Something happened on our last visit as we were exiting.
We were between the Hospitality House and the Eva and Delilah's when a man approached us, asking us if we were season pass holders or if we had bought a ticket for the day. When we said "season pass", he just shrugged and thanked us anyway. When we asked him why he wanted to know, he explained that they had bought day passes, but had lost one. They wanted to upgrade to a season pass and wondered if anyone had a pass they could use to upgrade.
Perhaps naively, we asked where he lost the ticket(s) and started to look for them. He dismissed the possibility. Still not thinking, I suggested that he explain his situation at the booth and see what the employees suggested. Again, he really just wanted us to leave him alone.
Of course, later, I suspected this was a scam, but I don't have the wherewithal to understand how it would work. I'd like to think HFE has a system that wouldn't allow a scam, but I'm not sure. If he got in on a Bring-a-Friend to begin with, I suppose he would need a regular day ticket to make the upgrade. If he got in with a season pass, he could upgrade from a day ticket, but his information would already be in the system as a season pass holder (though I guess he could use a different name). If we truly was a day ticket purchaser on the day he approached us, then he might have been legitimate with his request, but his behavior, in retrospect, suggested otherwise.
Thoughts?
