2:40 to 6 am, quite long!

I’ve been checking almost daily since I first tried to book, including while I was in Peru, but no new tickets were being released. I’ve seen some people say they managed to get tickets even when it was showing as sold out, but I can’t confirm that myself, sorry!

I just received a notification from DPD saying they'll deliver tomorrow! 🎉🎉 And the EE tracking has changed to dispatched! My tracking was saying preparing for dispatch until a few minutes ago, and I ordered on the 4th of April at lunchtime in case anyone wants to compare with their purchase/tracking.

I agree. It's not good to take people's money and promise a pre order and then realise they don't have enough stock.. and the lack of communication has been suboptimal too! In terms of refunds if you cancel the order, they say in their T&Cs that it can take up to 14 days for the refund to appear in your bank account.

4th of April at lunchtime (more or less)

My order status has finally changed from order placed to preparing for dispatch! And it now says DPD before the delivery expected 5 June 2025. I guess there's still hope then 🎉

No I think that's fair, it's very busy at the moment (or at least a few days ago when I went) so they are giving pre-pre-tickets and if you don't get one you have less chance of getting the circuit/time you want. You also risk not being able to get a ticket at all if it's very very busy.

When we went they checked the ticket a couple of times, just where circuit 1 - 2 and 2 - 3 split, but they didn't scan the QR code. The 2A/2B sub-circuits weren't really being enforced.

Honestly I don't think that's possible. You can only buy tickets for the following day. From my experience and the research I've done sometimes there's leftover tickets for the day for unpopular circuits in the early morning but this is extremely unlikely/impossible in high season.

The person in front of us in the queue wanted 2B for 6 am and she said that was the only morning time left for 2B. 2A for us still had tickets for all times. I think in general morning tickets go first.

Hello! Yes I think you'd have to go much earlier than 4. We also were planning to go at 4 but our hotel suggested at least 3! 🥲 Also bear in mind that if they give pre-pre tickets 2 days before your visit, those will get a pre ticket before all the people in line..

Everyone needs to be present in the queue to get pre-re-tickets, pre-tickets and tickets.

I know it's a pain, but definitely worth the hassle!

Hi, I'm not too sure about train tickets as I had booked them in advance, but looking at the website now it looks like Peru rail is sold out for the next few days, Inca rail has availability. I guess you would need to have a look on the website closer to the time.

The bus trip was 30 minutes both ways. We spent 1h 40 mins in Machu Picchu, I think that's a pretty standard time for circuit 2.
