I'm planning my next trip

So I found these tickets I was just wondering, how you guys feel about it. I've actually started look all around ebay and found alot of deals of tickets.

The sellers all have good feedback, anyone else have luck buying on ebay

My biggest concern is that the tickets aren't legit .. and you don't find out until you are trying to use them.
I'd be really leery of any "deals" .. that would sure be a vacation spoiler.
Good luck.

I would have to agree. It is always a gamble to purchase Disney Tickets this way.

I agree with the others. I have seen a lot of bad tickets.
and what will you do when you spent all your money on them and get to the gate, and they scan them and tell you they are no good? of course you won't ever get your money back from the seller, and unless your vacation is over you will need to purchase good tickets from disney.
disney has a record of every ticket ever sold. and if they are good, but what if disney wants to see proof of ownership? like a receipt or something. only authorized outlets can sell tickets.

I was thinking about buying ebay tickets, too. the seller has no negative feedback whatsoever. If my mother can't find a better deal, we'll probably buy off ebay.

Ebay is great place to get just about anything, but I have to go with everyone else you will never know if tickets were use or not until you get there then it would be to late.

How much money are you saving by buying tickets off ebay?

If it is a huge or even medium savings, buyer beware since it is most likely a scam or fake tickets.

If it is a small savings, why put yourself through all that stress and angst? Not worth it to me.

Think about what your plan would be if you got to the gates and they turned out to be fake? "Sorry family, I know we spent the money on airfare/gas/travel, hotel, meals, etc. and I know that you were all looking forward to spending the day at MK/Epcot/etc. but these tickets I bought off ebay aren't good so let's go back to the hotel and spend the rest of our Disney vacation there..." I know that wouldn't fly with my kids! So then you're looking at buying real tickets at the gate *** ouch *** and since you'll never get your money back from the ebay seller *** double ouch! *** But if you're OK with either of those scenarios if the worst case happens, well then.... ebay it is.

Personally, I'd buy tickets from an authorized outlet, even if that means postponing your trip to save up the money to be able to do so.

Just my .02

I concur. Just because the seller has positive ratings, doesn't mean they were selling tickets or something to that extent before. It could've been anything. I would be leary...
I would just die of heartbreak if i spent that money and it ended up being fake.

I successfully purchased 4 2-day tickets from 2 different sellers over eBay, and they both turned out fine. The first set came in the mail quickly. the second set put us in a crunch, but we ended up picking them up from the park, and it worked.

My advice? If it looks as if MANY people have bought tickets from the seller and they all worked, go with it. If it looks too shady, don't.
