Cheapest place to buy tickets online?

[sandgrace]

I used to buy our tickets from Last Minute Travel but don’t think they are selling them anymore. Where’s the cheapest place to buy discounted tickets now?

I believe aRes is currently the cheapest. Purchased my latest there; they were less than GAT or UT (the frog one)

I bought 4 through UT last week and, in addition to their regular discount, they were running a special that gave me an extra $5 off per ticket. That brought the total for be below what the same tkts would’ve cost via ARes. Not sure if the special is still going on, but it’s worth checking out.

UT consistently wins this comparison for me.

We use UT also

I’ve never used UT before, do they email your tickets immediately so I can make park reservations right away? We’re going October 5-6 and it’s during fall break here in Arizona so I’m worried the park reservations will fill up.

I used GAT and it was $5 a ticket discount. They email you your tickets right away. I purchased our tickets and made reservations right afterwards. It was easy.

How much off was it? When I priced it out a few weeks ago UT was less money off than ARes.

They've always fulfilled my order really quickly.

Yes, you get them right away. I looked at my emails from them in regard to my last order. I received a confirmation email at 12:20pm, right after placing my order. I received the tickets at 12:21pm.

I don't think there is an easy answer on this one. I have bought from all of the above because 1) their discounts and promos vary by a couple bucks and 2) the price advantages can vary even based on number of days, Parkhopper option, etc. I've even mixed and matched across ticket sellers for the family.

Ares continues to have a $2 fee per ticket. I don't think any of the others have that. Not much, but worth keeping in mind if you want the absolute cheapest.

The biggest value issue for us:
Be absolutely certain you are getting E-Tickets, and not "vouchers". E-tickets go straight to the gate. Vouchers need to be exchanged at the ticket booths, or when checking into a DLR hotel (which is no much faster). *With LMT Club not selling tickets, maybe/hopefully vouchers are a thing of the past. We shall see!

Yes. UT was cheaper for me, too. With the extra $20 off, I saved a total of $47 off of gate price. ARes was only about $30, IIRC.

I received my UT tickets within 2 minutes of placing the order last week.

Well, I just checked 3 day park hoppers at UT and aRes; UT is $344.34, and aRes is $340 (plus the $2 service fee would make it $342) so it’s aRes by a mere $2.34. So whichever you’re comfortable with. Both of them send you the e-tickets within hours of not minutes.
