Taj Mahal-Ticket pricing

Two tickets are issued to visit some of Agra's main sights: the Agra Development Association (ADA) ticket(toll tax) is valid for the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daula, Akbar's Mausoleum(Sikandra) and Fatehpur Sikri for one day, so its a good idea to hang on to it. The separate Archeaological Survey of India (ASI) ticket must be purchased for each of these sights. Both these tickets are only available from the sites themselves.
