This is basically a way to force more people into the higher priced premium, park hopper tickets.

Seasonal Multi-Day Ticket Pricing Coming Soon

It shouldn’t be, no.
Have there been any new whispers of when to expect this change? Are you still hearing in the next 45 days or so?
I’m checking.

Is there any chance that whatever they consider the "low" season to be, ticket prices may actually be less than prices currently? Or is that just a total pipe dream and it makes sense to buy tickets if you are going at any time in 2019?
IMHO, pipe dream.

Buy now if you can afford it.

I thought I read someplace that the tickets expire, unused, in around a year. They will still apply what was paid for the purchased tickets, but, they would have to be exchanged for new ones and pay the difference between the old price and the new one. So purchasing a long way in advance, might just be for nothing really.
FWIW, I contacted UT regarding physical, mailed tickets. For the park hopper I was interested in they said they had some that expired 12-31-18 and some that expired 2-28-19. The E-tickets were good until 12-31-19.

yes I have seen that on recent tickets we have purchased even from the resellers.
I miss the days of being able to just buy non expiration tickets, it was much easier then.

Here here... But, if used correctly, non-expiration passes eventually turned into a value to the guests and you know that can't be tolerated.

@lentesta Sorry, have you been able to find out any new information on a possible date the new ticket pricing will go live? I'm a few weeks away from being able to buy them without putting them on a credit card and am waiting as long as possible. Feel like I'm playing chicken with Disney and I'm definitely going to lose.

Typically when the change happens there will be at least a short window of notice. And even if it's minute, most of the resellers will still stock/sell the tickets at the old price until their currently supply runs out. So advance notice isn't the end of the world, just keep an eye on the boards and such.
Agreed. You should have at least 24-hours notice on the change.
I haven't heard anything in the last couple of weeks on it. I'm checking.

Awesome. Thanks!
Disney worlds ticketing system is a mess, it's built by Viva Ticket who used to be called Omniticket and are based near Holyland. The system has to cope with decades of ticket data that has changed over the years and has hundreds of thousands of tickets which are still valid stored in it in various formats plus Disney loves to change everything every few years making it even more of a beast to manage. I can't imagine how much development will have to be done to make this work but at somepoint the whole ticketing system will need a full overhaul.
