How reseller pricing compares
Viator and GetYourGuide are not the official ticketing authority. Both add a markup for skip-the-line handling, guides or bundled services. The size of that markup is not fixed across every product, so we state what is actually verified rather than a made-up grid.

Price by ticket type
Arena floor and underground access sell at a premium over standard entry, and each provider prices its own product differently. The exact current price for each ticket type lives on that ticket's own page, next to the booking link, so it stays accurate as providers change it.
