Disneyland Tickets Still Useable?

[MaterializedHaunt]

So I have a few tickets that I possibly heard might still be useable that are from the 1960s. This is before Disneyland introduced the booklets of A-E Tickets??? Im not sure. But any help would be much appreciated! Never been to Disneyland but this might change things!

As I recall, there were ticket booths here and there in the park - you got your book of tickets, then you could buy More tickets (for individual classes of rides, like A tickets) inside the park.

So not sure if there were books of tickets available as well at that time - too young to recall exactly... my parents never would buy additional tickets, lol - they thought it was all VERY expensive.

Not sure what you would use them for, as individual rides no longer require tickets or additional money.

Wow, how much would those sell for on Ebay?

I know ticket books were being used in 1955. However, if you ran out of tickets from your ticket book, you could buy additional tickets inside the park at ticket booths. This is where I believe these tickets are from. I'd would check out vintagedisneylandtickets.com to see if you could find out any info there.

I think the best you can do is apply the face value towards a new ticket, according to http://www.mousesavers.com/dltickets.html

The time required to do so is probably not worth the $0.50 saving. -- Suzanne

In my experience, you can use these towards park tickets.

We had a ton of A, B, & C tickets left over from the 60's and 70's (my mom never threw them away). They were worth the face value of the ticket, and so I was able to use them towards entry to the park. I was able to get in 5 times for free using these tickets (that was before DCA opened up).

That is so cool!

You might get more from them from collectors than exchanging them for park entrance. It would be worth it to look into it.

id sale all but one to collectors then put the last one in a book to save it. use the money made from collectors and buy tickets to get in (maybe a ap lol)

These are not admission tickets and the A-E ticket books started from the day the park open and were used until the late 70s or early 80s.

The tickets that you have are actually additional tickets that someone would have purchased after entering the parks once they ran out of A tickets.

These are the lowest level of tickets that they offered.

Disney will give you the face value of the tickets towards upgrading to an admission ticket. They might have a higher value that they apply, but don't count on it.

You will find they will sell on ebay for somewhere around $1 each. These really don't have the collectible value that most people think they do.

Right. Those tickets won't be worth much on the open market. However, I still have a handful of unused mint condition complimentary CM tickets from the late 80's and early 90's. I know I could always use them for admission, but I think they're definitely worth more on the open market. However, I don't want to part with them.

Given the price of admission these days, I would say they are far more valuable as an admission ticket.

In all honesty, on the open market, they will generally get you about $5 each, maybe up to $10 for the rarest tickets.

Kind of funny, considering that they can be used for admission still.
