Best place to buy theme park tickets?

Hi all, hope you are all well.

Now this is doing my head in, because there are SO many ticket sellers out there and it sounds like a total minefield and been reading comments on here, so just wandering...……...honestly where is the best place to buy them for Value and Reliability?

We have used ATD on numerous occasions but then when you compare them to others, they are slightly more expensive, but then you know you are getting real actual tickets and they are reliable, so do you go back there or go elsewhere because it's cheaper?


Just wanted some advice really as to who you use, who is the best and value for money really, like I say there are so many, how do you choose?

Don’t fix what’s not broken, I tend to use “undercover tourists” ,via the mousesavers newsletter (as tickets cheaper via link),but all prices have just gone up, bondy.

Florida tix

We are going next year and used floridatix, I am a spreadsheet geek and pretty much found as many places as possible that sell them online and worked out the best deal and they seem to be the cheapest. Also used them because they reserve your tickets or space for a set date at Discovery cove and you just pay a £10 deposit and then pay it off as and when before you travel so works out perfect for us! Let me know if you find any other deals!

I second floridatix, we used them last year. Liked the fact we could pay the deposit and received all tickets quickly when we paid of the balance.

I've used OrlandoAttractions a few times in the past and they would be the ticket company I'd choose in the future.

Their prices are usually quite good, they do a variety of different tickets (Magic Your Way tickets for Disney, 2 or 3 day tickets for Universal, etc), they send out real tickets, and they're reliable - although it can take a couple of weeks to get the tickets.

I think all of the ticket websites that advertise here on the DIBB are generally reliable. If I didn't pick OrlandoAttractions then I'd probably pick whoever else provided tickets at the best price.

I know the feeling! So many companies out there it does get confusing. When I was looking for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Tickets I found Orlando Ticket Deals the best at time. What I really liked was the fact they are an Authorised Disney seller. Even better they only needed a £10 per person deposit to book! They have also been running a flash sale mainly on a weekend.

I am still trying to convince the hubby to do Discovery Cove so will be looking out for any upcoming deals!

It depends on which tickets you want as to whether you get actual credit card size tickets or not. If it's the Disney Ultimate and the Universal Explorer tickets you get the credit card size tickets, but depending on which company you use the SeaWorld 3 for 2 ticket can be sent as an A4 size ticket or a credit card size ticket.

Have a look at the companies in the yellow banner at the top of the page to compare prices. They are all reputable companies so go with the cheapest.

That was a good price, it would cost a lot more now.

This thread is a great example of competition in action! Everyone has their preferred/favourite travel agents etc.

I've mentioned many times that I personally use ATD although Orlando Ticket Deals seem very cheap at the moment with their recurring flash sale. Worth a look.
