Tickets from ebay?

[awatt]

Has anyon ever gotten park tickets or meal vouchers from ebay and would you recommend it?

 

[GAIL HAYDEN]

NO, never passes
NO, never food vouchers
NO, I would never recommend it.

There is no way to tell if they valid without going to a park to check them out. Disney used to have a number to call, but, I strongly suspect they stopped this because of the increase in sales of passes on EBAY.

Ditto what Gail said.

I would not take my chances.

You can get the meal vouchers on your own through Connections and pay less. I would never buy WDW tickets through eBay, especially after reading the horror story posted not too long ago on these boards.

DITTO! It isn't worth the risk. Plus semi-used park tickets are non-transferable.

HI I have bought tickets on ebay before but have only purchased from people with good feedback. Never had any problems, knock on wood!

Always check a person's feedback to stay on the safeside with any purchase from E-bay. You will be forced to pay far too much for them than you need to if you purchase this way. The Q&C's are only $11.00 each if you purchase them from Connections with the $1.00, one month trial membership.
I recently learned that the vouchers for sale on e-bay are actually not legal. In the future they may ask to see the Connections membership card of those who are redeeming them in restaurants. Currentlly these vouchers are only available legitamately from Connections and Simple Escapes (same parent company). They have an exclusive contract with Disney to sell these items.

I don't think they'll be asking to see your Connections membership card since you could easily not be a member any more by the time you use your vouchers. BTW, despite what some may say once you OWN something you may legally sell it to anyone you wish. It may be against Connections rules, but it is not illegal no matter what they may threaten.

I really don't see how they can do this, since:

A) They don't send out membership cards to a good 50% of their members; and

B) Even if you cancel your membership, the vouchers you previously bought are still valid.

There was thread over on the CB several months ago where a woman was ripped off by buying "used" tickets on ebay. She was no a very tight buget and it really ruined her trip. I wish I had the link! My advice is NO!!!!
