It is easy to use. Reservations are required for the British Museum, Westminster Abbey and St. Petersburg. The exchange in St. Petersburg is more troublesome. You need to go to the counter to get a small note and send the purchase voucher to the mailbox recorded on the note. The counter will confirm after receiving it. Only if it is correct can you enter

When I showed the barcode at the entrance, they exchanged it for a paper ticket and I was able to enter. There is no need to exchange it. Once you get to the entrance, you can enter. It was a little cheaper than the official ticket, so it was helpful!

You must start to reserve tickets for attractions within 30 days after purchase. Once you reserve the first attraction ticket, you must reserve the remaining attraction tickets within 30 days of booking the first attraction ticket. For example: if you purchase a pass on 1/1, you need to start booking the first attraction ticket before 1/30 (you can cancel for free if it is not overdue and has not started booking). If you book the first attraction ticket on 1/29, you need to reserve the first attraction ticket on 1/27 (Inclusive) Reserve the remaining attraction tickets in advance. There is no restriction on the farthest date that can be reserved when reserving tickets for attractions. As long as the tickets for the attraction are open for booking on the date you want to participate, you can reserve them. There is no restriction on the time period that can only be reserved within 30 days from the opening date.

Wonderful event, full of atmosphere. The quality of the food in the Lounge is also good. VIP tickets include drinks and food. It is recommended to arrive at least 1.5 hours in advance to enjoy it.
