We are going to the Vikings game in London on Sunday, October 5, flying into Luton in the morning. Should we buy tickets for the Dart to St Pancras station ahead of time or just get them when we arrive. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Appears the DART just travels between the airport and Luton Parkway.

Yes, the DART is just the transit link from the airport down to the main line railway station.
You can buy online a flexible super off peak rail ticket which covers both DART and the main line train, to save a bit of time (booking from Luton Airport, as opposed to Luton Airport Parkway) or just buy on arrival.
The cost is £19.30- same price as £4.90 for DART and £14.40 for the train.
There are cheap Advance Train specific tickets but please don't buy those as you are then hostage to your flight being on time.
Note if you pay by contactless for your train ticket it will cost you £12.30, as opposed to £14.40
