Why is purchasing tickets online at rivertickets.ru way cheaper than buying tickets at the pier?
At present the market realities are such that companies spend 50 % of the ticket price to attract clients. When tickets are sold at the pier, their price includes the salary of the promoters, cashiers and the administrators that work at the pier, rental costs for cashiers’ offices, costs for advertising constructions and promotional materials. At the same time there are also high risks of loosing part of the revenue due to the cashiers being unscrupulous and the clients being poached by the competitors.
Selling tickets online doesn’t have any of those drawbacks and all the expenses are included in the fixed commission, that’s why it’s in the interest of the shipping companies to promote the sale of tickets online providing significant discounts instead of selling overpriced tickets at the piers.

Is the price stated per one person or per two?
The price is always stated per one person, apart from a romantic walk «Date on a boat», where one ticket is intended for two people.
Does the price stated include discount?
All the prices of both child and adult tickets already include all the discounts.
Do I have to register on the website to purchase the tickets?
No. No registration is necessary and the whole process of purchasing takes very little time.
How can I pay for the tickets?

Can I use Yandex.Money or QIWI-wallet to pay for the tickets?

My card does not have a cardholder’s name on it, do I need to fill in the «Name and surname» field when inserting my card data to purchase the tickets?

What is the format of the tickets?
The tickets are in PDF format. The most popular app for opening such files - Adobe Acrobat Reader is usually installed on the majority of personal computers and mobile devices. If you cannot open the file, install the app or any other analogue.
Why can’t I buy more than 10 tickets at a time?
It’s a technical limitation of the ticketing platform. You can get the necessary number of tickets through multiple purchases.
How do I show my tickets when boarding? Do I have to print them out?
There is no need to print out the tickets. You can show your ticket on the screen of your mobile device (tablet or smartphone). Make sure that the QR-code of the ticket (square-within-squares-at-three-corners) is scanned correctly since that is how the tickets are validated.
Whom do I show my tickets to when boarding? Do I have to address the ticket office?
The tickets are usually checked right before the boarding and there is no need to show them at the ticket office at the pier. However in some cases you will be asked to do that (for example, for «Radisson Royal» yacht cruises and walks departing from North river terminal).
You can find more accurate information on the page of each particular walk as well as on the ticket itself. In cases when there is no detailed information concerning this matter, you have to show your tickets at the ticker office at the pier.
