It does not work that way.

First of all you are supposed to sign your ticket on the back.

Second is the first time you use it there is a biometric scan which
reads fingertip and knuckle placement, converts it to an algorithm and
stores it on the ticketing computer. Each time you use the ticket it
compares the current scan with the one of record.

Third it is illegal in Florida to sell or purchase partially used
theme park tickets. How do you expect to find someone to buy the
ticket from you.

Fourth there is no way, looking at a ticket, to actually tell what
entitlements remain on it. For example if you reported your ticket
lost, and had the receipt, a new ticket would be issued and the
original voided.

Default Ticket sharing

OK, thanks. I did some further searching after I posted this and found a
similar thread on another website indicating it's next to impossible to
share tickets because of the biometric scan.
