"borrowing" tickets for SeaWorld?
We're heading out to San Diego tomorrow morning and as it so turns out my cousin's family all went to there last week and bought SeaWorld tickets (the 2 days for the price of 1) but they only stayed one day and wont be going back anytime soon. So she offered to give us their 2nd day tickets. Can we do that? Do they have names on them? Do they ask for ids? It'd be really nice for us...that saves us $200, which was the bulk of our trip expense. But I'm worried we'll get to the gate and they won't accept them for some reason. :/

Hi,
We were at SD SW a few months ago and they took our fingerprints!
I also was going to pass my tickets on to a relative and realized that they probably would not be able to use them, assuming that they would check to see if the prints matched.

Just pay for the tickets yourself. Do you really want your children to see you getting caught breaking the rules or giving them the lesson that it's okay to break rules, even if you don't get caught?

Oh please, this is not armed robbery... It does NOT hurt to try. If it doesn't work, look confused, and go buy a ticket at the ticket office.

I recently took a group of students to Universal Studios in Orlando. We had two day passes and on the pass it said something about needing a photo ID. I was worried, because most of the students didn't have a photo ID with them, but our tour guide said not to worry, because they use a fingerprint instead. Sure enough, on the first day when we went in, we had to put our thumb onto a scanner, which presumably read and stored our print. On the second day, when we put our tickets into the reader, we again had to have our thumbprint scanned before the turnstile would move. From what another poster has said, it sounds like Sea World has a similar system. I suppose you could try the tickets, as long as you don't mind the possible hassle/embarassment if they don't work.

MikeT get off your moral soapbox. The tickets were purchased and not used, why shouldn't they try to use them. It's not like the tickets were stolen or something, no rules were broken. If they can use them, great, if not then just purchase tickets. No harm, no foul.

"no rules were broken"
Not so sure about that, or there wouldn't be all of this discussion on asking for IDs and do they check the fingerprints.
I agree with MikeT.
If the tickets say they are transferable, then "no rules were broken". If the tickets are non-transferable, then rules ARE broken to use them.
