If you buy the ticket online, you still have to queue up at the counter to “convert” the online ticket printout to a paper ticket…and you would find the same 10% discount or an even bigger one, in freely available tourist booklets. My advice is that you just buy the ticket when you get there and not pay more well in advance.

I remember the day when it cost only $10 to go up to the Observatory Deck and that was it… no screening nothing… recently we were Sydney to find out it was a lot of money to get up there and to go out on the deck… no way… then we wanted to go through the Opera House… $34 to go on a tour through there… nah… I remember when that too was $8 – yeah, prices rise but since being in Sydney only 5 years ago… I couldn’t get over how much prices have gone up. Having said that… I still love the place… take care

EDITOR: thanks for the comment Felicity

I really want to visit Sydney. It would be a nice welcome change from the cold Canadian winters. The tower sounds a lot like the CN tower in Toronto. Pay to go up, you wait, you have to get scanned by security. They blew some sort of air on me for some reason??? Got up. There was a great view. The view is spectacular.

I think it’s just one of those places you always have to visit. I like to do it at the start of my day, so you can see the city out there, before you take the adventure of going around it.

Thanks for the post. Hopefully I’ll get my chance soon enough to go up the Sydney Tower.

EDITOR: Hi chris, nice to see you commenting again

I know exactly what you mean about the CN Tower because when I was little my family lived in Scarborough, Toronto for a few years and of course we went to all the great places nearby including the CN Tower, Skydome, Niagara and Horseshoe Falls etc

Never been to Sydney myself unfortunately, but friend who visited recently told me that view from tower is really impressive, worth both time and money for tourist at least.

That’s a great aerial… It’s good you break the profile of most who don’t ever visit the tourist stops of cities they live in. Much more economical to occasionally have a local vacation and hit the tourist fun spots, saving on fuel/environment in the process.
