as a general guide the price tickets are absolutely meaningless and are purely there for the tourists, if your paying more than 30% of a ticket price your probably getting screwed. if you get to a point where they refuse to sell to you and wont follow you out the shop you really do know youre below the"best price" and a little above that will secure whatever it is.

oh and cara is a good place to go, know what you want, what your budget is and what the days diamond and gold prices are and argue hard
