[swich2mac]

Does anyone have any unused 6-day park hopper passes for sale?

Best,

Tickets should not be bought from private third parties including via eBay.

If the person wishing to get rid of the ticket is willing to give it as a gift and expect a tip later, then the process is acceptable.

In addition, tickets not bought in person from well known official ticket outlets should only be bought using credit cards.

I believe that Disney has millions of them. Unused and ready to sell.

Oh really??? I guess that I wasn't as smart as you to figure that one out, eh?

What other answer did you expect?

Perhaps people are just confused as to why you'd want to purchase from a total stranger -- particularly since you can't tell by looking at the ticket whether it's unused or not -- when you could just buy from Disney. If someone has an unused 6-day pass, it is good pretty much forever. Why would they sell it? And even if they did sell it to you, you'd likely pay exactly the same amount for it as you would pay Disney. Because why would someone give you a deal on an unused pass?

I suppose you might find someone out there who bought an extra 6-day pass by mistake and has no plans to ever go to WDW again, and has no friend or family member they'd ever give it to as a gift one day, and so they need to get rid of it fast and they're willing to sell it at a loss, but that kind of seems unlikely. But even if you did get it for less than Disney would sell it for, you still have no way to check on it's validity before you pay for it.

Color me confused.

I understand completely. However, I have spoken to a few individuals who purchased their tickets in advance, albeit AAA, undercovertourist.com, etc. and have had emergencies and/or unexpected financial issues to deal with that have prohibited them from taking the trip. I assume that most all of you have purchased various items online via eBay, Craigslist, etc. which is conducting business with individuals that you don't even know. I realize there are more protective measures in place to prevent fraud but everything has a risk/reward variable associated with it.

I also understand that the non-expiry tickets are good for them to hold on to for the future, but in desperate times come desperate measures, meaning that they need the money and have a tangible item that they can sell at a discounted rate rather quickly. Am I making any sense?

I came here to ask a simple question and all that I have received thus far are sarcastic comments, and justifications on why not to purchase Disney tickets over the internet. Having been a DVC member for a couple of years, an eBay buyer/seller since 1996 (Yes, 1996), I seemed to have done an exceptional job of educating myself with regards to the "in's & out's" of online transactions. Please, let's just try to keep the replies "on topic". I don't need advise on how I should spend my money. One of which is an informative and intelligent decision that only I can make.

Best,
Scott

Since what you're asking is against disboards policy, I doubt you'll get a lot of help.

I was going to respond directly to that, but, you know what? I hope you find one and have a great time.

Well you are asking for unused tix, expiring or non expiring, doesnt matter. If they are unused, they never expire until first use. And if they've been used, even unexpiring, you couldnt use them anyway.

Your question was for unused 6 day hoppers, people have given you answers, albeit not the one you wanted to hear. ie: disney has lots. But you have to admit, it's the truth, they havent misled you in anyway.

I'm just curious...why not buy your passes through an acceptable source?? Are you hoping to get a discount on them? I would try either Mapleleaf or Undercovertourist...both excellent companies with slightly cheaper prices than Disney.
Otherwise, I would be very leery of buying from a stranger. I would love to think that everyone out there is honest. But, we all know that isn't the case. I would hate for someone to buy a 'cheap' pass only to find that it has been used already. And there is just no way to know in advance if that pass is new or used.

Not really ... once USED, tickets are non-transferable. I can purchase a 10-day pass with no expiration and give it to my best friend for Christmas as long as I haven't activated it.

Disney's official policy is that tickets are non-transferrable.

Just a word of caution to those who are considering buying tickets from an unofficial source, especially one you don't know. People could very well sell you an inactive ticket, and you could lose your money. Your best bet is always to buy tickets directly through Disney or an authorized ticket seller.

With that this thread is now closed, as the DIS does not encourage people to try to get around Disney's rules.
