Although these are not timeshare, they are remaining days from other customers tickets who have finished their vacation with days left. Not only is this not allowed, it is very risky. You will be asked to provide a finger print on entry to the park and if it doesn't match the original ticket holders, you will be asked to give details of your previous visits to see if it matches their records. Other than a lot of embarrasement at the gate you could lose the ticket then still have to pay full price to get in.

Also, the people selling these tickets do not really know if there are any remaining days left on the tickets, so they are relying on the guests that have sold them the ticket to tell the truth. You could in fact be buying park days that do not exist.

It does seem to be a big risk to be taking. It would be awful to arrive at the park and be stopped from going in, and I guess you would have trouble finding these guys again! [msnwink]

On the local news there are now often reports showing how authorities are gradually weeding them out, which is good news. I know we have a vested interest in stopping these underhand ticket sales, but apart from that, there have been so many innocent Florida visitors getting caught out that it's about time they put an end to it.

Obviously quite a few customers do get through the gate OK but there are many more that don't. It's not just the embarrasement factor, but the loss of the money paid to these companies when the tickets are confiscated at the gate, then having to pay full price for new tickets.

I'd rather pay more (and we buy before we go) and know all is ok

[DisneyPrincess]

Agreed Sammibabe, its the peace of mind and knowing you have genuine tickets.

Entrance to parks was tighter than ever before on our last visit with fingerprint scanners and the like, i personally dont think its worth the risk. besides from which, its putting money in the pockets of these ticket scammers.

I bet they'd soon disappear if there were any problems getting in at the gate

I agree with the above, not worth the risk. Buying from this site is by far the best option for me. I know I am getting official tickets.

I don't disagree with your point Roger but it is fairly easy for them to check the remaining days on the tickets.
