To booth or not to booth that is the question.

[Happy Feet]

I've just been looking at the 5 park flex tickets and even though they seem like excellent value we were going to chance buying tickets as and when from the ticket booths.
Would this be a good idea? Can't find much feedback, good or bad, on these booths, can anyone help?
I may be a bit thick, but if they are buying unexpired tickets to re-sell, how could we be sure that the expiry date hasn't lapsed by the time we use them?
As we're 9 travelling in a group if we were conned it wouldn't be a cheap mistake.....Help!!!!!!:wavey: :wavey: :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

I wouldn't risk it. It could make or break your holiday.

Very risky, and not a cheap mistake if it all goes wrong, I'd prefer to buy from a reputable source and know my tickets were actually going to get us through the gate. Some of the cheap or free tickets from the booths are tied to attendance at a timeshare presentation, I don't know how you feel about doing that.

I wouldn't even consider it, my nerves couldn't stand it.

Do you know there are other optoins to the 5 park flex, which can work out much cheaper.

Look at the 'official ticket links' thread at the top of this forum, 7 day tickets from Universal are $87, and you can get unlimited admission to Seaworld and Busch for $85,

That's all 4 parks main parks for $170 or about £85, the 5 park flex is around £120 so you are saving £35 each, quite a saving for 9 people and you know you are getting proper tickets.

Thanks for those links BevS97. Probably book the separate tickets for Universal and SW/BG for the approx £85 pp. We wasn't interested in Wet n Wild anyway so this way we aren't paying for something we don't want.

We've gone for the 2 day/3rd free option at universal and the 2 park Sea World/Busch Gardens tickets as we do not do the water parks, wet and wild etc. And this worked out cheaper too. Also if you book before the end of April you get a free childs ticket for Universal:grin:

Very risky to rely on these booths much prefer to have bought and paid before we leave so its one less thing to worry about
