Ticket Mania Ticket Quality

[brivers222]

If you buy your tickets online via "ticketmania.com" what is the quality of tickets you receive?

My DW was just at Disney Store and noticed that the tickets you can buy there are Credit Card form. Are those the same tickets you get when you buy at TM or do they have the reinforced paper tickets?

I wouldn't even minding spending the xtra $6 per ticket and buying the Credit Card style from Disney Store.

The tickets that you get from Ticketmania and all ticket wholesellers are the paper kind like you get at the parks.

Those tickets are really tough to harm (and if by some chance they ARE - they are easily replaced if you keep copies of the numbers on the back), but if it makes you feel better, spend the extra money.

Beth is right, the tickets are pretty good, you should save the $6. I've had 2 tickets with 1 day left on each of them for 3 years now and they still look brand new and they were originally 4-day plus passes so they have gone to the waterparks with me and back (of course I had them in the water wallet but still, they have lasted a long time). Got them from TM in 2 days after I ordered them online and they came with a slew of books that had all kinds of coupons and maps. They are definitely worth it. And they are tickets not vouchers.

I was worried about getting the coated-paper tickets from Ticketmania, but they've arrived and they seem really tough. I think it was worth it to save money (a bunch because the kind I purchased from TM aren't sold through Disneyworld.com). Also, the TM tickets have the Disney character designs on them (which is what I was realy hoping for), so that you can tell them apart and get in the Disney spirit!

We never got Disney ones through them, but we did get Universal/IOA. I asked about upgrading to APs and was told they wouldn't be worth much credit because they were deeply discounted bulk tickets. But there wasn't anything wrong with them, and I really enjoyed the savings.
