How can I check a ticket for expiration date?

We all wonder about the finger scans! This is unrelated to Disney, but I once bought a SeaWorld ticket at the gate, tried to enter, and my finger would not scan. The attendant smiled and asked me, "Did you bring the right finger today?" He let me in since I had just purchased the ticket. .

You know, I've always wondered - say you put the ticket in, and you're rejected because it's not "your scan" of your fingertip. What's to stop you from saying "look, this is my ticket" and insisting they let you in? Couldn't their machine have made a mistake, or just be having trouble scanning your finger on a certain day? Just thought maybe this could happen and the ticket really WAS yours; could they really say for sure that they didn't make a mistake, and keep you out of the park?

I had this problem at DisneyQuest a few years ago. When I put my finger in, it was rejecting it. They sent me to Guest Services who looked up all the ticket info, checked my ID and called DQ to let them know it was my ticket. It never happened anywhere else that trip, so I don't know what was wrong at DQ.

I found someone on Craigslist selling a 6 day park hopper with waterpark ticket and they're willing to sell it to me ...

Would he sell it to you on credit? If not then you are wise to run away, far away.

... there are lots of tickets sold on Ebay everyday and I rarely see a complaint on there.

I have read numerous stories about eBay and PayPal problems. It typically resolves one of three ways:
1. PayPal is able to charge back the seller and you get your refund.
2. PayPal is unable to charge back the seller and you do not get a refund.
3. You succeed in disputing the charge with PayPal via your credit card and your eBay and PayPal accounts are promptly cancelled.

... were they going to sell you their right index finger too for $200???
