    park tickets

    Hi , I am new to this and wonder if somebody could give me advice. I have travelled to orlando before and bought my park tickets before i travel. This time i have been told it is cheaper to buy tickets from a ticket booth on international drive, i am a bit wary could somebody please help ?

    I have found a site called orlando (edited no links) and they have offers 2 seaworld tickets for $69.00 is this to good to be true ?

    I need some advice please

    Thanks Sharon

    Its not true at all, the cost price of 1 day tickets is about $4 less than the gate price. So impossible to sell 2 for $69.
    You may get 2 for this by doing a time share tour, but this means getting up very early and sitting through hours of sales pitch. Just not worth it to save a few bucks. Prices are ex tax too.

    Thanks for the reply i thought it was to good to be true, surely they should not be allowed to advertise like that.
    What about buying tickets from the booths on the drive ? any input would be great,

    Thanks Sharon

    Most of the booths are not legit and most sell second hand tickets wih days left on. Trouble is you have no idea if there are any days left. You will not get a better price or service than our own site. As I said above the cost price is only $4 less than gate, so anyone selling for less.....
    You will find muliday tickets are a beter buy than single day.

    To prove a point. We have guests in the villa at the moment and they thought they could get cheaper tickets over in Florida. i tried to tell them to use our link for the tickets but no. Anyway yesterday they did use the link I provided for the tickets as they had felt very uneasy when they looked at the booths etc.
    I always use this site for mine and know I get a great deal and great service.

    As all the major parks use fingerprint recognition systems to 'tie' tickets to their first user, 'part used' tickets have a very high chance of being rejected at the turnstiles....
    Even with genuine tickets, it's best to sign them so you know which person in your party each is 'tied' to.
    It's easy to buy cheap tickets (but only 2)......The only downside is a brain numbing condo presentation which only lasts about 4 or 5 hours - hard sell takes on a whole new meaning - & you don't get the tickets 'till the very very end !
