Epic Universe Ticketing Info, Advice, & Speculation

[BBPH]

More tickets incoming, seems to mostly be detaching VB from the usual three park offering.

And a new international 14 day ticket, also without VB.

I’m assuming capacity is coming into play here.

Have they final decided to stop calling VB a theme park?!… probably not.

I do the same - but oddly enough, our week in September has only gone UP in price since booking

Same for mine, they initially went down and I re-booked, now they are up and by quite a bit, over $130 per night for HR.

HHN is probably showing strong bookings, helped by Epic opening and bringing in more tourists....therefore the hotel pricing will go up, up, up during HHN.

I was able to lock in a great price originally, so we got in at a perfect time!

April 26th sold out, for now anyway.

Has anyone tried to get hotel preview tickets for tomorrow yet? Curious on how that pricing compares to the AP ticket, as I might be going in May if previews extend, but I currently have an unactivated AP (hotel tickets would be my backup plan)

Not for Tomorrow but I did buy Hotel tickets for my MIL yesterday for 4/20. The price for her ticket was $180. We paid $165 after tax for our AP rate for the same day.

When does the free HHN ticket for Premier AP holders become available to book usually?

 

[Lorix]

I did the Visa purchase and it was $164 for the 24th and 25th.

Curious how hard it is to snag early preview ticket at Terra Luna. We are staying from 4/23 - 4/28 and wondering if anyone has any tips on securing one. Also, it sounds like they are $180?

You can pick them up at the vacation planning desk inside the resort.

Hi guys, I'm all booked up and tix booked for October yay
However I have a friend travelling over next week on a once in a lifetime trip which they booked before knowing the opening dates for Epic. They are not AP holders or staying on site but wondering if they have any way at all of snagging tickets for previews that I may have missed?

So now that free parking is confirmed for Annual Pass holders (correct me if I'm wrong)... I'm thinking about visiting this weekend (without a park ticket) and crying outside the gates.

Anyone know if the Mardi Gras food cards work at Epic? They're supposed to work at all UOR locations so I'm assuming yes.

Yes.

What is the speculation regarding adding additional AP preview dates? I’m hoping I can go again on Friday 5/16, but it only goes up to 5/8.

The FAQ page says

“Additional details on the Preview period from May 9 – May 21 will be available soon.”

So I would fully expect them to extend but nothing is guaranteed.

Thanks! Sorry didn’t even catch that.

I love those cards, best deal on property.

Bumping this message, I'm assuming the lack of response means they have no options, but wondering if they booked a night at any of the uni hotels incl endless summer or any of the cheap ones for one person, could they buy 3 x Epic preview tickets? Sorry for all the questions, but trying to see what hail Mary options are out there for them

It’s possible there are still tickets available if they get the Universal credit card. Otherwise, I don’t see why they couldn’t buy tickets at the on site hotel if they were a guest, even if only for one night.
