    Tickets on 192.

    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 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.
