There are lots of interesting sights and attractions in New York and most places take an entrance fee. To save time and money it's a good idea to buy your tickets before you leave home. One example is the Statue of Liberty that could have really loooong queues at the ticket office and then when you have bought your ticket, you should go to the next line to get on the ferry. With your ticket bought in advance, you can go directly to the ferry line.
We work with CitySights NY where you can purchase your tickets. After purchas you get a voucher by email which you can print out and take with you to New York. In the email you receive after purchasing it says where you have to go to pick up your tickets. For more information about picking up tickets see the CitySights NY website under "FAQ and Ticket pick up."
