Has anyone from Australia bought Disneyland tickets on Ebay?

I'm planning to take my kids to Disneyland in March, and I've found 3 day tickets on Ebay for $65, which sounds great but leaves me suspicious. Does anyone know how they do this?

    Ebay and Craiglist are rife with scammers selling expired, invalid or duplicate tickets. Disney tickets expire 13 days after first use, so it is impossible to tell if the tickets have been used before and are still any good. There's no way to know if the ticket you buy from them is legitimate, and calling Disney will result in the ticket being invalidated (since anyone who has purchased a valid ticket will know its validity and/or the number of days remaining).

    There are also businesses renting days on a multi-day ticket, which is also against park policies. These folks buy 6 day Park Hoppers and the rent each day to visitors, demanding the return of the ticket at the end of each day, holding your license or other documents as collateral. But again, you can't know if these tickets are valid and, if there's a gap between visits, Disney may grow suspicious and question you on how the ticket was used previously, such as "which park was visited first on the third day?" If you don't know the answer or can't explain away any gap between uses, the ticket will be confiscated.

    Disneyland is moving (slowly) toward biometric finger scanning like Disney World, where the first person to use a ticket is scanned and that ticket can only be used by that person from that point forward. This will immediately eliminate all ticket-sharing, renting, and other scams.

    Hi ya

    We almost did, well Im from New Zealand but close enough! Decided not to at the last minute just in case. It only ended up costing us a few more bucks ot buy directly from Disneyland but worth it for peace of mind knowing we werent gonna get turned away!!

    How long are you going for? they have these go passes in LA which are really really reasonable and gets you into all the main attractions in LA, had we been in LA longer than a week we'd definately have got them and if we go back again we definately will get one...

    Ah buger, i just looked and they dont have disneyland on them, they either used to or I was wrong, still a good price though if you got a 7 day pass for all the other attractions

    properly, this is against coverage for one venture. each so often people do it and it works out for them, yet each so often people do it and the tickets are pretend or expired. and there is not any recourse you may take considering you probably did no longer purchase them legally. some are scams, some are working tickets, yet purely undergo in innovations that it is against Disney's coverage. So in the event that they seize you, they could refuse to permit you in. there is not any thank you to tell by ability of finding if the tickets are official. i could recommend basically procuring from Disney or an approved value ticket broking, no longer Ebay.

    These tickets could well be expired, or counterfeit. You should visit the official Disneyland website to be sure.

    Don't do it. Just buy them straight from the site:
