I agree. And it's a pretty critical element.I don’t know but I feel like someone isn’t telling the whole story. He says listed at face value, Disney says sold for more than face value.
Not my research, but people who believe they found the expired eBay listing have been sharing it in other groups. (The seller’s name matches the passholder’s.) If true, he did list it for face value…as the starting bid for auction. And also set a higher than face value Buy It Now price, which is what they sold for when you look at the bid history.I don’t know but I feel like someone isn’t telling the whole story.

I’ll say it again. Personally, I have a hard time believing someone who’s been a pass holder since the 90’s is all shocked Pikachu face about the reselling policy.
I don't see why the guy is surprised that Disney came down on him for selling event night tickets. Claiming he didn't realize it wasn't allowed seems disingenuous. Who doesn't know you can't (legally) resell Disney tickets on ebay? Now honestly, I didn't know you weren't allowed to give them to someone else, but selling them on ebay?
Maybe call or chat with Disney first for something like that. But to be honest, I'm glad Disney holds a strict policy to prevent resales. Just because this guy supposedly didn't charge more than he paid doesn't mean others won't. Who wants the tickets to go to resellers who will drastically raise the price to a sold-out event?
It's a hard and expensive lesson learned, I guess, but I'm happy that Disney is trying to stop scalpers.
The article is unclear. He says in one part that he sold them at face value, and then later it says when he apologized to Disney he sold them for more than face value.
I wish they were refundable. We bought tickets for 2 after dark events in the last few years that we couldn't attend and Disneyland wouldn't make any exceptions for refunds, even for a medical emergency. After the last time we decided not to try anymore. I asked why they can't refund them, just out of curiosity, and the CM said that since they only set up a site to sell them temporarily it would be too difficult to do refunds.
Yep- since it's a loan not membership. Guest's often think if they stop paying their Magic Key it will just turn off their pass.... not only that but you'll quickly be sent to collections with credit score impact.Finally, not sure if anyone caught this, but Disney also said if he was making payments on a payment plan, he would still owe the money, yikes.

Glad Disney is cracking down on all this resell junk it truly needs to stop which will allow tickets for those who actually want to go to events.
