Hi Guys,
First off may i just say i hope this is within the rules of the Forum and if it is not then i apologise, I thought i read them all.
Right Ladies and Gentlemen, I have had a look through the Forums however i have been unable to find a post like this.
I am trying to find the cheapest place to buy a Disney 14 day ticket as well as a 4 park Orlando Flexi-ticket. There is only one rule!
Real Tickets must be issued (none of these e-vouchers)
Ok guys, off you go, and im sure this will be useful information not only for myself but for the millions of fellow dibbers we have here :cool2:

I think this is pointless doing this as
• a few of the ticket companies Price Match,
• some only sell certain tickets so it depends on what you are looking for
• a lot of them change their prices quite often
• There are very often special offers.
• Disney and Universal tightly control the ticket prices and discourages large discounts so there isn't a masive difference between the various companies.
So any list posted here could potentially be out of date by tomorrow :D
Most of the companies are listed in the forums on a regular basis plus we have several Ticket Advertisers on the DIBB just check those out.
Also remember you are spending thousands on your holiday - DONT risk spoiling it by trying to save just a couple of quid on tickets by going with a company no one has used or even heard of :)

Curious why no e tickets, Disney are presently trialling e tickets at the moment for certain events, SW, BG, issue e tickets, just don't understand why people mistrust a ticket that can be printed off as many times as you want, that being Orlando ticket deals and attraction tickets direct are same company and they offer great service at a decent price,

Nice one Dougy - beats doing your own reasearch eh? lol
The answer was already there, price match wuth ATD:cool2:

Because another company will then advertise theirs slightly cheaper ;)

I understand what you all are saying about the price match HOWEVER I can not phone up a price matching company and just tell them to price match. They will ask me the place to price match to... at this point i will be like err..... just price match lol :D

I'd have thought it an obvious answer, just as Dougy is looking for the best deal, ATD do the reverse. Instead of having to continually check everyone's prices on a daily basis, they let the customer do it for them - then match it.
Does seem unfair on loyal customers who accept the site price and pay more than price-matchers admittedly.

I understand if you have a voucher you will need to queue to get your real ticket then queue again to get in. Give the real thing now !!

I initially Emailed them, and they replied saying that they would price match and to phone them which I did.

To be honest, I don't see why there is so many threads on ticket prices. If you do a quick search here for the ticket companies and check their prices, you'll probably find a couple of quid difference in the price of tickets.
The most important thing (and the reason why so many people use ATD) is to use a company that is recommended and trustworthy.

I bought my tickets online then noticed i could get them cheaper. I phoned back the place where i purchased them from and they refunded my card straight away! :grin: By quite a lot of money as well.... They kept their "Price Beat Promise"
also mind the small print about price match as sometimes they use extras to tease you to buy from them and as soon as you find a cheaper ticket and try the old price match then the free extras are no longer available as they are for full paying price only

Hi!
I have found that themeparkticketsdirect (.com) are the cheapest and most places will match them.
I am going to Orlando with Travel City Direct in april and they are able to price match though they issue vouchers, which I prefer as it is one less thing to worry about losing!
Though most travel agents will price match just be careful about any credit card charges!!

All the following are prices for 14 day ultimate, correct as at 20:33 today
Theme Park Tickets Direct
Adult £153
Child £133
OnlineFlorida.co.uk
Adult £155
Child £135
orlando-ticket-deals.co.uk

Keith Prowse

ticketswitch.com
Adult £189
Child £167
So my very rough maths calculate that's a total difference of £36 between the cheapest and most expensive adult tickets, and £34 difference for the kids. That equates for a family of 2 adults and 2 children of a difference of £140. So, no, they are not all the same :smile:
