If I buy tix online, do I have to stop at a ticket booth?

[KJay]

I'm planning to buy my two-day ticket online and print at home. Will I then have to take that printout to a ticket booth for an actual ticket once I arrive? I'm staying onsite one night only, but taking advantage of both days. I'll arrive to check in @ RPR early, around 7:00am, so I can get early access that day. I'm just wondering if the early access wil be hindered by me not having an actual ticket in hand yet. Thanks!

If you do the print at home, then no you will not have to wait in a ticket line. Yes you can check in at 7 am or earlier to get your room keys. The room key is what gets you into early entry area, the ticket gets you in the park.

As Bluer 101 said, the print-at-home are your actual tickets. You do not exchange them for anything.

Forgive me if this is considered "hi-jacking", but when you purchase on-line from Universal, they say that you are eligible for a "Resort-Wide Savings Booklet"....
Have y'all been able to get them when you arrive and, if so, are the coupons "decent".
TIA

They give them to you when you pick up your tickets at the Will Call window. if you pick up from the kiosk, then just stop by Guest Services inside the park to get yours. Most are 15% off or buy one get one drink free. I'm not impressed by them but, hey, they're free. Each coupon is good for up to 6 people.

Thanks for the info everyone- I super-excited, as this will be my first visit. I'll be solo, with only two short days, so I'm mapping everything out with a good touring plan! It's hard to do, though, when you've never been to a place before. I'm checking out maps and youtube videos to get a sense of things...

Two days, solo, staying onsite, early entry, unlimited express pass where applicable, you will have a good time. It will be very laid back, you will see.
