You can queue up to enter the venue directly by scanning the QR code, without having to buy physical tickets. It is convenient and saves time and effort. It is highly recommended that you purchase in advance.

You can board the ship directly at the designated pier for electronic code scanning authentication. You no longer need to waste time queuing up at the ticket area to buy tickets. This saves time and allows you to buy tickets at a more favorable price.

The race was changed to one day earlier. Luckily I didn't hit the time! Luckily, my subsequent journey took one more day out to other places! The atmosphere is super good! Although I was accompanying my friends to watch it, I had a lot of fun watching it!

There is no price difference compared to buying tickets on site, but it is indeed simple and convenient to use Klook to purchase tickets in advance and book a visit time.

The Tower of London is a historic place that every Londoner should visit. It is also beautiful inside.
TENG *******

Very convenient, but except for on-site ticket purchases, are all the electronic tickets purchased by other people sold on another platform or in another form? KLOOK ticket barcodes must be processed by staff at the counter before they can be used, and cannot be entered directly?
