Military Free + Companion Tickets

[Brooklyn]

Does anyone know how much the companion tickets are with the military offer? We are considering adding Universal to our trip this summer. It says up to $35 off for the companion tickets but off of what???

Thanks!

They are off the 7 day pass which costs $124.99 at the gate. However, they can be purchased online for $99 ish so the discount really isn't a deal. If you read the very bottom paragraph on that flyer it explains it.

Universal Orlando’s Military Salute companion tickets can be purchased by Active Duty and Retired military service members OR their familial dependents with
valid military or dependent photo ID. 2 Park Unlimited tickets are valid for unlimited access to BOTH Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of
Adventure theme parks for up to 6 days from date of first use. Military Salute tickets are valid through 12/18/09. Tickets must be used by the same person on any
and all days. Companion tickets can only be used by the family, friends or companions for whom they are purchased.
*Savings based on Universal Orlando Resort theme parks front gate Adult 2 Park Unlimited Ticket retail price of $124.99.

That is what I hoping it was not. The other flyer I saw said up to $35 savings. I was hoping there were different savings off of different tickets.

It might still be a good deal....we shall see.

Thanks

Those 2 little words is what sticks you. "UP TO".

Does anyone know if SOG sells a 2 day/2 park pass, and if so how much would it be. I was also going to look at costco for the 89.00 deal, but I would love to know SOG offers.

There is no 2 day pass. Have you considered one of the ITT offices on base? Some of them will even mail the tickets to you for a fee. Give Ft Eustis in Newport News, Va a try. Back in August, they were the cheapest of anyone. We were able to get 7 day hoppers for $79. At that time, the mailing fee was a flat $15 per order and I am sure that was for overnight delivery (but we did not need them mailed).

Sleepy,

thanks for the info, I will give them a call and see what they have!

The military offer is a complimentary seven day two park ticket for an active duty or retired member of the military. Dependants or companions can purchase the seven day two park ticket for $95 including tax. The online price is $99.99 without tax. So that is a deal. If you are only there for one day then it will be 10% off of the regular one day ticket. If you are there two days than it is better to buy the seven day two park ticket because 10% off a two day two park will still be about $111.

DH bought our two adult kids (11 & 17) two companion tickets along with his free ticket. He did this at his ITT office.

They were $89 each.

Yes. They can be done ahead of time at the base. It is 89.99 at the park too but the tax makes it $94.79.

Dh just got them at Great Lakes (ILL) and paid $89 total as there was no tax..
