So, I just realized that depending on what country you're from, the prices of park tickets change. (I found this by looking at prices for France, UK, and US and using the magic of Google conversion calculators)
Anyone know why this is?
If I bought UK priced tickets and printed them out at home (I live in the US) would I be able to get away with it?
If I bought at the gate, would they be France-priced?

At a guess, differing levels of tax depending on where you purchase them. Other than that I can't think of a reason off the top of my head.
The tickets as you enter are read as they are at the US parks, by machine. The machine doesn't know where you're from, so I see no reason why you can't buy tickets anywhere and use them to gain entry. Just be aware that if you do this, you may end up paying extra due to commission taken during the conversion of your currency...
Tickets at the gate will be the FR prices, in Euros most likely.
I'm not sure how printing tickets at home works, since I've only ever had tickets for DLRP through booking hotel+park packages, in which case you get your tickets when you check in. At a guess, you print a reservation sheet and swap it for your tickets when you get there, but I'm not sure.
