It all depends on the Blazers. This deal is pretty good already — $35 for a $100 value — but as long as the Portland Trailblazers remain in the NBA Championship playoffs, the price is reduced by another 20%, lowering the price to just $28. This is for a Portland Rose Festival ride wristband. Whoever is wearing one gets unlimited free rides, plus three games, for one day at the Rose Festival CityFair (formerly known as the Fun Center) in Waterfront Park. Get the deal here. Use the code RIPCITY at checkout if the Blazers are still in the playoffs.
The $35 deal expires before CityFair opens, so get your wristbands before May 22. For the extra 20% discount, act fast — just in case the Blazers lose the next game.
But don’t miss this IMPORTANT FACT: The wristband is good for only ONE DAY. So choose carefully. The fair will operate on three weekends, but some days have later opening hours than others. The fair closes as 11 p.m. each of the days it’s operating, so to get the biggest bang for your buck, choose days when the opening hour is 11 a.m. so you have a full 12 hours to ride yourself silly. Those days are May 24, 25 and 25; May 31 and June 1; June 7 and 8.
CityFair, which features midway rides, live music, shopping, exhibits, attractions and food and beverages, will operate three full weekends in a row, beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 23.
