You will save money over the gate price if you purchase from the Universal website. You could choose either "print at home" or "Will Call" to pick up at the kiosks. If you do print at home, your sheet of paper that you print out on your own printer would be your actual ticket...you could go directly to the gate. If you choose will call pick up, you would to go the kiosk and using your credit card and confirmation number, get your tickets there. The tickets would be on ticket stock and then you could go to the gates. It's very quick and easy plus it would save you time by not having to wait in the lines just to buy tickets.
