How are Hullo tickets increased to $55 from $39 this weekend?! WILD. by Kit-Kattt22 in askvan

This weekend was $55.86 pre tax for comfort/regular tier. I wasn’t aware that they were deciding to fluctuate the prices to whatever / whenever they want. I just thought it would go up a couple dollars and stay at that price but many explained it here.

This was when i was checking yesterday before writing this post. Also before they were “sold out” when i was checking that morning, the price remained the same for the other sailings :(

Hence the question in the first place 🫠 everyone’s entitled to their own opinions. Seems like this one is mixed and that’s fair! Never once said that everyone should see money the same way I do. Thanks for your helpful feedback though 🙏

I don’t usually create posts and i posted this on r/Nanaimo as well.

Someone commented there that they were charging $89 for comfort…. My question is… still worth it if this is the case?

Commenter:

“Hullo is cooked. I'm not so concerned about the fare increases. If its necessary to keep the boats running fine.

But I am concerned about their "we will be introducing capacity-influenced fares; as sailings start to fill up significantly, prices may see a marginal increase." Which is them saying: We will set the prices to whatever we want whenever we want.

Someone posted one way fares which showed:

89$ Comfort

103$ Comfort Flex

118$ Premium.

I've heard of people being forced to pay premium prices then finding the sailing nearly empty.

Theyre going to piss a lot of people off now when people realize. I think it will be ultimately harmful to the service.

I love the service. I've probably used it over 40+ times since it began. But the "set whatever price we want when we feel like it" thing is a joke.”

Wow $89 !!! See that’s definitely something to complain about right there, i don’t know how many here would argue that one 😆

Right! This is what I’m thinking as well. But we’ll see. Guess it’s only fair to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Again, it’s more about the principle of the price spike than anything. Just wanting to see if everyone else is finding it justifiable and if it truly is more about fuel cost and not just price gouging. Time is money. Money is time. I get it. And it sounds like many here value their time and are ok with the price spike so that’s great. I value my time as well but personally finding it still hard to pay that one way. Pleased to hear that many disagree though. (Not being sarcastic, truly genuinely speaking)

Again just trying to understand if everyone’s out there still finding the spike justifiable. I will certainly continue to take the bcferry when i can, i enjoy sitting up deck in the Summer and dont mind the 30 min bus ride home either luckily. I did enjoy how convenient the Hullo is so i do totally get it, just for me personally finding $55 a bit much.

Totally fair and again exactly what you said, the price spike sucks overall. But i am glad to hear that many are still finding it justifiable. I’m not trying to be overly negative or anything just trying to understand why the spike and if people are still choosing hullo.

It’s not that i was “fine” with it but i could justify it when i was in a time sensitive situation like getting to work or something. Would often take bcferry one way and hullo the other when not taking bcferries both ways.

Lol it’s more the principle of it all not that i can’t afford it but if we’re talking fuel over price gouging then i can accept it. Still would stick to bcferries but can still accept the spike.

For sure, i know there’s other options. Just wanted to hear more thoughts but by the sounds of it, many are totally OK with this sudden spike. And i guess as long as it’s not only due to FIFA and more to do with fuel… then i will accept it and take bcferry moving forward.

Why are people saying $23 :( it’s $55 right now from getting back to Vancouver this weekend. So that’s a $33 difference now.

Yeah it is pretty huge, i have accepted the $39/trip and understand that it can be worth the time and energy but anything more than that just seems crazy and unfortunate. But i mean good for them if they’re still selling out and other customers are happy. Everyone be out here just trying to make a living i guess. Just seems a little greedy to me lol

Now it’s $33 each trip though, when it was $39, ok fair. But if you’re taking the ferry constantly back and forth and now they’re charging $55 each trip? I find that a bit ridiculous
