i dont know any place to get tickets, but i went there last year, and i would highly reccomend spending more time at beaver creek. Vail is way too crowded, and you feel like u are spending all your time on the mountain just trying to get to where you want. Beaver creek has better runs, it is more open and much easier accessible, and its less crowded.
