A rate fence is a barrier between target markets that ensures that different markets pay different prices. Landman (2010) notes that there are physical and non-physical rate fences. In the hotel industry, a physical rate fence might be the quality of the room -- the guests need to discern a difference in order to justify paying a higher price.

The Silver pass cannot be used on Sundays and holidays, which are the busiest days for Ocean Park. This rate fence comes at a cost of $220 for adults and $740 for children. As a further enticement over general admission, FunPass receives in-park benefits, and further benefits from network partners. These are an enticement over general admission, and all FunPass holders receive these benefits. There do not appear to be many physical rate fences -- Ocean Park itself does not change for passholders.
