Discount Ticket Brokers

mrcleano · 05-22-2006

Hello everyone. I'm looking to get a 10 day park hopper pass with no expiration and noticed that some online discount brokers such as DWTickets are selling them for $40 below Disney's price.

My biggest fear is paying all that money for the tickets, flying down to Orlando and learning that they're bogus. Or even worse, using a few days on the tickets, coming back a year later and learning that your ticket was duplicated before you even got it and all of the rest of the days were used by someone else. I'm a software engineer so it's in my nature to be paranoid about these sort of things.

Anyways, does anyone have any experience with online discount ticket brokers?

Thanks!

I don't have any experience with ticket brokers..but $40 is not enough of a discount for me to take that chance. I have heard some horror stories, so don't even give this option a second thought.

I have purchased tickets through ticketmania.com and been really pleased. I would definitely recommend them! My tickets arrived well in time for my trip (I ordered them about 2 months before), and they were packaged with all sorts of fun Disney/Orlando brochures!

I'm not sure how their discounted price compares, but we did not have any problems with their service. We also purchased DisneyQuest and Cirque du Soleil tickets through Ticket Mania.

They all worked like a charm!

I bought 2 tickets for my daughters from Ticket Mania and had no problems. I shopped around and they were the lowest. Joe

One of DC's sponsors, Mouseketrips, was FANTASTICALLY helpful last time and we will use them again!

mapleleaf tickets is another good place to buy them. Many people who post here have used them in the past and they are reccomended by the unofficial guide to WDW.

I second that. We have bought our tickets from them twice, and we are very pleased with their service. Omar is the ownder's name, and he is very kind and helpful. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Ive used ticketmania 3 times with no problems. We have had them deliver our tickets to the resort every time and the package has always been there waiting when we arrivem

I can personally recommend ticketmania.com If you subscribe to their newsletter, you'll get an even bigger discount!

Yes, those two online ticket brokers are very reputable. There are many of us who can attest to it.

The ones you have to be wary of are the little roadside stands down there in FL and unknown sellers on like E-Bay or something.
