Why you should always book tickets in advance
There are lots of benefits to planning ahead.
1. You can save money
Everyone likes to save money on holiday. Most attractions around the world will offer a discount for people who book online. This could be through their official site or a third party operator offering a great deal. This becomes even more important if you are travelling with a group or plan on attending a lot of different attractions, which can quickly add up.
2. You don’t have to line up
How much of your life do you think you have spent waiting in queues? Next time, book ahead and go straight to the front. The bonus here is often twofold – you won’t have to line up at the ticket booth and then again at the front gate. Most pre-paid tickets will have a special line of their own where you can walk straight inside.
3. You can get it on your mobile
Gone are the days of having to print out a physical ticket to take with you, which could make it hard to book ahead. Now, you’ll book online and receive an email or direct link to your tickets. Take your phone with you, scan it at the gate and you're in. You are also helping the environment by saving paper.
4. You won’t miss out
Some really popular attractions can be booked out days or even weeks in advance. It would be very disappointing to arrive and find that there’s no chance of getting in. Booking in advance ensures you secure a ticket and also lets you schedule the rest of your days around availability.
5. You can take advantage of combo deals
When you’re in a new destination, there are usually a few different attractions you want to see. If you buy tickets in advance, you can look for combo deals that will bring together everything you want to see. You will save money and may even get a few bonus extras that weren’t on your list.
