Definitely an experience. I only bought the regular ticket because I was at Lotte World on a weekday. But during peak season/on weekends, you'll probably have to wait in long lines.

I bought four 5,000 won vouchers. I took a screenshot of the barcode and was able to use it in installments if it was less than the amount, and use multiple vouchers if it was more than the amount. The only inconvenience is that I can't see the remaining balance.

An amazing experience at Lotte World! Booking the ticket was super easy, and entry was seamless—no long queues or hassles. The park itself is fantastic, with a great mix of thrilling rides, fun attractions, and beautiful indoor and outdoor areas. The atmosphere was lively, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Seoul, whether you love adrenaline-pumping roller coasters or just want to enjoy the magical ambiance. Highly recommended!

You can buy it immediately and use it on the same day. It will take about 2 minutes to receive it, and you can scan it with the clerk to deduct the price later. Buy a lot of 2+1 food and drinks, buy more
