Linking park tickets purchased online with someone else's reservation

[MadisonK]

My apologies if this is a rudimentary question, is addressed elsewhere or is out of the scope of this thread. I've searched around the internet trying to find an answer to my questions, but a lot of the results aren't relevant and are pretty old.

Is it possible to link tickets purchased online with a reservation without having the tickets in hand? I'm handling travel planning for a trip in September with folks from across the US and UK. I don't want to buy $2000 worth of tickets on my own if I can avoid it, so I was hoping it'd be possible for them to buy their tickets online and forward me enough information to link them to the room reservations that are all in my name. It'd be great if we could do this without having to send tickets through the mail.

Has anyone had any experience doing this? All of the examples I've found are done with tickets in hand so I'm not too optimistic. Maybe it's time to open a credit card that earns airline miles.

Thanks! ...and sorry for asking another exciting MDE question.

MDE online allows you to "invite" a friend to plan with you. My sis and I are AP holders and we can set FPs for each other without any issues.

We've done this.

Anybody can link a ticket to anybody that is in their "My Family and Friends". (We link everybody up so each person can make changes for everybody else. This way any/each one person can make FP+ selections for all, make changes on the fly, and add your 4th or more FP+ selections.)

Once they are on your list, you can "link tickets" with the ticket number and assign each ticket to anyone on your list. All you need is the confirmation number from the e-mail, nobody has to have the ticket in hand.
