cheap park tickets

[hamish]

I know this is probably controversial, but have just seen a company that appears to be very cheap.
Has anyone had any dealings with the following.
[name edited] they are ABTA bonded and part of the COOP travel group.

Mmmm. Well I just noticed this for starters. "Credit Card charge of 2% applies."

Also, their 14 day Universal pass is £160 plus a 2% credit card charge. But OV 7 day Universal ticket is about £78.38 with no credit card charge. So you could buy 2 x 7 day tickets from OV cheaper.

I didn't check out any of their other tickets but there aren't many options?

Plus you only seem to be able to purchase/use their tickets up to 31 December 2009, which seems a bit odd?

And how do you get them? It doesn't have any explanation about delivery, delivery charges, etc.

Tickets are delivered to your home address, on some occasions there are e-vouchers which are activated on your first park visit.
My next door neighbour told me about this company, having saved nearly £200 on his family disney tickets.
I was looking at the following.

Orlando FlexTicket

Enjoy 14 consecutive days of Unlimited Admission into Universal Studios, Universal Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld Orlando, Wet n Wild Orlando and Aquatica.
Complimentary entrance into the venues at the entertainment centre Universal CityWalk - Orlando's hottest entertainment & dining venues is included for the duration of your ticket.
Excellent Flexibility meaning that you can visit the parks every day, and even park hop as much as you like in one day!!
Tickets expire 14 days after first use.
Adult £135

Child (3-9) £115

We have always used the forum before, but it would be foolish for me not to check this out

Somethings does not sound right here, this is the flex pass but last years prices. Noone would have stock left as it is not bought in bulk. This means they must be selling this years stock at last years prices i.e. below cost. Be very wary if they are sending vouchers, two large companies went bust last year and they had been issuing vouchers. With vouchers a company can amass a huge pile of money before the vouchers are exchanged... Atol and abta do not cover themepark tickets. Buy from someone who delivers hard tickets within the time covered by your card insurance.

Thanks for that Martin, i have done some furthar checks and after speaking to them i am very dubious, so will not using them.
However we still need to get four lots of tickets with the same criteria i,e.

14 consecutive days of Unlimited Admission into Universal Studios, Universal Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld and Aquatica.
Complimentary entrance to Universal CityWalk is included for the duration of your ticket.

Tickets expire 14 days after first use.

I cannot see the same sort of ticket on your site.
Would be grateful for your advice, as we leave on the 23/4.
Thanks again

I have noticed that park-tickets is now not the best price for the tickets I'm after (5 day flexticket) on a number of well known websites. Is there any plans to reprice in the future as park-tickets is usually always competitive in most tickets I've looked for?
