Cheapest place to buy tickets?

Hey there

We have always bought our tickets through our travel agent in the past, but I am really trying to save money on next year's holiday by DIY on everything.

I've looked at the usual ticket sites (ie Floridatix, American Attractions etc) but the tickets I want (disney + Florida flex ticket) are priced the same as going through the travel agent.

Am I missing something? If there's no significant discount, then I might as well go through the TA and get someone else to do the hard work for me.

Also, if I AM missing something (which I probably am! ), where is the best site to get tix from please?

Many thanks

Have you tried Attraction Tickets Direct? They have a price match policy as well

we have for the last few years got our tickets from- park tickets.com they are very good and saved us a lot, you can have them delivered or pick them up from their offices in orlando, we have done both options , but make sure if you pick them up you take some id , I didn't but the guy took pity on me and gave me them anyway

Thanks so much - it's always good to have somewhere else to look at and see what others are offering. I just can't believe it's so much for park tix (there are 5 of us though!) and previously assumed we were being ripped off by the TA, when it appears we weren't!

I searched the web for the cheapest tickets I could find (2 different companies for DC and Universal), and then asked ATD to price match, which they did AND included their freebies (discount vouchers & underwater camera).

They also allowed me to book with just £10 deposit (this was afew months back).

I settled up on Thursday & they arrived Saturday

I'll update with who they price matched.

These are the prices Jimmy at ATD matched:

DC Ultimate Swim £172
DC Ultimate non-swim £116
Universal 2 Park £101 adult, £91 child

But I can't find the companies I got the quotes from - sorry!

I've just got off the phone to Attraction Tickets Direct and yes they will price match, they remove all the freebies (fair enough) but they also won't allow me to pay a deposit. If they price match, they want full payment there and then.

We got a price match from ATD and also got to keep the freebies like air boat ride and were able to still only pay £10 deposit per person.
