What do you do with 'spare' tickets?!

[missiemouse]

Hello!
Going to DLP next month with my whole family. We have got APs from promoparcs but we have 3 spare children's tickets as we only need 2 and I ordered 5 adult passes. Also I registered for a free birthday ticket as it's my mum's birthday while we're there.

Is there anything I can do with the spare tickets? I know someone else can't validate the APs on another date but am I right in thinking they would give access to the park for one day? Wondering if my friend could use them as day passes for her children later this month?

If not can we use the APs or bday ticket as an extra fastpass? Seems a shame to have all these tickets and not be able to use them in some way! What would you do?

We used to sell them on when we got back, but the time windows are generally very short now.

The dates will be on the tickets, and your friend could certainly use them if they haven't run out

I think the dates are only valid for about a week after the trip

Thanks for the replies. The temporary APs are valid until June but I think I read here that you use it like a normal ticket to get in the gate and then take it to the AP office to exchange it for the permanent AP. Presumably my friend could use it to get in but not do the exchange? But I guess you couldn't park-hop? Has anyone done that before? Don't want to give them to her and find it doesn't work!

Sorry....thought you were talking about the spare children's tickets.

Sorry I wasn't very clear - they are the free children's APs that you get from promoparcs when you buy adult APs. Also one birthday ticket that is just a standard ticket. Sorry for being vague!

the issue with that is, if its a free AP ticket, it will be marked as a child's ticket, yes? So if you get a CM at the ticket turnstile who insists on taking your ticket and putting it through the turnstile for you, they'd notice it was an adult trying to use a child's ticket.

Yes of course, it would have to be used for a child, but do you think it would be possible? I wouldn't want them to get into trouble!

If it's a child using it it's possible. It would also be possible to park hop as you have all day to transform it into a permanant AP.

The only thing that would bother me is that it has 0€ value written on it and a CM could ask you where are the corresponding AP's as the free ones are not allowed by law to be sold - Worst case scenario is that they would have to buy a ticket at the gate but I'd think most CM would accept the explanation that it was given by a friend and leave it at that .

You have a certain advantage being none French speaking here

Thank you, I'll offer them to my friend and make sure she knows there is a chance she will have to buy tickets on the gate, but I think she was planning to do this anyway so she would not lose anything.

Thanks for the advice!
