I've never bought them in advance; not sure it was possible when I visited. But you can now - have to buy them two days in advance or more, it seems, otherwise you have to buy them when you arrive.

If you buy in advance you certainly can skip a long possible line. However, if you buy in advance and the weather isn't very good, you are stuck with a ticket. If you go early in the morning the lines won't be as long as later in the morning. Hope the weather is good. It is one of the most scenic parks I have ever seen. Enjoy.

I strongly endorse the recommendation to be there early, and avoid possible crowds. And enjoy! It's definitely worth seeing.

Thank you everyone, I think I’m going to buy them in advance and start as early as possible. Hopefully the crowds won’t be as bad in September.

It will be a disappointing experience if you get hung up with the day-tripping crowds, so be there when the park opens. When I visited the park in 2015, it was my impression that a lot of the visitors were Croatian, so I'm not sure a nice-weather day in September is going to make much difference. Perhaps mid-week vs. weekend would help a bit, but the best solution is to be at the park super-early.

I was able to purchase my tickets for our mid-May visit to Plitvice by using this website: https://ticketing.np-plitvicka-jezera.hr/ I didn't experience a problem.

I did get my tickets 250 kunas each. I enter the time for 7:00 am and after I paid it looks like they gave me tickets for 12:30 to 4:00 :( I tried to call them and also send emails and I’m getting no response. We would rather cancel this part if our trip than go at mid-day, so disappointed at the moment.

We went midweek in early October, 2017 - I didn't catch whether you're going early or late in September. There were no lines to buy tickets when we arrived at 11am. And although there were a lot of people throughout the park, it was not over-crowded in any one area throughout our visit. We could walk at our leisure, only occasionally finding ourselves amongst a group. By the time we left in the afternoon, we were in areas with few other visitors.
