Finger prints for tickets?

[Inkmahm]

I've never been to Universal. Do the tickets there require you to give your finger prints like the tickets at WDW? Or do they not care if the same person uses all days on a ticket?

You have your fingerprint taken and you sign the ticket on multi-day tickets and 1day/2park passes.

they do finger print AND signature? That seems like an overkill.

They care, just like Disney. I don't believe they've ever looked at the signature on my tickets, others' experiences may differ. Fingerprinting is to prevent sharing of tickets, which would significantly cut into gate revenue.

I think the signing is more to make sure you don't get your pass mixed up with someone else's and waste time at the gate trying to figure out which pass belongs to which person. It is really annoying being behind people at the turnstile when they are in a group and don't know whose pass is whose.

Ah, now THAT makes sense. I'd read something in another thread about signing the cards and couldn't believe that signatures would be a better control than fingerprints.
