I just came across a web site that has 3 day park hoppers for $187 (adult). It is dnticket.com. Seems too good to be true. Has anyone use this?

I've never heard of that site before, but this came up when I googled: http://www.ripoffreport.com/event-pl...-dis-f409a.htm
The above link is the 2nd of two such reports. As the old adage goes, if it sounds to good to be true...
I'd guess that the site hasn't been updated since that's a old price of a three day hopper. Which in itself is a sign of poor business standards.
Has anyone used bestticketshere.com?
Someone posted this on Facebook today. I don't know how reliable though. They have an actual business location though. So I would think they would be legitimate, since it would be very easy for police to check them out if there were complaints. http://www.facebook.com/#!/halfoffthemeparks
That site says openly that they are renting tickets: http://www.bestticketshere.com/disneyland-how-it-works/
Whatever you think of that practice, it goes directly against the contract Disney prints on the back of the tickets, i.e. that the tickets are non-transferable and not for resale. That doesn't sound legitimate to me.
They also rent tickets: http://www.halfoffthemeparks.com/info.htmlOriginally Posted by bumblebeeonarose
It says they take a copy of your license and credit card, then shred the info after you put the tickets in a drop box. Uh, that doesn't sound like a good idea to me, unless you're planning to change the credit card number the day after your Disney trip, and really, not even then.
Also, renting tickets is not illegal, it violates the terms of use set by Disney. I imagine if Disney denies admission the police would say, "Sorry, but they can do that."
I didn't read the whole site. I just said someone posted it on Facebook. That's crummy that they are renting the tickets, because the way it is posted on the main page was that it was the price of the ticket. The idea of renting tickets doesn't even make sense. I don't understand how companies like this can exist. It may not be illegal, but if it is against the ticket policy, then they aren't really providing valid media. It seems like the company is still breaking the law in a sense.
I witnessed 2 incidents of people getting turned away this weekend, due to rented tix.

Just wanted to let you know that Alaska airlines has discounted tickets, the best I see out there, but you do have to book with them. We got airfare cheap, we got the hotel we wanted for a very reasonable price, could have gotten a little cheaper myself with senior rate, but not by much. Then I can get 5 day hoppers for $250, everyone else is $290, so I saved more than $450 or so. I have not boughten the tickets, still could get them on base a little cheaper, but it is a 6 hour drive. But I am mad about the adding days on, we were going to do this and not use the military three day tickets and save them for next trip. Now I hear you can't add days and for us it would not be worth the price of a new ticket, because our first day we at best would have 4 hours in park, and last day we would have at best 5 hours in park,so to add $5 to a tickets and spend more time in park was worth it, but to buy a new ticket for such a Short time, is not worth it, disney's loss, they don't want our money, that's okay, usually the first and last day is the buying days, so hopefully my pocket will have lots of money in it at the end of the vacation since on full days we do not usually shop.

The way it seems to work is they buy a five day pass and sell days on that pass for a profit and a small discount for you. I believe I will just buy from AAA since there seems to be so many scams out there.
AAA is always a safe bet, free parking, too.
If you read a recent Disneyland Update here on Mouseplanet, you'll see a referenced story about a guy in Compton getting busted for selling counterfeited Disneyland tickets. The update also mentions ticket renting and that, "Disney is stepping up efforts to crack down on ticket renting".
My SIL recently posted the Disneyland "Half Price Ticket" announcement on her Facebook page. I looked into it and discovered, suprise, it's a ticket rental agency.
If Disney discovers you're using rented tickets, they will confiscate the tickets at the gate and deny you entry. Furthermore, there's no way to tell if the tickets you "rent" really have any unused days on them. You won't know until you scan them at the gate. Then it's quite possible you'll be denied entry simply because the tickets have been used up. Then you'd have to go back to the ticket rental agency, explain the tickets are no good and hope they replace them. (Don't count on a refund!)
While it's technically possible to successfully use rented tickets, it's risky, it's a scam and IMO, it's not worth it. As these ticket rental agencies proliferate, I expect Disneyland will start using the biometric scanners, such as are used at Walt Disney World, any day now.
Or as I witnessed Saturday, they could ask you "When did you last use this ticket?" Since you rented, you have no idea, and then they hold it while they compare the name of who bought it, etc...
