Upgrading tickets purchased through brokers?

[Zoemakes5]

So, if you purchase tickets through a broker, say Ticket Mania or Undercover tourist, can you upgrade them? Add on non-expiry, hopper privileges? Extra days?
If so, what costs would there be? And how do they determine how much you paid for them?
Thanks!

you can do all those things.

As I understand it you get credit for the price the Broker paid which is encoded on the ticket. Basically your discount is gone, you don't get credit for the price you would have paid if you purchased from Disney.

I had that question as well...I already have tickets but I want to add a non-expiration date to them. Can I do this when I check-in? How much would it cost?

You will pay at least the published price when you add that feature after you get to Disney. Expiring day number seven costs about three dollars including tax. For a 10 day ticket non-expiration is about $140. including the tax. For any ticket adding hopping costs about $45.

Whether you also pay an added cost to "bring it up to gate price first" remains an unanswered question to this date which is at least a year and a half from when this question was first posed pertaining to Magic Your Way tickets. Some guests have reported there was no added cost, others have reported that there was. It seems like when the upgrade was done at a park, the chances of an added cost over published price of non-expiration were less compared with upgrading at a resort, and in either case it seems to be dependent on the mood of the CM behind the counter.

Some broker ticket offerings are promotional tickets with unusual combinations of days and water park visits and which cannot be upgraded.

Not the mood.... some just don't know how to do it. It's a process with several extra steps.

The CM's DO NOT sit behind the counter and say "Hmmm, im not going to help this person properly.."

I upgraded a ticket from Ticketmania from 8 days to 10 days and was only charged the difference between gate prices. They did not care that the ticket was purchased from a broker and did not charge me based on that. I have also seen a CM post here who does this all day and he confirmed a ticket purchased through a broker is not charged differently.
