halloween horror nights for next year (2014)

[dedex13]

I would have loved a 45 minute wait for Cabin in the Woods, it was well over 2 hours the night we were there, even at 1:30 in the morning. Were the lines long with the express pass? We waited a while for AWIL and saw the express pass line looked to be a decent wait.

Another kinda dumb question, if we say bought the Universal tickets through CAA, would we be able to upgrade to SnS at the front gate or even by calling Universal? Or would we need to buy them together on the Universal website?

Ok, so I guess maybe it wasn't so busy after all. I just hate waiting in lines so anything over 30 minutes is too long (probably one of the reasons I don't care for Disney). The express lines were great though, we pretty much were able to go straight through to where the express merged with the regular line. I don't think we waited more than 15 minutes for anything (other than the first time through AWiL which we did not use express for).

My daughter had a 3 park unlimited ticket we purchased from UT last year and we had no problem purchasing the SnS at the park. We went to guest services and they didn't even ask to see the ticket.

I think our wait was around 20 minutes for Cabin but it was pretty early on that night. Lines tend to grow very quickly especially for houses near the front of the park.

You can add on the HHN ticket at either park once you have arrived...that's the easiest thing to do. Otherwise, you will have to have your theme park tickets in hand so you can enter the code on the website. I would just wait though...less to keep up with prior to arriving.

Thank you both for the information. I don't plan on buying them yet, I'm just trying to figure out what we're gonna do.

What are the odds of them selling out? I know the express pass could sell out so if we decide to do that we'll buy that online but what about HHN tickets?

Is there a map/diagram showing what's located where during HHN??

Not yet...nothing has been announced officially except The Walking Dead. A map will be released sometime in the next few weeks.

I don't think you'll have to worry about the actual event tickets selling out...Express yes...event no.

Kinda of a stupid question but I went to universal site and looked at the rush of fear "full details" and it states under restrictions apply that it is valid for one admission to Universal for the HHN event. But on the original page it states admission to all event nights during the first three weeks.

so question is if I pay the $76, can I go every single night that have HHN for the the first three weeks.

also if I buy the rush of fear plus HHN express for $190, that means I would have the express every single night as well.

That's what I thought. I guess they don't limit tickets like Disney does for MNSSHP. Thanks for the help

yes.


you can click on the type of pass on the uo hhn website and it will show the dates that are included.

the ROF covers the first 10 nights of the hard ticket event.

ROF + express is also a sweet deal.

I already have day passes for our September trip to Universal. We pick up the day tickets at a kiosk when we arrive. We also want to go to HHN one day of our trip. I went to the Universal HHN site and was able to buy Express passes for the night we are going, but it won't let me add the add-on tickets to our already purchased day passes. Any advice? Can you get add-on tickets through any other source? I was trying to solve the problem without having to make a call to Universal.

You cannot purchase the add on tickets until you have your theme park tickets in hand. You must enter the code when adding the HHN tickets to the park tickets. You will need to purchase the discounted HHN ticket once you arrive since you are using Will Call kiosks.

i read that rumor and the other one about the rest of the houses.

no comment on what i feel about it.
i'll wait until after i do HHN for my two cents on it.

My husband and I have APs and are attending HHN along with my dad. My husband is going on Fri and Sat and will be getting the ROF pass. My dad will go with him Fri and I will go with him Sat. Can I purchase my dad's ticket using my AP discount? I know you can get up to 6 discounted tickets but didn't know if they had to all be the same ones.

Thanks!

 

[macraven]

you can buy hhn tickets with the ap discount.

We literally purchased our universal tickets last sunday (8th June) and then seen that HHN had started selling tickets on the monday. All we want to buy is Stay n Scream and an express pass but obviously the site wont let us Will they let us buy them over the phone? We dont want the express passes to run out!

Just went on the sight to look up tickets and I had trouble signing in and when I went to look up express passes no dates were highlighted available. Could they have sold out this fast? We are staying at the HRH on Oct 25th - Oct 30th and we would like to go to HHN on the 26th and the 29th I was going to get the FFP but now I am thinking I should buy the passes and tickets separately I am afraid they will sell out?

sounds more like a computor glitch going on.
tickets don't sell out within a week from release.

Stick to your plan...the EPs for the event most likely have not been released yet.

You have to have the ticket #s to order the S & S discounted HHN ticket otherwise you can't do it. Universal could probably do it over the phone w/o ticket #s...they would have to override the system so you can either wait or buy them via phone. Express can be purchased at any time...you should have no problems ordering those online.
