WB Harry Potter Studios Sold Out
 
So a friend is taking his family of 4 on a last minute trip to London and wanted to take the kids to the Harry Potter Studios but they are sold out for his dates. However, there are 3rd party vendors selling tour tickets. Any advice on any of these? Has someone used one and were they worth it?

thanks!

>>Has someone used one and were they worth it?<<

'worth' it seems a strange question? Those third party vendors don't do the tours -- they just resell/scalp the tickets. So IF the studio is a must, and IF an agency is the only way to get tickets, and IF the family can afford the up-charge -- then they would be 'worth it'.

If any of those answers are 'no' then they wouldn't be worth it.

They're not giving you something extra. They are just reselling for a profit If your kids really want this do you want to disappoint them for a few $? If it's too much money then don't tell them about it.

I actually went last summer and loved it. It's for a friend and his family, he said he came across tours (which I said you didn't really need a tour guide to take you through the Studio) but I guess he didn't see an option as the regular tickets were sold out. Although when we were there, we did see tour guides going through the Studio.

I suppose the real question is: If you have to go through a 3rd party vendor for tickets, and they do in fact include some kind of "tour", which one would you use?
