Yes you must buy tickets online but you have the full day to attend
We bought the pass online and we bypassed cars who had to pay before entering.
Due to covid they are only taking cards.
You can pay in person but only by card. They won't let you use cash.
They didn't even scan our pass.. but we bought online
You can buy online and with card in person I believe.
You must pay online. No touch entry due to Covid 19. Its easy to pay online. When you get there they post the web sub site and its secure.
You can buy them there
I am not totally sure but I went to the Christmas lights there a few weeks back and you had to pay online only and only.
