      Unless they go ahead with the fare structure revamp and your birthday is after it comes into effect!

      The daily maximum that commuters can pay for public transport would also increase from $15 to $18 Monday to Friday, and the $2.50 Sunday cap would be replaced by a $7.20 weekend cap.

      I think Tiger Air does $40 returns if you book REALLY early. I did see one for August, but not sure for November.
      No guarantees either

      • sagitox on 01/01/2016 - 19:21

        Wow! The petrol would cost more than $20 each way! I'm heading to TigerAir.com.au!! What's the chance the flight will be cancelled though? 75% chance? Probs.

      • illumination on 29/01/2016 - 15:04

        Holy wow $40 return.. never seen it that cheap before but that is very impressive..

        • Mentoscoin on 30/01/2016 - 21:21

          Yes, I'm quite happy to pay a dinner out's worth of money on a flight to sydney. It's quite great

    WTF The voucher is in .dat format!!!
    I think it should be in pdf format & changing the extension doesn't work.
    Their system has screwed up & sent the wrong file.

    edit: I worked it out you open it in notepad & there is an url but the link is broken.

    • discrete on 01/01/2016 - 17:00

      I got attachment.dat as well. I've just emailed them (Taronga Zoo) requesting for a resolution. I think it's a bug in their system.

      • kyteflyer on 02/01/2016 - 09:59

          Just got a reply from them today:

          "Thank you for your email. We are aware of this issue and are currently working to fix the website. We apologise for the inconvenience. If your birthday is today or tomorrow (Sat 2 / Sun 3) please bring photo ID that shows your date of birth.

          Do you have a link to the voucher? I try downloading the dat file and then opening it in notepad. There is a link to a website but then when I go to it, I get a 404 error. My birthday is tomorrow

    Guys WAKE UP this is one of their tactics to get us into the zoo.

    • chooky12 on 01/01/2016 - 16:02

      Of course because you're not going there alone.

        I would for $1! I go alone to the movies, footy, ect. Why not my 31st birthday? #foreveralone

        • Trishool on 01/01/2016 - 22:47

          You need some friends - the non imaginary type of course!

          @Trishool: I do have friends. But often they don't want to see the same movie. Or are busy and can't go to the footy. I don't mind, especially if it's a movie I really want to see.

        • Trishool on 02/01/2016 - 21:13

          @sagitox: Dude my comment was in jest, not serious. I get where you're coming from, as I have on the rare occasion gone to watch some movies on my own. It's normal.

    This is a tough one. $1 entry is great, but "you’ll get a Taronga 100 birthday badge to wear…it means all of us in the Zoo will know it’s your birthday, so look out for some special moments!" cramps my antisocial style. I'm picturing a group of smiling zoo employees accosting me with a muffin - single lit candle - singing happy birthday.

      Most zoos open 365 days of the year or close to that as they need staff regardless to look after the animals. Taronga is no exception.

  • zorrt on 02/01/2016 - 10:03

    The voucher looks generic. It will be interesting to see if they cross check your name upon entry.
