That's one way to get cheap tix: Cops bust Busch ticket scheme2006-08-03By Robert Niles: Police in Virginia have arrested a 21-year-old Busch Gardens Europe employee in a discount ticket scheme. According to a Hampton Roads Daily Press report, Justin Sands, a front gate employee, would pocket visitors' tickets as they entered the park, instead of scanning (and voiding) them. Sands then allegedly sold the $52 tickets online for $10 to $20 each. Busch Gardens wouldn't comment. Sands is facing felony embezzlement charges.

I'm not sure if Busch changed their ticket policy. In the past, tickets must be used within three days of purchase. 3-day 'hopper passes' to both BGE and Water Country must be used within fourteen days. Advanced on-line sales also ask for visitation dates. It's too bad Justin tossed his life away for a few measly dollars. This article has been archived and is no longer accepting comments.

Well, that was a pretty clever idea on his part. I never thought about why they don't do that or why people aren't caught more often for doing that. Sucks for him though.
