QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 19 2019, 05:20 PM) Actually not everything they scalp, for some of the entrance tickets, they are cheaper. Tried before multiple times for China attractions, Thailand, USS in Singapore and even Sunway Lagoon. If I didn't get B1F1 from Klook for USJ, I will get from them too. The price is cheaper than USJ site. Cheaper is becoz of bulk buying discounts, usually under group or corporate buys. They still get profits after paying off ground agents/runners. Main reason why they scalp, otherwise nobody will do work for free. For those not so hot (like daily limited thing) they won't overcharge you, but for those time limited stuff, they kaw overcharge to max just becoz they know they can. This is different than those travel website co-promos where the discounts are really by them in cooperation with the ticket sellers. Usually they limit how many tickets can be bought from the same credit card, so as to discourage scalping. As said, I don't & won't support them but its not illegal & no harm done.

QUOTE(scchan107 @ Sep 19 2019, 05:35 PM) There's Hozugawa boat ride that is overpriced and slower. Serve the same purpose as Sagano scenic train or... You can opt for more exiciting water rafting (Last run early November) https://www.hozugawakudari.jp/rafting/course/jyujitsuthat's the reason i forego the hozugawa boat ride...it's too expensive i had it in my itinerary until i saw the price per pax i think if i do the saga to kameoka train ride thn ride JR back to saga-arashiyama....still way cheaper and still can match the schedule because the 1st train is saga to kameoka at 9.02AM....the kameoka to arashiyama is 9.30AM

Thanks for the earlier shared site, I think I will book mine via the official site and go there to exchange to "The Rich" coach.  OK la, don't allow them to scalp me.  But before I cancel, let me check the site first.

QUOTE(Like a Bause @ Sep 19 2019, 03:34 PM) if arriving at kix airport at 9pm.. still able to make it to buy the KOP card ? If you arrive 9pm and no delays, should still be able to make it to the JR ticket office before they close at 11pm. But if got delays, maybe be prepared to run?

Shouldn't really matter bus or train, as long whichever best gets you from Point A to B at the cost you prefer. Only difference I see is that bus have luggage spaces for ur bags while trains might be limited in storage. I think parking it at the aisle is a big no no?

Hi all,
I am about to buy DisneySEA tickets but is stuck whether to get it directly from their official website or through Changi Recommends/Klook/Etc? What's your suggestion? I don't see discounts for Klook now.
Thank you all for your advise!
