Buy Universal tickets cheaply or not

[grumblygrew]

Hi family of 4 adults from UK visiiting Walt and Universal three weeks in August. Tickets bought in UK are now £96 from Universal website. Other UK sites are selling from £85-£90. Will these be actual tickets or vouchers? Are vouchers okay? Anyone got any experience buying tickets cheaper in the UK?
Thanks David

I've bought my tickets in the UK going just after HP opens I don't want to chance a long line for ticket sales when I get there - That is in my opinion wasted time that could be spent in the parks. I found the whole thing v.smooth. I bought the tickets, they arrived as tickets not vouchers ready to go through the park gates about 5 days or so later

Yep, I've used vouchers before and had no problems. You have to exchange them for tickets at the front though, which may shave valuable park time off your trip if there are large queues. That's the only problem I could see you having there

If you have the option to do electronic pickup, select that option. You would go to the Will Call kiosks out in front of both parks and enter the confirmation number and credit card used and your tickets will pop out. These are the "real" tickets so you wouldn't need to exchange anything and there's usually never a line.
