My little one wants to spend his birthday in universal and wanted to get him tickets. 2014 2 adults 2 children, been so long dont know which sites to trust :)
 

We were in Disney 21 st October for two weeks, family of 5 it was a big spend, my 18 year old wanted to go to Universal and I wanted to get as cheap a tickets as possible, as we all know nothing is cheap!!! Having said that I went to eBay and managed to pick up 5 tickets (14day) from someone that had to cancel holiday due to illness. I made a saving and they arrived, worked fine, only used them for the one day, but managed to do most of the rides, just missed out the rides for small children, later in the day we were able to walk straight on many of the big rides. Still an expensive day, but this was the cheapest option for us.
 
My sister wants to do 2 days at universal also without a park hopper the cheapest I found is the universal website. The 2 day non park hopper pass is $125.99 they are also doing a deal with the 3rd day free :).

This is without tax, when tax is added its exactly same as buying thru DU. When you buy from dreams it redirects you to the Universal site but gives DU (DIS owners) some commission which helps keep the DIS running.

Isn't that just for US and Canadian citizens?
No, if you go thru to the delivery page it says you can opt for international delivery for $19, next page gives you option to choose UK. Or you can print at home or Will call free to save the $19. There is another section on the site for Florida residents only.

I have used ebay since it was in the US only, before it came to UK, my feedback is up at around 800 so I like to think I am quite experienced, I once bought Disney Quest tickets off Ebay, did usual checks, seller had faultless feedback etc. Tried to use at DQ and they had already been used. As it was outside the claim timeframe we lost the whole lot. Last place I advise buying park tickets is Ebay.
 
I think you're misunderstanding me :)

The extra day (2+1) option applies to US&Canadian residents only. It doesn't show that though unless you select it.


Also, if you click on 'Full Details' a pop up window shows:

"United States and Canadian residents buy a 2-Day Base Ticket for $125.99+ tax & fees and get the 3rd Day Free
Three (3) days of admission to ONE (1) Universal Orlando® Resort (UOR) theme park per day (Universal Studios Florida® OR Universal's Islands of Adventure®).
Third Day Free based on the online price of adult 2-Day Base Ticket at $125.99"

Yes I was, sorry.
You are correct, that is what it says but it allows you to buy as far as I can see.
Universal and Seaworld I have always found to be OK if it lets you buy them, it won't let you get as far as paying if you are not allowed to buy, when I first bought our Universal AP's a few years ago it said for Florida Residents but we bought no problem.

No need to apologise at all! :)

I don't know how strict they are at checking (or even if they do) but the pop-up window also mentions a requirement for US or Canadian ID and evidence of residence.
