Ticket price matching

[Perladal]

Has anyone had any luck getting Attraction Tickets Direct to price match? I've found Universal/Disney Combo tickets for around £200 less in total (3ad 1ch) from Theme Park Tickets Direct but ATD say they can't price match as the other company isn't ABTA registered. Are there likely to be further sales or are ticket prices as low as they're likely to get? We last went 3 years ago and 1 child us now over 9 and into adult price ticket band so it seems much more expensive this time round!

I have just used American attractions for orlando ultimate tickets, who price matched theme park tickets direct. they also threw in a free eat and play card.
I've been keeping an eye on prices for months and decided to take the plunge.

Hi, can you pay a deposit or do you need to pay in full with American attractions?

[antheve]

You can pay deposit and balance is due 5 weeks before travel.

Nobody knows for sure if prices will go down further or not. From reading about on here the general consensus is they are about as cheap as they are going to get but it is just educated guess work. I took the plunge for all our tickets on boxing day as did many others.
I do know that Attraction tickets Direct do the Win-Win 25 offer attraction-tickets-direc...-deposit-offer
Not sure on the others though.

I did see that win win offer with atd. However I went with American attractions as they were 70 pp cheaper. Big saving on family of 5.

ATD, will price match Florida Escapes. We got ours yesterday, we have used them in the past and pleased with their excellent service. Shop around then get them to price match. But you do forfeit the KSC offer.

Of course, you could just buy the tickets from Theme Park Tickets Direct and get them at the cheaper price. In order to encourage lower prices, it's better to reward those that sell at the cheaper price rather than ignore them and reward those that advertise higher prices.

The Theme Park Tickets Direct website is owned by the same company as the Orlando Attraction Tickets website, which is an advertiser here on the DIBB. They are both part of US Rentacar which has been around for many years. (As US Rentacar doesn't sell holidays and isn't a travel agent, it can't be part of ABTA).

Also TPTD does a £10 deposit scheme.

Just use TPTD. They are selling the exact same thing and not trying to charge you an extra £200. If we don't use the cheap companies then there'll be no cheap ones to ask the expensive ones to price match against...

AA offered me free dine and play card and free kids eat free card. TPTD didn’t. Every little helps.
