends come along too but there is no May offer available on my page yet...sigh
We loved our visits to SH and have been being great ambassadors for them by telling all our friends but I am also very disappointed with the delays. | | | |

| Thanks for the info Lelo - its all a bit of a mystery at the moment. I've got friends hanging out for the latest offer and I have no idea what's happening as my pass expires on the 18th as well.
I am meeting up with a heap of friends on Sunday and was hoping to take them all passes (I only see these friends every 3-4 months), but looks like I'll have to give that opportunity a miss. | | | |

| Hope you had a good day on Sunday Loulou 
We weren't able to go as the cold/flu season has hit our family...
But are very excited to see the new offer!!
The year long discount which is nameless, lol, will be much easier to share with random mum's I talk to at school, or where ever!
And our pass has been updated for a few more months (phew)
Hope everyone else is enjoying this vibe as much as we are. | | | |

| | I saw in the newspaper that Sovereign Hill is running their Frozen in Time activities again through these January school holidays and it reminded me that I should send out vouchers to all my friends again. However when I went to my program page there didn't seem to be any valid coupons and my annual pass didn't have valid dates either- has the program stopped? | | | |

| Yes, I queried Vibe Villiage on this recently.
They emailed back advising that the program had finished.
Our family passes finished 31st of Dec, so we headed up there for one last free visit that day.
It was very quiet as it was a hot day, but we spent most of our time doing the new underground tours, and enjoyed it very much!
I think we'll be continuing to spread the vibe for Sovereign Hill for a long time, it was a great program!
I'm sad to see it go. | | | |
