    • TICKET DELIVERY: We will send you official tickets in your name before your booked date. Be on the lookout for these tickets as you will need them to gain entry. ***Vouchers or receipts will not get you in. Show the official tickets that are sent to you with park service logo (recreation.gov).*** Disclaimer: This service is independently operated and not affiliated with the Washington Monument or the National Park Service. Our package, crafted for history enthusiasts, includes not only a comprehensive guide to the Washington Monument but also convenient access tickets. We do not sell tickets separately as they are part of a convenience package. Please note, while the National Park Service does not charge for these tickets, they do apply a $1 convenience fee, which we include in our convenience package. By choosing our service, you consent to allow us to handle the purchase and registration of tickets in your name, including managing card transactions on your behalf and creating accounts/e-mail aliases required for these purchases. When we mention "skipping the line," we refer to avoiding the early AM queue, either physically or online, required the day before your visit. We do that on your behalf. Upon arrival, a brief wait near the plaza benches is necessary to ensure organized entry and security checks, typically lasting only a few minutes. Although rare, the National Park Service may close the Washington Monument due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances; in such cases, tickets are non-refundable, but we will make every effort to reschedule your visit whenever possible.

    Paid for tickets for a $1

    Joanna_D, May 2026
    They texted me the tickets. I basically paid for the tickets that were claimed within minutes from the recreation.gov site. I was logged in when they were released and could not get them. These companies snap them up and then sell them to you at a profit. There is nothing else associated with the tour other than receiving the tickets. I wanted to do this so I paid it. Annoying cash grab.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We completely understand your frustration and appreciate your honesty. We are currently on standby to secure tickets for your reservation, especially since availability can disappear within minutes after release. Our service is designed to make the process easier and more convenient for guests who prefer to avoid the pressure, uncertainty, and wait times involved in securing tickets themselves. We also want to clarify that guests are always welcome to purchase tickets through any platform of their choice. We truly appreciate you giving us the opportunity to assist, and hope you still had a memorable experience overall.

    Scam tickets

    Constance_K, May 2026
    When we arrived at the monument, we were informed they do not honor tickets from this Company. The Parks attendant stated “ They always do this.”

    Response from Host, May 2026

    I’m really sorry this was your experience—that’s incredibly frustrating, especially after planning ahead and arriving ready for your visit. What the Parks attendant shared is concerning, and it’s not the experience we want any of our guests to have. We take this seriously and will be looking into what happened with your booking and the ticketing partner involved. In the meantime, we’re making sure your case is fully reviewed so we can make this right for you. Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we truly appreciate it, even though we wish it had been under better circumstances.

    These guys are effectively scalping tickets.

    Christopher_P, May 2026
    The park service sells the same ticket for $1. Unfortunately they disapear within a second of being released the day before. Only way to get up the monument was to pay these guys $25 for the same ticket. Looks like scalping to me. Someone is making a fortune here in a very dishonest way.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We're waiting on the line to be able to secure your tickets for your reservation. This is a reservation service for people who don't want to wait or stress. You're free to get the tickets from any platform you want.
