    Indeed.

    Make it clear that you have taken note of the serial numbers.

    But they didn't so, no way of checking to see whether they've been used or not

  • Did you take photos of the actual tickets? If so can you zoom in and see the serial numbers?
  • how would you protect yourself against this type of scam?

  • ask for the buyers travellingstay dates at DL and also for details of the date/s they tried to use the tickets.

    ask also what it cost them to buy tickets on the day.

    also, check under advancedsearch / completed listings for as far ack as you can to check that they haven't been relisted - even under another username.

    not that i don't trust anyone.....;)

    Also when we went before, they punch a hole in your ticket to say its been used and there were no punctured holes in this ticket, they can see this.
    Just out of interest, when did you last go? We went last Xmas and they definately didn't punch any holes in the ticket, it was scanned only and then returned to you. Has your buyer returned the tickets to you? Perhaps if you got them back, there may be some way of verifying the dates/time of usage with DLP?

    the holes are pin sized holes they def punch them so they know theyve been used, as you can come and go as you please think this is why they scan them when you come in but each hole is for each day if that makes sense as our 3 day tickets last time had 3 wholes in it and were scanned everytime we left 1 park or the other

    Check in completed listings too, he may have already sold them under a different user name.

    Whats his feedback like?
  • on the disney store ticket it will have a bar code and the tickets should be linked to your receipt, so if you asked the store they may be able to help you this way
