Lotte World ticketing/tips
I'm taking the family to Seoul for an extended weekend. My kids are very keen on going to Lotte World. From what I can tell, it is very busy on weekends and highly advisable to get a Magic Pass to skip the line for rides. However, I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out the best way to get tickets. The official app is mostly in Korean (which we can't read or speak), and the English websites that sell tickets seem to be more expensive than Lotte's posted rates and don't seem to offer the Magic Pass option (and frankly I would rather pay more to get into the park as seamlessly as possible rather than waiting on line to exchange a pass or something). Should we just show up early and buy tickets at the gate? Any recent experiences to share?

There are so many random discounts everywhere for Lotte World honestly - Trazy, Klook, at the ticket window depending on the day and card and the month. Also, I have heard that the Magic Pass you have to buy on the spot, I'm not sure - but if there is something sold by Trazy or Klook, I would do that to save time. And I also heard that you have to apply for each ride for Magic Pass, not sure as I haven't used it for years, but I believe the general consensus is that so many people try to use it anyway that the spots are gone instantly and it's hard to use.
Whatever you do, don't go on a weekend. Go on a MONDAY morning right at opening time if you can. Weekends are insane and you'll wait 2 hours for even the simplest of rides.
