Ultimate and Premium tickets - reductions?

[Hilary]

As the Ultimate and Premium tickets are priced according to year of use, are they ever discounted towards the end of the year? We've always had hoppers or APs before, so I haven't noticed.

Have the UK sellers bought them in from Disney pre-dated, and might they, therefore, be selling off any surplus 2008 tickets they have in stock?

We need tickets for October and I'm wondering whether to spread the cost by buying some now, or waiting to see if there are any reductions.

Hilary I think that this depends on your viewpoint,mine is that Passes never expire by that I mean that they are valid from first use no matter when.Others believe that if you buy a 2008 pass it must be used in 2008.On other threads people have bought at this years prices knowing full well that they are not going till next year & have done so in the past.
I have seen some of the UK "dealers" do 7days for the price of 5 but never seen discounts as such & I have never seen anything direct from WDW so I would say that the simple answer is no they do not have a sale & IMO it's because a 2008 paas is the same as a 2009 pass until someone puts a date stamp on it!
Going off at a tangent,on the US thread US/IOA are doing a 2 park plus WnW for $79 & even if you buy it this year it will be valid for whenever,so why would WDW be any different?

Thanks, Shooby

I was hoping that maybe some sellers would have an end-of-season sale if the tickets were time-sensitive but, from what you say, this is probably not going to happen!
