I want to go, but my mom isn't interested. She says it's to expensive, and she says it isn't worth it. Do you know where I can get good tickeds for a price less that 25 bucks? Not 23 either.

I have been four times and a word of advice - GO AT NIGHT. It may seem a strange thing to say, but it is amazing.
If you want to see the best of London during the day, take the river boat excursion. TRUST ME. You will get to see cool stuff like the Meridien line and clock at Greenwich and the wetlands bird sanctuary at Barnes in addition to the regular sites. Remember, London was built around the Thames and because there is no commercial boat traffic on the river anymore, you will feel like you have the whole river to yourself.
You can get a slight discount on the Eye if you book in advance over the internet, but unless you're going as part of a group of 10 or more people, you won't get much of a break. Do it, and do it quick, as it's still not a permanent feature of the London landscape. It was designed to be temporary and is only still there due to popular demand.

I was on the London Eye and I really enjoyed it. The views are amazing and, even though you're in an enclosed bubble, I didn't feel claustrophobic at all. It's a wonderfully smooth ride.
As for tickets, there really is no way to get them much cheaper than asking price. If you order them online from the website I have listed below you get 10% off. I think that's the best deal you're going to find. But, I don't think $25 is all that much to begin with. It's a nice long ride on the London Eye and you get to see for miles. If you order the tickets online you won't have to wait in line to buy them there too, which can be a hassle.
You should also be wary of websites or people selling tickets for a lot cheaper than regular price. They could very well be cheating you out of your money. If it sounds like it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I don't know if this might help, but you can show her some great panorama of London Eye from video entitled 'Back Here' from BBMAK
