Since the sending of the ticket to my mobile phone did not work and I did,t have access to my printer, I had to take my laptop to show the ticket on the screen and that presented no problems so I don't think there will be any issues with paper that is a slightly different size.
Please be aware that even with an advance ticket there is still a significant amount of time spent in queues both on the way in and for the lift to the 3rd floor.
HawaiiTrvlr my understanding is that there is no discount if you choose to walk so you may as well take the lift.
