Just got my HHN tickets today.....thru AAA. Don't know if they are on sale anywhere else yet, but you can get them there.

This is for all you experts! My in-laws live in Florida, we live in NH. They plan on going with us to HHN, can they purchase tickets for all of us? There is the 2 of them and 5 of us for a total of 7 tickets. Or is there a limit to how many they can purchase?

They can purchase tickets for the group at regular price. If one of them had an AP they could purchase discount tickets for you...each passholder can purchase up to six additional tickets at the passholder discount. Florida resident tickets are only for FL residents so those are out too.

Early entry to the holding pen with the S&Sers as opposed to the event itself / houses?


I hate that you can't book S&S online unless you're buying your day tickets at the same time. (Going to go with cheaper multi day tickets from a UK travel site) It lets you buy express without buying any other ticket, grrr. Phone call it is...

Onsite guests get in the event at 5PM...which is the same as others who are already in the park. So...onsite guests would go to the holding areas and wait with the S & S folks.

Well...the whole point of the S & S upgrade is that you already have your theme park ticket. You can't purchase the upgrade w/o it but if you bought them at the park, you wouldn't have to use the HHN tickets the same night. You might want to wait until you're here.

Thank you everyone

I guess express tickets are a must.

I guess express tickets are a must.

If you are only going one night, you will probably need them to see everything.

If you are only going one night, you will probably need them to see everything.

Yes absolutly and also squeeze in The Transformer ride if possible.

 

[MISSYLEXI]

We are going Thurs Oct 10th, I just bought my tickets with my AP discount. We are planning on IOA in the AM, taking a break and then returning to US in the early evening.
Your idea above to stay in the park in the holding area and cover 3-4 houses before the crowds are let in sounds great. We have never been to HHN before.
What time would we need to be at US?
When do they start letting people already in US into the houses before the crowds are let in.
Would an express be necessary on a Thursday night? I was also thinking of doing the non-private RIP tour as this is our 1st time. I see last years price of $150.00 is quite a bit, but for a 1st time HHN we want to see all the houses and not wait in line a bunch.

Any tips would be great!

that thursday shouldn't be bad for the crowds.
if this is the only night you plan to do hhn, the express would help guarantee you seeing everything that night in case it is crowded.

the event will close at 1:00 am.

like i posted earlier, you can do 3-4 of the houses before the general public is let in.
it's a weekday, the only time that night could become crowded would be after you have done a lot in the park.
just a guess on my part..

i do private rip tours for hhn.
it's costly but worth it to me.
it is limited to 10 in a party, and for a full night.


the general hhn rip tours allow more in those groups.
it's a lot cheaper too!
they have different/staggering start times.
the rip tours are usually available on non peak nights and peak nights.
we won't know the set up for this year until that info is released on the website.

anytime you book a tour, you still have to pay for the hhn ticket besides the tour.

it depends on when security clears out the park on when you are released from the holding area to start doing the houses.

the earliest time i have been released was 5:40.
the latest time was at 6:10, which was on a saturday.

3 houses should be open during that early release period.
by then when the crowds start arriving, you could be at house #4 and way ahead of the crowds.

if you are staying onsite, go to the park around 5:30 at the latest.

if you decide to enter the park from the front gate, you will have to go thru the security section, walk thru the metal detectors-empty your pockets, you know the drill if you have ever flown.......
this can take some time, more time than just doing a ticket check type of thing.

for what i drop to do this hhn event and vacation, i do buy the express passes for the nights i go.
i will be hitting 5 nights of hhn this october.

i came back to edit the closing time for that thursday the 10th.
i used the interactive calendar and the closing time came up at 1 for that date listed above.
it is a kewl calendar this year.....

[macraven]

i was playing around with the hhn calendar on the site and found from the 20th on, later hours for the event.

2:00 closing on some dates



thinking that the most crowded periods will be the from the 20th up to the 27th.

time will tell.

Did anyone else see the video on the bottom of the main page?

 

[Liberator]

When we have an Orlando FlexTicket Plus, we need to purchase a Stay&Scream-Ticket??

We stay at RPR until 9/21, so the HHN on 9/20 is perfect

Tickets on sale!!! Going opening night!

Yes...HHN is a hard ticket event and requires separate admission.

 

[BuddyThomas]

I see the tickets on sale. Whooo hoo! But I don't see express passes. Do they go on sake at a later date?------Also, I'm not understanding the Stay and Scream option, which is significantly cheaper. You have to buy a day pass to the park for this? What if I have a multi day pass? Thanks!

 

[BuddyThomas]

On sale, not on sake. Although going on sake might be fun.
