Was able to get the reserved admission ticket through an e-mail after booking through here. I received a QR code with my name and passport number. I booked for the entry ticket on 6th March, received an e-mail on 7th March (stating I needed to use my passport as my ticket into Forbidden city) for entry on 11th March. I was able to get into the Forbidden city with no issues whatsoever. Great service based on the above description.
Highly recommend
