It's all over that IT's Orlando page with the admins pushing folk to use them as well so they get their bit of commission rather than directing people to cheaper alternatives.

I've had a few posts removed because i've suggested cheaper places.
All the tickets sites do that.

Disney doesn't actually set a price for tickets weirdly its basically up to the reseller hence why they all put stupid top prices and offer discount

Except for the ones that don't, like OrlandoAttractions. They don't (usually) offer discounts - they just provide a good price to start with.


Personally, I dislike the practice of price-matching - at least in the way that FloridaTix and others do it. It pretty much implies that they are charging more than other websites might be and they will only reduce their prices if the buyer does some work and notifies them of the cheaper price. And then they only reduce their price for that person, no one else.

Price matching should be where the webstore goes looking at the prices of other sellers and reduces their advertised prices accordingly so that their prices on the website are the cheapest (or, at least, one of the cheapest). Not get the buyer to do that work.

Reading the OP's post I think they discovered the cheaper price after they had bought the tickets but within the 48 hours price match guarantee period?
