(both passes have blackout dates and are only valid for residents of SoCal in zip codes 90000-93599)

Deluxe $299 (blackout dates apply, parking upgrade is extra)

Is this in addition to the increases announced in Sept?

I am not sure what you mean. This is the current price so any price previous would be less than the what they are charging currently ...

I coulda swore they raised AP prices just 3 months ago.. Oh well, will not stop people from paying. Including me

I thought that is what I paid back in October.

It was $429 back then ... I renewed in September and that's what mine cost.

$429.... $439... what's another $10.00. I knew it was something like that. I remember when premium passes were $199.

They should dump that So Cal "select" pass...really I don't understand the point of that one.

And, I do believe they DID just recently raise the prices. I know when I had to renew in November, it was up from the previous renewal ($20, Deluxe) and they also raised the price for the parking add on by $10. Can't remember, but I think it was towards the end of the summer?

I can understand price hikes once a year, but this is getting crazy!

I'll still pay it though.

Oh, and FYI, if you are renewing and want to do the payment plan, you do NOT have to put down $72. You can put nothing down if you want. They just split the cost of the pass into 12 payments. I renewed in Nov. and the CM asked me "do you WANT to put anything down?" I told her "don't I have to put $72 down?" and she said, "not really...you can if you want, but you can also put zero down." I chose to put the $$$ down anyway since I had budgeted for it.

Great tip! I am up for renewal on Mar 1st and have to pay for my DS as an adult this year.
