Elena Tarano was arrested in Orlando February 8 for selling used tickets to
Walt Disney World,
Universal Studios and
SeaWorld. This isn't an uncommon event in the theme park capital of the world, but the interesting twist to this story is that this is the third time in the past year Tarano has been arrested for selling illegal tickets. She works out of a booth on the busy International Drive, which in itself isn't illegal, but selling used tickets is. Vendors like this typically buy partially-used tickets, then pass them off as still having valid days remaining on them. Unfortunately for the people who purchase them, the theme parks do not allow their guests to use tickets that had previously been used by someone else. Tarano is being held in the Orange County Jail.
