great deal on ioa/uso tickets

[dreamer]

Just so you all know. I ordered the 3rd day free passes on Sunday 1/27 and they arrived today 1/29. Use the link I posted above and it should work for you.

I really appreciate your efforts. I figured out that when I try to purchase tickets on the Universal site I get the same javascript error message, so I e-mailed them to see if they can help. Haven't heard back yet. Meanwhile, I'll keep trying, if the offer is good until May -- or I'll try from someone else's computer.

Actually, I think the new deal is "7 consecutive days admission for $89.95". It was on the universal studios website.

They still have the buy 2 days get 3rd day free offer.

Like others I've seen posting, I'm getting the same javascript errors when trying to access the 3 day offer for $89. I've tried everything, even grabbing the URL error message and manually trying to go here:

https://tickets.universalstudios.com/USRG/us_store_secure.jsp?merchant=5000&refloc=UO

but to no avail.

But I've come across another low-cost option that I wanted to run by those on here. While looking for purchase my WDW 5 day hopper, I noticed the online ticket place (which I confirmed was very reputable via another discussion under this DIS umbrella) offered the 3 day passes for $99 adult, $84 child, including taxes. Given free pickup near the WDW area, this sounded pretty good too - no shipping costs(we're going in less than a week!), tax included, good child rate.

What is the Kissimmee deal on the child rate? For 2 adults and 1 child, we get 3 days at US/IOA with no expiration and 3 nights CityWalk (within first 7 days) for $282, so this sound pretty comparable.

Info found at:

Any thoughts on this? Sounds good to me!

kevster - Just got my tickets in the mail today! If you want to check the children's prices on this deal you can call the 888# I listed in my above post - I didnt ask because my son is a 13yo "adult". This was my breakdown - 2day/2park adult tickets w/3rd day free (no expiration) one City Walk Pass entry for each - 89.95ea, 10.80 tax, and 3.00 shipping -total 193.70. Your deal sounds good depending on what the kids prices are - they were extremely helpful on the phone- ask for the kissimmee/st. cloud offer and tell them you're having problems with the online ordering (that's what I had to do when I couldn't find it online).

the person I spoke to from the 888 number indicated they weren't running it anymore, despite the website indicating it runs through May.

She tried the "7 day unlimited" sell and I told her I was looking for 3 days, no expiration as we are doing 1, maybe 2 days for this trip next week. I'll call back and try again (maybe a diff operator will help?), but $182 for 2 adults and 1 child 3-9 sounds comparable to what they'd probably offer me. That and I could pick up with my WDW tickets all in one stop is making me lean that way.

Thanks for the reply, good to know the deals appear comparable.

I ordered the universal bonus pass last wed evening and they were shipped to the uk on thursday, just awaiting delivery, what fantastic offer 7 consecutive days entrance for that price. But I have a question about the phot id required, my eldest son (10) does not have a passport of his own, he is on mine, will he still need a photo id, I don't really want to get him a passport of his own just yet as there is 5 years still to run on mine. I have e-mailed US 2 days ago but no answer, I have the same problem with the Busch gardens Etickets, again e-mailed but no answer. Can anyone help?

kda and kevster, I was also getting the javascript error. The only thing that helped was for me to use another computer. Worked like a charm.

kevster, I also called and was given the 7 day unlimited sell. I asked for the kissimee/st.cloud offer and was told there's no such creature currently available.

I was finally able to book on-line using the link posted here. If you just sign on to the Universal Orlando website, it's not there. Good luck!

I finally decided I'll just have to use another computer, too. It occurred to me that it might have something to do with the fact that I HATE to update the versions of my browsers and perhaps an older version is preventing downloading. OR, I might have better luck with IE, instead of Netscape. So I tried IE and could get the desired page to download, but couldn't click on the 'tickets' icon. Go figure.

One more tip - when I called the 888# because I couldn't find the deal on line, the agent who answered couldn't find it either, but he took my name and # and said he would check with his manager - I waited on line for quite a while while he tried to find it in his system - fortunately for me he had seen it before so he was persistent! the manager was the one who called me back with the info a couple of hours later - long story short - if the agent who answers the phone can't find the info ask to speak to a manager or ask to have one contact you back. She assured me this offer would be in effect until 5/31 in case I needed more tickets for my friends. I think the agents who answer the phones are like CRO CMs and want to sell you the deal of the day - be persistent if you want to find the info - good luck!
