I wish I could live in AGO! Buy the annual pass if you live in Toronto

It was so great that if I lived in Toronto, I would have bought the annual pass to go there every single weekend, gaze at one piece of art for a full day, and come back next week for another one. If you are artsy, I highly recommend you plan at least half a day there. I went there 12 to 6, and my friends dragged me out of the gallery for dinner but I went back after dinner cause there was still a few rooms that I needed to explore. Next time, I plan to be there for a full day to be able to enjoy more guided tours, as you'll learn/enjoy much more when an expert explains tells the story behind the art.

I bought tickets to the AGO just prior to entry. I did receive a confirmation email and reference number. Upon entry to the AGO, they did not recognize your confirmation. Further, your email said i should receive the Q-pass within 48 hours. I bought the tix for immediate entry so your service was completely useless. Fortunately, the AGO was very accommodating and granted us entry even though we had no tickets delivered through your site. I must be sure to avoid your service going forward.
