Size of Printed eTicket...

[Jenlee]

Stupid question, I know...but my eTicket is the size of a full letter page. Do I cut it out and only take the "Turnstile ready" portion of the page with me?

Thanks,
Jennie

The e-ticket it intended to be used as one complete piece of paper. When I first visited after they developed the new e-tickets, I questioned the logic of having to carry a piece of paper for seven days. This was before I learned to print off multiple copies before I left home. The park's representative told me I only needed the bar code/ticket number and the visitor's name to be intact. What I've done is fold my e-ticket so that the bar code is visible and place it in a small zip-loc bag...the snack sized ones. I can keep the ticket dry and safe, and I can scan the bar code through the bag. I've never had to open the bag. In subsequent visits I've printed multiple copies just to be safe, also.

As an editorial note, I think it's silly that they expect you to use a paper ticket for a seven (or in some cases 14) day visit. Before last year they would let you trade your e-ticket for a very thin plastic card that could be easily caried in a wallet. You could even do this at the computer kiosks outside the park, so no employee was needed. When I first questioned this at Busch Gardens, the representative said I couldn't get a card any more, and that I had to use only the paper ticket. When I gently pushed for a card, she said "Mr. Busch believe in saving the environment, so we can't give out cards anymore." I thought that was a dumb excuse. I should have asked her how it fits into "Mr. Busch's plan" to sell muli-thousands of kids meals in industrial strength plastic boxes. I hate when companies give bogus excuses and think customers are stupid enough to be so easily placated. End of editorial.

I've always traded E-tickets in for the wallet sized card type once in the park.

^Perhaps policies have changed since my visit. I'm glad you were able to exchange your paper e-ticket for a more convenient card. I did not have such luck with my recent 7-day two park pass, although I was able to on past visits.

I've been researching the entire thread and I don't see any information if the eTicket have the name of the person who purchased it online. Does the eTicket have a name printed on it?

I also read that it's no longer exchanging the paper eTicket to a normal or plastic ticket. What about the Fastpass then? It's been a long time since I was at Disneyland but Fastpass is really cool and I remember that you have to insert your Disneyland ticket into the machine to get the Fastpass.

I'll appreciate any response. Thanks.

The e-tickets each have the individual's name on them.

I didn't see any "fastpass" type kisks at SW. When we checked in at the turnstiles they just scanned the barcode on the e-ticket and we were sent into the park.

I just called Disneyland Ticket number and I was told that eTicket do not have names on it. She also suggested my friend can enter my email address instead of his so no forwarding of email necessary. It looks like Disneyland checks the Billing Address used when the ticket is purchased online. The Ship To address for the actual ticket can be anywhere in US as long as the Bill To of the credit card is from SoCAL. Thanks.

Hmmm... pretty sure the OP was talking about Seaworld.
