Booked a pass online hoping it would be more convenient and I could skip long lines at the registration.
Ended up in a long queue with the all the rest who have prepaid tickets as they need to photocopy your ID and credit card you used to pay for it online.
Should I have kkown it is this complicated, I would have opted to pay in cash onsite as that counter is just a breeze. No queue for cash payt, just go to the counter and no other documents to photocopy etc. Totally ineffcient online facility option! Don't opt for it foe your own sake.
