Hey all just a quick question, i remember friends of ours buying their park tickets from a woman in a shop on the 192 the tickets she sold were unused non expiry ones that she had got from ppl.
Does anyone know this person and weather she is worth using, i usually buy before i go, only i remember our friends saying she was much cheaper!
Thanks
Katie
I would recommend always buying your tickets from a reputable source (eg. the ticket link above).
Why waste money on something that may or may not get you into a park. It's not worth the disappointment.
I am presuming these were second hand tickets. Tickets now need a finger scan to enter the park. If the scan fails security may well ask you the dates and which park the tickets were last used with. Most tickets now have the original users name in the magenetic strip and you will need to prived photo ID to match.
If you want genuine no discounted tickets use us!!! It is illegal to resell tickets, and you have no idea what is left on the tickets you are buying.<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:Originally posted by Doll123

Hi Katie, definately buy from an authorised seller ie the above link and I would also buy before my holiday so that I had the tickets already when I arrive in Florida and can get to the theme parks without spending time finding a seller on my first day there!
I would buy real tickets...not worth the trouble..
I have been using my husbands horror ticket without noticing I had the wrong ticket and having a finger scan and no-one said anything..
The same happens with my yearly pass...where I was my daughter...I really need new glasses....lol
I think you will probably find that all the ticket touts operating out of booths on the 192 are no more. There was a clampdown last year and all the illegal operators (ie most of them selling these second hand tickets) were shut down by local police in conjunction with Disney. Disney went to town on them and got most of them shut down. If you see an odd one operating then they are on shaky ground. I know all this as I have a very good friend who works for Disney security.
Dont even think about buying from these booths. You will lose out. Buy from the authorised, legal, licensed agents (use the link on this site) and then you wont have to worry. Gill
Definitely don't buy from an unauthorised seller as more than likely you will be disappointed and lose money. We have seen people turned away when their tickets don't scan.
There was a ticket place outside a restaurant advertising they will buy your unused tickets even if they were on not non-expiry. Can't remember the exact wording but I did point it out to my DH and we couldn't work out how it would work for them selling them on. Be very careful. Best thing to do is buy from the link here, best prices around and you know you will have tickets that are legit.
I can't understand how these would work now. I used them many years ago both to buy and sell tickets. Fortunately we didn't have a problem, but now with fingerprinting etc I can't see how using someone else's unused tickets could possibly work. Not worth the risk. I believe you can still get cheap tickets if you're prepared to sit through a time share presentation, but rather you than me.
Never understand way folks do this, spend half day of their expensive hard earned vacation time to get 2 one day tickets at a reduced rate! If you add up the wasted time those tickets work out very expensive.

Its not really finger printing...it takes 4 points or so of the size of your finger....and it is held for 30 days after it used...
If they are unsure they ask for a picture ID....that you have signed...and they you have to sign at the gate...
Just so people know..you don't have to have it done...you can just show picture ID...
On our honeymoon in 1995 we went to a timeshare presentation for our tickets. Hubby was smart and over inflated our income so that we were called through almost immediately (annoyed one family with 5 kids no end). I thought that we would get through really quickly then say 'thanks but no thanks' and off to the park we would go. Hubby had different ideas: he thought that it would be fun to wind up the sales guy. We spoke to the sales guy, his supervisor and finally his boss, all for us to say 'no'. Why couldn't we have done this hours earlier?[zzz]
What a waste of valuable holiday time[msnwink]

Last time we tried to get in using our Disney passes (having used them a year previously), it wouldn't let my son in. The chap at the gate said 'are you sure its your ticket' at which point we realised it was my husbands, they swapped and both got in OK so the answer is yes, they DO store the data!

Don't sound very smart to me, just sounds like a waste of time![msnwink]
FWIW (and I have absolutely no personal interest in this) but I never buy any ticket for anything from anything other than an authorised outlet - this includes park tickets, concert tickets anything!!!
I can't imagine how disappointed (and humiliated) I would be if for any reason I was declined entry to the event or in this case one of the parks.
Even back in 1992 on our first visit to Orlando we avoided the ticket touts in booths (after all that is all they are) - they just smacked of taking a risk and to me it just wasn't worth taking.
