BURGH101 is Back in Session
VisitPITTSBURGH relaunches and expands savings pass just in time for students and families to return Pittsburgh for the 2024-2025 school year
(PITTSBURGH, PA) – VisitPITTSBURGH is excited to announce the return of BURGH101 for the 2024-2025 academic year.
The promotion aims to introduce college students and their families to all Pittsburgh has to offer via a savings pass that will give them access to discounts and promotions on admission, food, beverages and more at more than 60 participating businesses around the city. Plus, it will be available to students and their families for the full school year, through May 31, 2025.
In addition to the extended timeline and many new participating businesses and attractions, the savings pass is going digital. The mobile-exclusive enhancement, powered by Bandwango, will be delivered via text after signing up at VisitPITTSBURGH.com, eliminating the need to download yet another phone app.
“While we see more than 80,000 students come to Pittsburgh area universities each year, many of them rarely step foot beyond campus. We designed and continue to refine BURGH101 with just this in mind,” said VisitPITTSBURGH President & CEO Jerad Bachar. “We’re thrilled to be able to partner with so many area businesses to make it easier and more affordable for students to expand their learnings beyond the classroom and immerse themselves, and their visiting families, in all our city has to offer.”
Various area hotels have also signed on to participate, encouraging parents to extend their stay beyond Welcome Week to explore the city.
The program has been widely endorsed by area universities, including presenting sponsor Point Park University.
