Is there a difference in Ticket companies?

Just about to get some Universal/seaworld/bush gardens etc tickets.

Is there any difference ( other than then price) between the main vendoes? I have seen some offer free parking at seaworld and aquatica but any other differences I should know of?

Some give more freebies than other's, some give A4 paper size tickets for Seaworld, Busch Gardens, Aquatica, while other's give the credit card size tickets. As you say some are cheaper, but they are all reputable companies.

I don't thunk there's much difference between the companies at all, just the way they issue the ticket.

We always use Floridatix. They issue credit card sized tickets ready to use.

As for cost, floridatix offer a price match if you are comparing between ticket vendors as opposed to holiday companies.

If you buy a UK style 14 day ticket for SW/BG/AQ or any two of the parks (usually the same price for 2 parks as 3 at the moment) - then this comes with free parking (and transport to Busch - but you have to book that separately).

If you book via a US site e.g undercover tourist for 2 separate day tickets for say BG and SW then you have to pay parking on top (but transport to BG is free). Same if you buy direct.

So on the UK sites it is a matter of price and freebies. (we also prefer the credit card sized tickets as easier to carry around).

I just got my tickets from Orlando Attractions today. £4000 on tickets and no freebies. Supper disappointed- considering Disney are offering free La Nouba tickets

OA often have freebies available - so surprising that it was devoid of anything - not even a play4less card or premium outlet mall vouchers ? That is pretty standard.

Sometimes more expensive freebies are reflected in the ticket price so not free

If you deducted the cost of the OA Disney tickets from the Disney Disney tickets does that give enough flex to buy la Nouba tickets under the Thomson offer ?

Disney aren't offering free La Nouba tickets. It's ATD that offer the free La Nouba tickets.

ATD's price for the 14 day Disney tickets = £314
OA's price for the 14 day Disney tickets = £282

So those "free" La Nouba tickets actually cost £32 each.

As the others have said, you usually get a few freebies with the tickets from OA. Usually a Dine4Less card and/or KidsEatFree card or something similar.

The La Nouba deal is a good one if you were planning to go. Normally ATD will not include the "freebie" if you get them to price match. I say normally as I have had the freebie in the past as well as the price match depending on who you get on the other end of the phone.
