Yes, but not "generally".
Some games have their season passes go on sale, newer titles won't let it happen and usually have the game at a lower price bundled with the base game itself.
I recommend getting the season pass now, it's going up by almost double in march.

There is a 20% discount on Green Man Gaming right now, so you could get it for $24. Which is the price of Far Harbor DLC alone.

Also, you can buy the DLC separately, and only pay for what you want, and don't have to spend all the money at once.

From Skyrim's experience, the DLC took about a year before it went on sale, and still, it was never as low as the discount the game alone would get.

They go. After a year or two. Sometimes.

Word of Advice: Never get Borderlands: The Presequel's Season Pass, you'll regret it.

As well as Borderlands 2's for that matter.

The price will be doubling after March 1st so just buy it for $24 while you can. After that, even a 50% discount will end up costing more.

I was going to post about Bundlestars having the Season Pass 15% off, but GMG trumps that.

Just make sure to enter "FEBURY-SVINGS-20PERC" in the code space when checking out to get 20% off the SP.

I'm kinda suprised not to see a long, active thread about the Seaon Pass price change. I don't believe that they suddenly decided to create more content and therefore wanted to adjust the price accordingly. Instead, they probably figured that the sales of a lowered price SP at launch (with no content available) would create larger revenue than a higher-priced SP. Now that they have fleeced the sheep, they announce that they are raising the price in the future. Behold, more sheep running to get fleeced. I'm not sure what this says about anyone buying the SP after the price goes up and before any content is released.

GMG always has a sitewide voucher for 20% (ish) off. Also you will not see the F4 season pass go on sale for $30 dollars for a very long time because the price is being raised to $50 dollars on March 1st.

You're right that the GMG voucher is almost always present. Sometimes it doesn't work on selected titles. I did verify that it works for the FO4 SP.

I would suspect that the SP will be discounted during the summer deal (mid-late June). A 40% off sale would bring it back to $30. It might not be until an autumn sale that it drops to the best current sale price of $24.

Why is it that you assume you'll get fleeced instead of getting a great deal? For $29.99, you'll get several hundred hours of game time. Even if you assume you'll only get 50 more hours, where else can you get that type of entertainment value? Don't know about you, but my cable costs $59.99 per month and a movie costs $10 just to get in, forget about the drinks and popcorn.

The point is that the $29.99 is for people who are willing to pay upfront for DLC sight unseen so they get a discount. Now that Bethesda has released more concrete information about the DLCs, there's no reason for any kind of discount. Now that you know about them, you can either buy them at full price or not, why should any company discount their brand new content immediately? That makes no sense, which is why the price of the DLCs is going up. Buy the Season Pass while you still can for a discount. As soon as they announced the DLC's, I purchased the Season Pass and I see that it's still on Steam's best selling list after a week, that's impressive.
