Trampoline Park Prepaid Passes: Four Signals From October

On October 1, 2026, Sky Zone opened the purchase window for a $40 month pass at its Pembroke Pines, Florida park: up to two hours of jumping every day, access to every Halloween and Glow event, and, in the wording on the pricing page, “no monthly commitment.” A single 90-minute visit at the same park lists at $27.99.

The same month, Urban Air ran a fall membership push from September 16 through October 28, 2026: pay for five months and get six on a prepaid 6-month plan, or pay for nine and get twelve on a 12-month plan. In Singapore, Amped refreshed the price table for its relocated Katong park on October 22 with a two-hour pass built for repeat visits, and in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, AirFX launched its first points-based loyalty program, Flight Club, on October 15.

Four operators, two countries, four different instruments. All of them point the same way: walk-in ticket sales are being wrapped in prepaid and repeat-visit products that collect cash early, discount the second visit heavily, and change what a trampoline park owner actually earns per check-in.

This article verifies each signal against the operator pages themselves, works through the arithmetic a buyer or operator should run before copying any of it, and states plainly what would prove the trend reading wrong. Prices were checked on October 29, 2026.

1. Four Operators, Two Countries, One Direction

Trend claims in this industry usually rest on one company doing one thing. This one rests on four unrelated operators making comparable moves inside a single month, each verifiable on its own website.

Three of the four are the largest or best-known names in their market segment; the fourth is a single-site operator in Iowa. None of them is copying a competitor in the same city. When that pattern shows up, it is worth treating as a direction rather than a coincidence, but only after the numbers are on the table.

---

2. What Each Operator Actually Sold

The instruments are not the same thing wearing four names. They sit at different points on a commitment spectrum, and each point has a different cash-flow consequence for the operator.

2.1 Sky Zone: the no-commitment month pass

What it is A one-time $40 purchase that buys one guest up to 120 minutes of jump time per day through November 1, 2026, plus access to all Halloween and Glow events. The purchase window ran October 1–31, 2026.

What it decides The product name on the park pricing page is “Bounce Through October,” and the terms page calls the pass a one-time purchase with no monthly commitment. It is a bridge product: longer than a day ticket, weaker than a membership. Sky Zone sells it alongside an Elite membership at $35.99 per month (unlimited weekday access, 120 minutes on weekends, 20 percent off food and drinks) and a Basic membership at $30.99 per month (90 minutes per day, month-to-month, cancellable with three business days notice).

What to verify The pass covers one guest only, and the terms state that offers can be modified or discontinued at any time. The $40 figure and the November 1 end date appear on the park ways-to-play page, not just the promotional page.

2.2 Urban Air: the discounted prepaid membership

What it is A fall promotion, valid September 16 through October 28, 2026 at participating parks, applying to new prepaid 6-month and 12-month Unlimited Play memberships. At the Laredo, Texas park, the terms read: pay for five months and receive six, or pay for nine and receive twelve, with an ICEE cup for signing up.

What it decides Urban Air prices Unlimited Play at $14.99 per month and its Shorty 40-inch tier at $9.99 per month on its Manchester, Connecticut and Midland, Texas park pages, with a parent add-on at $4.99 where offered. The official pitch is that a membership costs half the price of a one-day Unlimited Play ticket, which lists at $29.99 at the Overland Park, Kansas park.

What to verify The promotion excludes existing members, requires full upfront payment, and varies by park. The Manchester page describes a milder version: two weeks free on the 6-month prepaid and one month free on the 12-month prepaid. Park-level discount depth is not uniform.

2.3 Amped: the multi-visit pass on a time ladder

What it is Amped, Singapore’s first indoor trampoline park, reopened in October at Roxy Square in Katong after moving from Raeburn Park. Its new price table, updated October 22, 2026, sells a 1-hour jump pass at S$26.90 and a 2-hour pass at S$36.90, with additional hours at S$20.90. A separate Multi-Visit Pass (MVP) page, updated September 26, 2026, promotes “the more you visit, the more you save.”

What it decides The time ladder rewards guests who commit to more time at booking. The MVP passes carry unpublished prices; the poster lists benefits such as longer validity and shared credits, but no numbers. We state that openly rather than inventing a discount percentage.

What to verify Grip socks are mandatory at S$3 per pair, bookings are final and non-refundable, and children aged 3 and under enter at S$10 with a supervising adult. All of that appears on the official price table image.

2.4 AirFX: loyalty as a paid-frequency engine

What it is AirFX in Cedar Rapids announced Flight Club in its October 2, 2026 newsletter and launched it on October 15: guests earn points on eligible purchases, unlock milestone bonuses, and receive rewards. A limited-time enrollment bonus, a free ICEE for anyone joining by October 31, 2026, pushes sign-ups in the launch month.

What it decides Loyalty programs do not discount admission the way passes do. They price the fourth and fifth visit instead of the first, which protects the walk-in rate while giving frequent guests a reason to return.

What to verify AirFX has not published the points-per-dollar rate or the value of milestone rewards. There is no public dollar economics for this program, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

3. The Break-Even Math Behind a $40 Month Pass

Sky Zone’s October pass is the cleanest of the four signals to put under arithmetic, because every input is published.

A standard 90-minute single-day pass at the same park lists at $27.99. Divide the $40 pass price by $27.99 and the break-even lands at 1.43 visits: two visits in the month puts a household ahead, saving $15.98 against the $55.98 list cost of two day tickets. That is an unusually low hurdle. Most subscription products break even at three or four uses.

The pass also buys two hours per visit-day rather than the standard 90 minutes, so its effective hourly rate falls faster than its per-visit rate. At $27.99 for 90 minutes, the day ticket costs $18.66 per jump hour. The October pass, used four times, costs $10.00 per visit or $5.00 per hour.

One more comparison sits inside the Sky Zone ladder itself. The no-commitment October pass costs $4.01 more than one month of the Elite membership, a premium of 11.1 percent. That is the price of zero commitment for thirty days. The month pass also expires on November 1, while the membership continues until cancelled, so the premium buys flexibility rather than access.

The same arithmetic shows where the risk sits for the operator. A family that uses the pass four times pays $5.00 per hour for peak-season capacity that the walk-in rate values at $18.66 per hour. The pass only pays for the operator if those four visits bring ancillary spending, a party booking, or a membership conversion behind them.

---

4. The Cash Flow Case: Prepaid Money Arrives First

Urban Air’s promotion shows the second reason operators push prepaid products, and it has less to do with the discount than with the calendar.

A monthly membership collects $14.99 in month one, $14.99 in month two, and so on. A 12-month prepaid at the Laredo terms collects nine payments, $134.91, on the day of signing, in exchange for twelve months of access. The park holds that cash while delivering the service, and the unearned-revenue balance falls toward zero across the year. The average balance over the term equals half the upfront payment, $67.46 per member.

The spread between the two parks, 8.3 percent against 25.0 percent on the same 12-month product, is itself a finding. Discount depth is set park by park, which means the promotional floor is soft. A buyer evaluating a franchise offer should not read the headline discount as a chain-wide number.

Scaled up, the float is not trivial. One thousand new prepaid 12-month members put $134,910 in the till on signing day, with an average unearned balance of $67,455 across the year. Against a fixed cost stack that we previously computed at roughly $94,000 per month for a 31,512 sq ft (2,928 m²) leased park in our first-year revenue ramp analysis, a strong prepaid cohort can cover a full month of fixed costs before the first month of service is delivered. That is customer-financed working capital, and it is the quiet argument behind every “pay 9, get 12” promotion.

The trade-off is symmetric. Prepaid members who visit rarely are pure margin, and prepaid members who visit often are the most discounted guests in the building. The operator is betting on the visit-frequency distribution, which most parks cannot measure until the program already runs.

---

5. The Time Ladder: Pricing Extra Hours and Extra Visits

Amped’s new Katong table is the clearest published example of a pricing structure that pushes commitment forward. Convert the figures at the October 29, 2026 exchange rate of 1.28178 Singapore dollars per US dollar.

Two gaps in that ladder deserve attention. First, the second hour inside the 2-hour pass costs S$10.00, which is 37.2 percent of the 1-hour pass price. Second, the extension hour, sold to a guest who is already in the building, costs S$20.90, which is 2.09 times the second hour bought at booking. The structure rewards deciding to stay longer before you jump, not after. In the operator’s own words on the table, the 2-hour pass offers “double the jump time for just $10 more.”

Sky Zone’s ladder points the same direction from the other side. Its All Day pass at $39.99 on weekdays sits just above the $40 October pass, and its Elite membership effectively prices a weekend visit at whatever the member’s frequency implies. Across both parks, the pattern is consistent: the more a guest commits in advance, whether time or money, the lower the effective rate, and the gap between committed and uncommitted rates is wide enough to change behavior.

For a park building its price architecture, the working rule is to keep the second committed step (the upgrade or the pass) priced at roughly a third to a half of the base product, and to price extensions for uncommitted guests at or above the first-hour rate. Amped’s published numbers do exactly that.

6. What the Operator Gives Up When Visits Become Prepaid

None of this is free money. Three costs come with the shift, and two of them show up in the numbers we have already published.

6.1 Per-visit revenue dilution

A member who visits twice a month on a $14.99 Urban Air plan pays $7.50 per visit, 75.0 percent below the $29.99 walk-in ticket. Sky Zone’s Elite member at four visits per month pays $9.00 per visit. The admission line shrinks per check-in, so the park leans harder on food, retail, socks, and parties. That is why we previously broke down food and beverage revenue per check-in and the mandatory grip sock line: they are the lines that absorb member dilution. Note, though, that Sky Zone’s Elite membership includes 20 percent off Fuel Zone food and drinks, which discounts the very line expected to carry the load.

6.2 Peak-capacity dilution

Members consume the same trampoline square footage as walk-ins, but at a lower marginal revenue per visit, and their usage concentrates on weekends and holidays when the park is fullest. The Elite tier explicitly grants unlimited weekday access and 120 weekend minutes. If member visits crowd out walk-in capacity at peak, the park trades $27.99–$39.99 admissions for near-zero-marginal member visits. Capacity accounting, not just revenue accounting, has to enter the decision.

6.3 Commitment risk

Month-to-month terms with three business days cancellation notice, as Sky Zone offers, mean the membership is a revocable discount, not durable contracted revenue. The prepaid versions fix that by trading 8 to 25 percent of the list price for duration. Refund and modification terms, “all sales are final” language, and non-refundable bookings (Amped) all push risk onto the guest side of the ledger.

There is a benchmark worth watching in the public data. At Airtopia’s McAlester park in July 2026, its first full month, memberships generated $10,655.24 of $243,079.27 in total revenue, or 4.4 percent, and the park ended the month with 569 active memberships against 8,360 guest check-ins. Because a member can check in many times, that 6.8 percent figure understates member visit share, but the revenue line still shows how far a young park sits from a membership-dominated model. We worked through that dataset in detail in our membership pricing analysis.

---

7. What Would Prove This Wrong

A trend claim is only as good as its falsification conditions. Three things would break the reading above.

First, if member revenue share stalls in single digits. The McAlester benchmark sits at 4.4 percent of revenue from memberships. If the next several quarters of Lelantos disclosures, the only park-level revenue disclosures in this industry, show that share flat, then prepaid instruments are a marketing overlay on a walk-in business, not a structural shift. Today the evidence covers product launches, not audited revenue mix.

Second, if the seasonal pass does not recur. Sky Zone’s October pass is a one-month, one-holiday product. If no equivalent appears around the December break, the reasonable interpretation collapses to “Halloween demand-fill,” and the direction claim loses its spine. A teaser on the Sky Zone homepage for an unwrapped “best deal of the year” hints at a December equivalent, but a teaser is not evidence, and we treat it as such.

Third, if discount depth narrows. The October pass already carries an 11.1 percent premium over the monthly Elite price, and Urban Air’s own parks differ by 16.7 points on the same product. If the 2027 renewals of these promotions come in at the Manchester-style 8.3 percent rather than the Laredo-style 25 percent, operators are telling you the prepaid push was opportunistic, not strategic.

One more honest limit: all four signals are operator marketing decisions, and none of the four companies publishes renewal rates, churn, or visit-frequency distributions. The arithmetic in this article works from published prices only. Where the industry data stops, this article stops.

---

8. Summary: What a 2027 Build Should Take From This

The four October signals describe an industry moving admission revenue from a single walk-in price toward a layered structure: a full-rate walk-in at the top, a no-commitment seasonal pass beneath it, a discounted prepaid membership below that, and a loyalty layer pricing the fourth visit instead of the first. The verified numbers behind that structure: a $40 month pass that breaks even at 1.43 visits, prepaid discounts ranging from 8.3 to 25.0 percent for the same product, and a second-hour upgrade priced at 37 percent of the base hour.

For an investor or operator planning a 2027 opening, the actionable version reads like this. If your park opens weekends near capacity, build the recurring-billing and member check-in infrastructure before opening day, because retrofitting it after launch is slower than pricing it in from the start, and our analysis of Oxygen’s half-term pass shows the same trough-filling logic working in the United Kingdom. Price a named seasonal pass at roughly 1.5 times the single-day ticket, which sets the break-even near two visits, following the Sky Zone ratio. Keep member discounts off the sock and retail lines, and cap food discounts well below the 20 percent that the largest chain hands out. And before matching a 25 percent prepaid discount, write down the visit frequency you assume per prepaid member: a pay-9-for-12 plan gives up $44.97 per member per year against the $179.88 list at $14.99 a month, and the program only pays if the upfront float plus the retained member’s ancillary spend covers that gap.

Three things you can do today:

1. Pull your check-in frequency distribution. If you cannot say what share of guests visited twice or more last quarter, you are not ready to price a pass. Our design and planning process includes the pricing-architecture decisions that depend on it.

2. Map the commitment ladder before you pick equipment. Zones that support 2-hour sessions, events, and repeat visits earn more per square foot under a prepaid model than a single-court layout does. See what we build into a park for that purpose.

3. Stress-test the discount against your fixed stack. A 25 percent prepaid discount is a bet that your cost base is covered by the float plus the retained share. Run it against your rent and staffing before you launch, not after.

FAQ

How much does a Sky Zone month pass cost?

The October All Access Pass at the Pembroke Pines, Florida park cost $40.00 for one month, with a purchase window of October 1–31, 2026. It covered up to 120 minutes of jump time per day for one guest plus all Halloween and Glow events, and it expired on November 1, 2026. Promotions vary by park, so check the local Sky Zone page for current pricing.

Is a trampoline park membership worth it for a family?

Run the break-even before buying. Sky Zone’s October pass broke even at 1.43 visits: two visits in the month already saved $15.98 against day tickets. Urban Air’s $14.99 membership pays for itself in half of one $29.99 walk-in visit, so one visit a month wins. A membership stops being worth it when visit frequency falls below roughly once a month, which is why parks push annual prepayments on their most frequent households.

How much do trampoline park memberships cost per month?

Published October 2026 prices: Sky Zone Elite at $35.99 per month and Basic at $30.99 per month, both month-to-month at the Pembroke Pines park; Urban Air Unlimited Play at $14.99 per month with a Shorty 40-inch tier at $9.99 and a parent add-on around $4.99, varying by park. Prepaid versions traded discounts of 8.3 to 25.0 percent for 6- or 12-month commitments during the fall promotion window.

What is a multi-visit pass (MVP) at a trampoline park?

A prepaid bundle of visits sold at a lower effective rate than single tickets. Amped in Singapore markets MVP passes with flexible credit use, longer validity, and shareable visits, following the pattern of UK operators. Its specific prices are not published on the current site, so the discount cannot be verified. In general, evaluate an MVP by dividing its price by the walk-in rate: the resulting break-even visit count tells you whether the bundle suits your household.

Do trampoline park memberships include grip socks?

Usually the first pair only. Urban Air’s terms state that each membership includes one pair of Urban Air socks redeemed on the first visit. Sky Zone sells SkySocks and permits reuse on later visits provided they are in good condition. At Amped, grip socks are mandatory and cost S$3 per pair. Because socks are a mandatory add-on for every guest, most parks do not bundle unlimited replacements into memberships.
