Recently picked up tickets for my holiday visit and I have access to discounted tickets @ $100 for an adult hopper. The tickets that I bought expire 12/31 and looking at the price list for beyond that time frame, those same tickets would cost me $125 for 01/01/13 and beyond. Is there a price increase that will hit for the new year or is my seller just losing their discount??
The prices were increased in May. The seller probably was able to purchase a PH at the old price with an expiration date of 12/31.
No - this is a company and their "discounted" adult hopper tickets from 01/01/13 and beyond are $125..
That is the current price. Disney has not announced any additional price increases since the last wave in May.Quote:

I'd vote for one super-expensive, no-blockout premium APs that allows for one meal at Club 33,
and for the rest of us: passes that allow for 2, 4, or 6 visits within a year, some with and some without parkhopper options and blockout dates. People could always go through two or three of these passes a year.
I'd rather have ten million people visit each of the two parks once a year, than have one million annual passholders each making 20 visits a year. That way more people would enjoy Disneyland and the visits would be more special for most guests. That unemployed couple that's visiting Disneyland everyday in 2012 is taking up too much room when their visits are added up. I think they should have just worked at Disneyland. Or Knott's.
Funny, but true. Prior to your post I think I was always in the camp of "this is America, we should be free and unregulated" which in terms of APers means they should be able to get their money's worth out of their pass and go as often as they want. If I could afford one, I'd use the hell out of it in a year.Quote:

I'm torn between both sides of logic but as numbers in the park increase, you may make the stronger point.
price increase for Disneyland only happens once a year. So if the company is giving you a discounted ticket that is their doing.. .however i would be cautious of a company that is selling tickets that cheap for Disneyland, specially park hoppers. just FYI Disneyland has had trouble with ticket scammers,one of those companies i hear is not to far from Disneyland ( or so i heard don't take my word for it),anyhow so these people who get multi day tickets and what not and sell them at a cheaper price to park guests, turns out the ticket is half used or things like that.. and the guests paid to "rent" the ticket, this is something we don't condone on micechat or encourage to do either.at all. this tickets you have sounds not right and or fishy if it was me i'd take them back and get your money back and just pay the cost of what it is at the park. ..but that's just me.Quote:

here this may help the OP....
this is trusted, mousesavers is good, Ares travel and Triple A are good places to get tickets

The problem with this whole thread is that the OP is not, in fact, getting discounted tickets. All tickets are valid for the duration of the calendar year. Meaning that If I buy a ticket on 1/2/13 it will be valid until 12/31/14.Quote:

***To Clarify***
They are technically discounted for the next couple weeks. The $100 price was the rate before the May increase. It can't hurt to buy them now and save $25 a ticket. And it's perfectly "legal" to do this.
There have been rumors (nothing more) of another price increase coming, but who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
As for the other conversation as to how often somebody should go to DL, that's each individual persons preference and if some feel the need to visit every day or once a year or once every few years, that's their business IMO. If somebody can afford the passes they should be able to go as much as they want.
For us, personally, after our passes expire in May I'm actually fine with taking at least a year off from the park.
^ yep current rate for a 1 day park hopper is $125..so this company he bought them from, he said the tickets from 1 1 2013 and beyond are $125.
wait did i mix something around again? i think i did...Quote:
1-Day Park Hopper Ticket – $125 for adults (10 and older), $119 for children (3-9).
im sorry but ur discounted deal sounds odd and fishy to me.. that's all don't mind me :lol:Quote:
