UPDATE! The contest has ended and I’ve emailed the winner and sent her the tickets. Karen C. G., you should have received two emails!
Everyone else, stay tuned….I might have a few other tickets to give away!
Alert! You’re going to want to subscribe to Triangle on the Cheap!
The hugely popular attraction, Holiday Express, transforms Pullen Park into a holiday wonderland from December 1 to December 17, 2026. Guests go on a train ride, enjoy unlimited rides on the carousel, play at the Arctic Avenue, go on the Enchanted Elevator, enjoy s’mores, visit Santa’s Toy Shop, and so much more.
The only problem? Tickets sold out almost immediately when they went on sale in October. If you weren’t one of the lucky few who snagged tickets you’re out of luck. If you see people selling them, be very careful, because there are a lot of scammers.

But we’re to help! We have a number of tickets, and we are giving them all away to lucky readers.
To be eligible to win, you must be a subscriber to Triangle on the Cheap’s daily newsletter!
The first 4 tickets we’re giving away are for Tuesday, December 8, 2026, with a 7 p.m. train ride. Make sure you can go at that time, because they can’t be exchanged for another date.
To enter just scroll down and leave a comment. Make sure to enter the email address that you used to subscribe to Triangle on the Cheap. And please leave it in the email field, not the body of the comment. That way it won’t be visible to the public. If you put your email address in the body of the comment, it probably won’t be approved.
We will randomly draw a winner on Thursday, November 5. We will transfer the Ticketmaster directly to you and email you!
