Buying discount ticket codes from Ebay

[Scrock]

I see quite a few Ebay listings for discount tickets that can be used after 2pm until close. If anyone is familiar with how these work please let me know. Has anyone ever used one of these codes? I will try to post the link.

Run away, run very far away. This screams "scam" to me.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing but wasn't sure because of all the positive feedback from those who bought them.

Looks like a coupon code that you have to redeem on the Universal Web site -- so you should be able to find out pretty quick if it works.

I'm with mesa, tho -- I wouldn't touch it myself.

seems pretty legit with the positive feedback and minimal risk at 3.99/4.99 . . . though it says can only be used after 2 p.m. which is interesting.

The fact that no residency is needed probably is enough for me to roll the dice as that is a big discount . . . but I would expect the worst with this.

Has anyone had any luck with coupons?

I would not do this. Until a few months ago, there was an after 2 ticket to purchase by the public. That has been discontinued. There are some available that can only be purchased via a conference and not through the parks.

Sounds like maybe the coupon codes he's selling are "leftover" codes that were intended for conference-goers.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I just Googled it and came up with the direct link HERE.

Even with that link, those are still conference tickets. I wouldn't bank on being able to use them as those were discontinued for the general public. If you can't get to that link through the main universalorlando.com site, I wouldn't chance it.

All this sounds just like when they were trying to sell universal tickets that had already been used once or twice and were telling people they were still good.
I don't trust any Ebay tickets or codes and I say look the other way when it comes to these so called deals

I agree. I understand people want to save money on tickets which is fine but buying a ticket on Ebay just doesn't make sense. There are too many unknowns involved and if someone does buy a ticket and gets to the gate and its no good...they are out a lot of money. I just don't think its worth taking a chance on.

I agree metro cause I would rather buy a ticket from a reliable source than to take a chance on what might be a dirt cheap ticket or codes from a too good to be true site
