sometimes, yes. Promoters will often pass out flyers for discounted entry. You can sometimes buy hard ticker presales at local shops for cheaper prices.

I heard you're planning on checking out the Armada night at Amnesia

_alot_, no, but it certainly helped. You kind-of have to look around.

And, the prices in San An were _usually_ cheaper than Playa d'en Bossa. However, you have to factor in the cab ride cost, and time to get there and back...

Typically yes. If you're 100% sure you're going to a particular club night, then its advisable to buy your tickets online through a site like Ibiza-Spotlight. Clubs normally have separate lines for online ticket purchases, so you'll probably get in much faster as well.

If you arrive and decide to Spontaneously go to an event, then its best to buy your tickets at a beach bar or from one of the many ticket sellers who roam the beaches in Playa d'en Bossa or San An.

Buying at the door, should be the last resort, because the prices will likely be higher - AND - you'll end up waiting in line.

You should be able to get discount bracelets on most of the beaches.

if you know exactly which club you are going to go to, then yes, buy the presale (online or at any of the bars on the island), they may be a few bucks cheaper then the door, but there is a seperate line for entrance, so it makes it alot easier/faster to get in.

ESPECIALLY for Pacha - buy presales, it will save you time/money/hassle.

they do pass our bracelettes for discount entry on the beaches, but usually you have to get there when the club opens or is really slow, so imo, its not worth it.

usually, when you visit the island, you already know your clubbing schedule, so buying presales is a good idea if you plan on showing up at peak times.

im going back end of july for two weeks and i cant fvcking wait.

Its almost the same... Do not buy online!! If anything buy at the pre party!!

What's the disadvantage of buying it online beforehand? Is it that much cheaper buying it on the island? Even with extra wait?

If you show up at Space or Amnesia with your e-ticket, you get to go in immediately. On popular nights like Cocoon and We Love Space, not waiting in line is well worth it.

If you buy from a beach bar or roaming ticket seller, you will more than likely spend a good bit of time waiting in line (depending on when you show up at the club.)

If you show up at the club to buy, then chances are you will wait the longest.

If you're staying in PDB, then you can easily buy tickets at Tantra or Beach Palace (they have ticket sellers that approach people on the street or when they're laying out on the beach).

Same concept in San An.

Thanks, Raoul. I asked because it seems like a no-brainer to buy it online if you know you're going to a specific party. Although I suppose if it's much cheaper to buy it from a ticket seller, it may be worth it, but would have to deal with the line at the door.

The savings are negligible. You can buy tickets online for the club nights you absolutely know you're going to, or for the DJs you're sure you want to see. Just print out the receipt and show up at the door.

If you're not sure about the other club nights and want to vibe it out when you get there, then that's great.

Beach Palace and Tantra in PDB usually have very good deals on complete pre-party packages. Its normally about 60 Euros for your club ticket, plus three hours of all you can drink from 2000-2300, as well as free transportation to the club via their chartered Disco Buses (typically for shows at Amnesia or Privilege). All in all, that's by far the best deal because you're saving a lot on drinks and a potential cab fare from PDB (or San An) to the club.

So buying the tickets at Tantra/Beach Palace would also mean that you may have to wait when you get to the club, versus not waiting in line if you buy it online? How much exactly is the discount between eticket and beach tickets?

Would this pre-party package include no waiting in line? I thought that there were free disco shuttles to Amnesia from PDB/San An for everyone?

Ultimately, I'm torn between paying a little more online and not having to deal with the line and buying it at the beach to get a better deal on the price.(also heard they come with a few free drink tickets if you buy it on the beach?) But I haven't heard about the pre-party packages until you mentioned it, so I'm a bit confused.
