Statue of LIberty Tickets.com

Fraud and a Scam

20th of Jul, 2012 by transitofvenus

WARNING - Don't buy Statue of Liberty tickets from StatueOfLibertyTickets.com - they are a Ripoff and a scam. They charge a $7 fee for simply forwarding your order to StatueCruises.com, the official website for the Statue of Liberty. You can place your order for Statue of Liberty ferry tickets there yourself and save this $7 scam fee. Statueoflibertytickets.com charges $24 for the ticket that you can get for $17 at StatueCruises.com.

When I compared what I would be getting for the difference between $24 and $17 for a ticket I was led to believe by the Statueoflibertytickets.com website that I would be getting a reserve ticket that would let me avoid long lines and that I would be getting the benefit of an included extra audio tour. This is a scam. There are no reserve tickets that get you in before anyone else and the average wait to get to the security check-in point is more than an hour, frequently two hours. And what appeared to be a benefit not included in the StatueCruises.com ticket was the audio tour which in actual fact is a totally free audio guide provided to everyone by the National Parks Service.

Yes this is a scam. Typical of New York City.

I just got sucked in and it is "sucked in". Everything you've related is true.

And these dudes must pay off Google to get their site listed right at the top.

So bottom line is save yourself $7 a ticket. Neither these con artists or Google need the money!!!

Always do a Google search before buying anywhere you haven't before.
