What are the current cheapest options for WDW tickets?

[Nick6300]

Where are the current cheapest/best WDW tickets still available? We’re looking for 2x 6 day base. Park Savers has them for $938. Maple Leaf only has the uber expensive flex tickets. We checked and eliminated UT, GAT, Sams, Caterpillar employee ticketing. Haven’t checked AAA or wholesale/retailers like Costco. We think UT recently had a better deal for free 6th day vs PS. But not sure If we don’t buy now, for 9/3 start, that UT and others will be selling again by 8/3, presumably when Disney would contact us for reservation queue.

I don’t think that any of them are actually selling tickets. Disney has requested that all authorized 3rd party sellers freeze their ticket sales until Disney resumes selling tickets.

You can’t buy tickets right now.

Do you think there is going to be price gauging from those who bought tickets already?

 

[Nick6300]

So the tickets on parksavers won’t let you check out all the way then? It certainly looked like you could buy them, but I didn’t go to the final checkout.

We have some tickets but not ones we want to use since they have NBA and water park admissions. But I guess if we have to, we would, instead of canceling.

Do you mean people who have tickets selling them to those who want them for more than the cost of the ticket? That would be ticket scalping, and it’s illegal.

Boardwalk Ticketing (which is also Parksavers) actually let me “purchase” tickets for a May trip back in April when everyone knew the parks would be closed. The next day, I got an email from them letting me know that they couldn’t sell me the tickets and my credit card had not been charged.

But go ahead and give them a try if you’re feeling adventurous.

I don’t think it’s even illegal in Florida, and people sell in demand tickets for a lot more than face value all of the time (I’m thinking about people with season giants tickets). Laws are in place to prevent third party sellers buying up all of the tickets to sell for profit. I think it will be like items private sellers are jacking up the price on now, pools, trampolines, Lysol, dumbbells...

Ticket scalping is not illegal in most places, usually only not allowed within a certain distance from a venue.

I would think the third party vendor agreements with Disney prohibit price gouging.

I’m talking about folks who bought tickets before this, and want to sell them. I’m guessing law enforcement has better things to do than harass joe smith who is selling his 4 day park hoppers at at $300 profit.

 

[only hope]

Florida state law only prohibits reselling tickets from a non-profit above face value. Those can be resold only $1 above value I think. This means tickets to Hamilton at your local non-profit theater can't be scalped...but when Elton John comes to perform at the amphitheater, you'd better be online the second those tickets go on sale.

The best deal i have found... once they resume of course... is buying discounted giftcards then buying directly ftom Disney. I buy mine at samsclub.com but if you check out the thread about giftcards you will find more deals.
Sometimes the prices are similar as 3rd party vendors but its worth buying from Disney.
We just went to Disney in March and because i bought from them it was really easy to get refunds and credits for unused days.

Thanks. I buy my gcs from Sams too. I never bothered to get a red card for the extra 1% off 5 vs 4% at Sams. My main concern right now is getting tickets loaded Into mde before my trip. Sounds like I can either see if the PS or Boardwalk Ticketing passes can be had or wait a couple of Months and hope disney sells again

If you get the Bank Of America Cash Rewards card, it has 2% off grocery and wholesale clubs (SAMs). If you happen to have platinum honors, By carrying your savings with them, it bumps up to 3.5%. So the 3.5% plus the approx 4% on the best disney gift cards at Sams (typically the $50), gets you more than if you were to only use the Target red card 5%. There’s other stackable deals, but this is available every day.
