re: Bansko, price of pass
for house pricing yes.if you dont know who sells what YES there is 2 tier system-and you will pay much much more.
For the lift prices though-N O.
I agree with Pete P.

THERE IS NO WAY OF GOING TO THE SKI LIFT DESK SAYING -1 DAY LIFT PASS AND GETTING A PRICE ACCORDING YOUR LANGUAGE.
tHEY HAVE TO GIVE YOU RECEIPT.
IF IT IS DIFFERENT YOU CAN DEMAND EXPLANATION AND CONSUMER RIGHTS .
I HAVE MANAGED TO REMOVE DESK ATTENDANT FOR LYING (SHE GOT THE SACK VERY QUICKLY)

NOBODY WANTS DODGINESS ANYMORE.
MAYBE THEY WILL TRY TO CHARGE YOU MORE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING AND READY TO PAY ANYTHING.IF YOU KNOW THE PRICE THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL PAY-THE FACE VALUE OF THE TICKET.
Andy you can be married to ski instructor in Pamp.good on you.I am one and not married to one.
And for the menu lists-they can be corrected at any time.laminate one page and give it to the punters/guests .most of the restaurants have a menu in bulgarian and english on the same pages or the dish is one price but 2 translations.is you get a menu with only one language -you are looking for a rip off.

re: Bansko, price of pass
andywhen tasseva ski in her day off as a ski instructor and a member in the resort she pays less of course than you-- the tourist-everywhere is the same.
seasonal passes are cheaper for locals ,workers,staff,regulars etc. plus there are all sort of discounts for this and that.it is the same if you work for M&S of BA here and buying some rubbush or tickets
re: Bansko, price of pass
well well, firstly im a bit surprised at Mikey, your wifes a ski instructor but has to pay on her day off??? 
she obviously doesnt work for a ski school then or she would have a season pass!
Let me set this straight, there is no clear answer the LAW states that you cant opperate a two tier system, thats EU law not just BG law, and anyone found braking this is liable to a heavy fine (i would draw your attention to other law ignorers ie some builders who are now finding themselves in deep ...

As for regular users getting it cheaper, duhh if i go to say my gym daily will cost me more than monthly. I am getting a season pass this year and it will cost the same as about 4-5 weeks use so you could say im a regular user and gettin a discount. Another point i would like to clear up, PLEASE PLEASE do not confuse the prices the tour operators list as the actual lift pass, i know this is like teaching granny to suck eggs but some people believe anything, i expect you believe these money back offers on phones as well. They are subsidised prices as they operators make a lot out of their packs by booking THOUSANDS well in advance, unless you are one of the @Big Boys' you havent a prayer of getting prices like that.
So to sum up, 99 per cent of holiday makers will pay the full and proper price, a few may get a few bob off, but when you work it out over six days its penuts.
As for restaurants, here we go, a two tier pricing exisits 'legally' as there are two distinct seasons, ie winter and summer. summer touists will not pay winter prices. most of the tourists are Bulgarian in the summer (although thats changing) therefore the menus are in Bulgarian, and some forgetfulrestaurant owners dont change these for the winter, and its only a few, primarily the OWNERS not restaurants that are rented for the season.
heres to a good season

re: Bansko, price of pass
Dave Canski tried to buy a discounted pass earlier this year Pete, he is after all a regular user. No joy! Bulgarians only.I think they want to see your ID card or residency permit?
re: Bansko, price of pass
Mikey, Whats with all THE CAPITALS, it is deemed as SHOUTING
anyway a receipt is given with full amount showing on it but a different rate is paid. Why would i lie? i am just passing on information to others.
Maybe you did not know this and a little sore from being shafted? But with all your power you wouldn't notice it
No id needed although i was told they may ask for it. Chris our local waiter gets ours for us. He's there about 2 mins and all is done.

re: Bansko, price of pass
I didn't I was trying to get discount at the bars for bulk ordering !re: Bansko, price of pass
Its common across most countries in the Alps as well so I wouldn't get to worked up about. As for EU rules what a load of tosh.My wifes local dairy in the highlands charges tourists more than local.
It happens in every country, your a fool if you try and deny it.
re: Bansko, price of pass
There is a two tier pricing which works on the basis that if you are a 'regular user' you get the price lower - basically your name has to be in the computer as having bought a ticket before. When you buy a ticket of more than a day you need to get a digital photo taken and your details added. Unfortunately, the people in the booth will write your name down phonetically and so the spelling might be shot. The secret is to keep one of your lift passes from last year and hand it over when ...

The secret is to keep one of your lift passes from last year and hand it over when buying. They will try and make you pay full price if you don't speak Bulgarian, but insist on it. It can save you 20-odd percent.
