I think it’s unfair to make the Blog Mickey out to be a hit piece. It’s a so-so analysis based on the limited information available. I wouldn’t have written the piece after doing that research, but I appreciate the context they’re trying to add.
The ticket situation is crummy (imo). It changed how we bought tickets for this fall (we won’t be visiting either of the other Universal parks. We’re going to Disney instead.) Maybe it’s working out great for Universal, I have no idea. I also don’t really care. I don’t own Comcast stock.
Obviously they’re not the only ones deploying ticket policies that, in my opinion, are crummy for guests. Everyone is. But that doesn’t make their policy, well, less crummy. At least, not to me!
