AVOID Acropolis Tickets!

After getting off the flight in Athens the morning of the day we wanted to see the Acropolis, I found the website and never realised we were about to pay more for a visit than if we just went to the ticket booth at the Acropolis. But that was the least of the issues though. We had been careful in deciding when we booked the time as we were still at the airport, so we selected an afternoon time of 4pm to ensure we could make it. The tickets came via email and we then made our way to the hotel to drop-off luggage and make our way up. Not long before before we were about to enter, we noticed the time on the tickets were incorrect. The entry time they had sent us was 1pm. Staff at the Acropolis were extremely unhelpful and didn't want anything to do with the issue after denying entry to us. There was a number on the ticket which we tried to call but it always went unanswered after multiple attempts. The only option was to email. After detailing our issue, and noting the tickets were never used, they asked what phone number we used as they said they don't have a number to call. I started worrying we've just been scammed. Multiple emails were sent, and it was very clear from the first response that they had no intention of investigating the issue or even solving the problem. I would avoid dealing with Acropolis Tickets and just buy at the entry gate. They have no association with the Acropolis and over charge by 50% (which we found out when we got there unfortunately). AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
