We buy tickets? What??

They might be using a different sense of "linked". If you have your ticket numbers (or a photocopy of the back) the ticket can be re-issued and the old one invalidated. This might have changed in the past few years, but as far as I know, UCT (or any broker) does not tell Disney what tickets are sold to whom when---and that's one of the reasons why you always hear how important it is to photocopy the backs, or write down the numbers. Without that, replacing them becomes a lot harder.

I had my family's tickets, is that what you mean? I did not have a photocopy of the lost one. They did say that UCT is one broker that they're happy to work with. Maybe that's why Mousesavers recommends them.

I was in Orlando mid April. One of the local news stations did a report on these ticket resellers. People selling were arrested. They also said that some kind of chemical was used on the ticket to erase signatures.

Interesting. Sounds like UCT is tied into Disney's ticketing systems now...

If official ticket sellers can be tied in then they could have some protection from losses if tickets got lost in the mail on the way to the customer.

Instead the "lost" tickets can be invalidated when replacements are sent to the customer who claimed he never got his tickets.

Purely out of curiosity, does anybody know how much these resellers usually charge for a 1, 2 or 3 day ticket? I have seen them of course, but it never entered my head to buy from them since I always had our tickets already and I would be too afraid that they were a scam anyway. For the record, I still have days left on my tickets from last time so I still don't need any, but I wondered if there was a big enough "value" in buying them resale to compensate for the risk. People must be saving a bundle to risk it.
