Gate Prices versus Buying in Advance

[Muse]

Hi does anyone know if it is more cost effective to buy tickets for Universal and Seaworld before you go or are the gate prices competitive?

If you buy online fron seaworld.com you save $10 on the adult gate price - $68.95 for 1 day. You can print the tickets at home. I think they are still doing the second visit free if you return within 7 days aswell.

All depends on how many days you want in each park, usually 1 day tickets are no cheaper than direct(internet deals sometimes better than gate) but if you want more than 1 day then UK agents could be the best way to go.
For example a 1 day Universal ticket(no hopping) will cost you about £55 but for £80 you can get 14 days unlimited access to both Universal parks with a UK agent. https://www.orlandoattractions.com/tickets/ticket/viewType/49/49

A good place to start is Kenny's ticket thread, he will be posting a new updated list soon but links are there for you to get latest prices.

If you go every year also consider Annual passes, for SeaWorld & Busch we buy 2 year 2 park passes, working out at £38/park/year just now incl free parking and good discounts.
