Signing tickets?

[quacker]

I read somewhere about scams on ebay etc. where unscrupulous people have sold tickets which have already been used but look "brand new".

Do you sign tickets? - are they transferrable? - what prevents this? I know I've ordered my tickets today and obviously there is no photos on them etc. Presumably they're signed? - who signs the younger kids' tickets?

Sorry if it seems a silly question. I've already heard of the people who use child tickets for 10-teens.

Always sign my tickets, you always take a risk buying anything off ebay they might be genuine but you won't know till you get to the park, I must admit:blush: I have sold a couple of park hoppers on ebay years ago, the purchaser got a great deal on genuine tickets but they could easily have been used tickets, the tickets aren't too expensive if you think it's probably the main reason for most folks holiday, go to a reputable firm and you won't be left standing outside the gate.;)

they take your fingerprints too i tried to use DW ticket last year and a CM stopped me luckily she was right behind me

we always sign them before first use, and that way you can never mix them up, so the fingerprint will match

The last time we went to disney they had the finger print thing, there was 6 of us we never signed our tickets and never got stopped for having the wrong tickets, and I looked after the tickets in my purse and used to just dish them out at the gate.

[chuckles]

We got stopped at universal when we forgot to sign our tickets:blush:

We were told to sign our flextickets at Universal, but i used different fingers for the fingerprint thing in Seaworld and Universal, and was let straight in.

At Disney we signed them beforehand, and were let in with each others tickets, so it makes you wonder if the finger scan thing is for real.

At Busch Gardens the finger scanners said 'no' to all 4 of us, but the operative on the gate let us all in with a big smile:)

Just signing our MYW tickets from undercovertourist.com as I am reading this.

Thought they may have been plastic credit card like at paris but they are a bit thin and flimsy.

By the way agree with all of this - ordered mine yesterday from ATD etc.

No I mentioned this to a colleague at work who had been a fair few year ago. She said people were giving hteir park tickets away to anyone who wanted them on the last day if there was days remaining.

Giving away as opposed to selling - I assumed they were non-transferable and this would not be possible. Again I'd have thought Disney might have had measures in place to prevent such stuff.

Indeed it does sound like the finger print stuff is not a genuine deterrant and people can (and will) take advantage. Maybe it is just the calibre of person I know or work with but I guess it is a human trait - where there's a will there's a way etc.

Still paid for mine, all of us - even the 10 year old got an adult ticket.

I'm a good guy :grin:
