Can you get AAA or Amex discounts on tkts purchased at the gate?

How do I find out what the gate prices are, and what the discounts would be, if any? I've looked at the online tkt prices, and it appears that there are fees added, in addition to the sales tax. We want to have all the info we can get before making a decision about what tkts to purchase. At the moment, we're considering all options, including the Costco tkts.

Thanks for your help!

At the gate you get a $4 discount off of gate prices with a AAA card. But that is off of gate prices which are $20 higher than online prices for multi-day tickets.

Your best bet is to order them from www.undercovertourist.com

We're pretty sure that we will only be able to do 1 day at Universal this yr. So I'm wondering about the price on a 1 day tkt. (1 park only to go the cheapest route.) IF we were sure that we would be back here in the next 2 or 3 yrs, then we would go with Costco tkts & be able to park hop. However, now that grandkids are much older, our kids are wanting to take them on vacations around the US, other than Orlando.

I did ck out the tkt prices on UT already. 1 day, 1 park is $87.95. What I'm trying to figure out is what the gate price would be, and then the AAA discount off of that.

Thanks!

I don't think there are really discounts off of one day tickets anywhere. Discounts tend to be off multi-day tickets. The AAA discount at the gate is only for multiday tickets. The online price at www.universalorlando.com for 1 day tickets is the same at the gate less the shipping or printing charge. You will save about $3/ticket ordering through undercover tourist.

There are no discounts for single day tickets.

Thanks for the info. We'll either go with UT for 1 day, or Costco for the future trips.
