Tickets on Ebay

[Toyztory]

Are buying park hopper tickets reliable, Don't they have a name already on them ? Any help appreciatted and links. Tia

The tickets are suppose to have the finger scan linked to them if they have been used so I would imagine that you would have problems trying to use them.

Buying anything on eBay carries some amount of risk. There are ticket sellers on eBay with lots of positive feedback and many satisfied customers. However, I don't think that their prices are any better than the prices that are charged by the well-known ticketbrokers that are recommended by wdwinfo.com, allearsnet.com and mousesavers.com. There was actually a thread last year started by a DISer who had purchased tickets on eBay from a well-know eBay ticket seller with very good feedback. The DISer did not get her tickets, the seller disappeared from eBay and the buyer had to spend more money to get tickets for her trip. I don't know if she ever got a refund of her eBay money.

Since there is no way to tell how many days are on a ticket until you get to WDW, buying from lesser-known sources is very risky. There are reports of people getting to the gates only to learn that the tickets they hold are not valid. What a lousy way to start a vacation!

The sale of partially-used ticket media is illegal on eBay. And now that Disney's tickets are linked via biometric scan to the original user, buying partially-used tickets is just no a good thing to try.

I highly recommend checking out other places to purchase your tickets and then comparing their prices.

It is not wise to purchase tickets from private parties. Yes the other party can give (can gift) the ticket to you and after your vacation goes well you pay (or tip) him.

On eBay that is known as ship first pay later, but never (What, never? Well, hardly ever) happens.

I wouldn't. I'd hate to arrive at Disney to find out the tickets I spent good money on don't have any days left...

Thus, costing you more money and wasting time that could have been spent in a park.

We bought 2 day hopper tickets on ebay this past spring for our summer trip. I checked out the feedback, etc and they had great ratings. I got them for a price that was comparable to what Disney wanted for regular 2 day passes without the hopper. Of course, I could have probably gotten the same deal from one of the recommended agents above, but I was very clueless to Disney at the point I bought them...and I still am compared to most of y'all seasoned vets!
