Where are you getting $30 per person? Is that a discounted group bus rate? If so, if you can't afford $30 for an all-day ticket to WDW, you shouldn't be there.
If you are splitting the cost up between the two groups of 40 (I thought tickets were more than $60 each now) it STILL doesn't make any sense. To whit: nobody is SAVING any money!! Paying half price ($30) for a half day at WDW is STILL the SAME RATE, right? And which half day do you get? One might be worse (in terms of over-attendance) than the other, so it's not really fair.
Up until 10-20 years ago, all you needed to regain entry was the hand-stamp. It wasn't until that time that you needed to "hold on to your tickets".
Frankly, if I was Disney, I wouldn't care so much if people took their tickets to the parking lot, handed them to friends, relatives or strangers and said "go use the rest of the time left on the ticket". It's not like as if a terrorist wouldn't just buy a ticket the old-fashioned way.
2. The people who would get rich are tour operators.
Someone who was not a west coaster would better be able to explain.
Basically I am saying that for a couple hundred dollars a tour operator could have made the stamps needed for free admission.
As stated bus 1 comes in and enters then they make stamps and give the new second bus the tickets. Imagine getting 80 people a day to ride your bussess and they get a 1/3 off deal. We were talking about the old days when tickets were cheaper. You could do 10 busses a day and make a lot of money. That was when gasoline was cheaper and wages cheaper.
