Compton Man Pleads Guilty to Making Counterfeit Tickets to Disneyland

Terance Ray Hutchinson, 35, a Compton man, pleaded guilty this past Tuesday in a plea agreement, to making counterfeit tickets. Hutchinson was arrested on Saturday after the police set up a surveillance camera during a meeting between Hutchinson and one of his victims, who asked for more tickets in order to get a refund.

Police believe that Hutchinson had bought a “park hopper” ticket online, valued at $87, and made multiple copies of the same ticket. He then went on craigslist and sold multiple tickets at the discounted price of $55 per ticket. When the victims attempted to use the tickets at Disneyland they were turned away because tickets with the same barcode had already been used.  Disneyland security told police that about 50 people had tried to use the same set of photocopied tickets.

Sgt. Allan Roman of Anaheim Police Department said officers sometimes are called to investigate such fraudulent tickets, when visitors are rejected at the gate, but he had no estimate of the frequency.

“We warn people against buying these kinds of things on Craigslist or any other place. You are taking a risk,” Austin said.
