When VIP and combo tickets at OWO are worth the upgrade, and how to choose the best option for your schedule.

Worth It When…

  • Sunset slots and tight itineraries.
  • Weekend or holiday crowds.
  • You want the digital skyline guide for added context.

Not Necessary When…

  • Off‑peak weekday mornings with clear weather and flexible timing.

Value Math

  • Priority entry can save 20–40+ minutes at peak; if that time spans sunset, the upgrade pays for itself.

Rule of thumb: If queue uncertainty could cost you sunset, upgrade.
