Ticket off Ebay and Expiration?

[akashellrae]

Hi, my sister in law just bought a 5 day hopper ticket off ebay, and it is being mailed to her. The listing said new and unused but the ticket has to be used between September 17th and 30th. I don't understand why it has to be used in this time frame, so I'm a little worried for her. Does anyone have a reason? Thanks.

Maybe it is a convention ticket?

No matter what it says, don't get it. I realize she has probably already paid for it, but if she can get out of it, try to. These kind of things you should never trust off an online auction site....or anywhere for that matter.

She already bought it, about a $50 discount from gate prices. She feels if it dosen't work, she is protected through Ebay and can get her money back.

But it will take her time to get her money back from eBay, it won't be immediate. I hope she will be able to purchase a new ticket at the gate without having that money at hand. I hope she didn't get scammed......

What she said.

Is it really worth getting rejected at the gate? With the questionable legality of buying park tickets off of ebay, I would recommend getting her money back ASAP

I'm going to go ahead and close this.

Disney does not sanction selling of their ticket media on eBay, so we do not allow these discussions on the DIS.
