My ticket options

[tink20]

Okay, I am getting ready to purchase tickets. I have compared prices. 4 day park to park

Gate w/ APH discount (tax incl) Adult $147.89 Child $132.40

Universal website (tax incl) Adult $161.89 Child $141.85

Undercover tourist (tax inclu) Adult $146.95 Child $141.85


I also need to buy the Annual Pass.

This is what I was going to do, buy the Annual Pass on the US website (can I use Flex pay, and still get the ticket?) It has the Kiosk as a choice, if I do this I will save $14 on shipping, Is there a Kiosk in the hotel, and is this easy to do? Is this the one where I would get a ticket (not a piece of big piece of paper?)

Then, I was going to purchase my other 4 tickets at the gate. So, I need to go through the gate to activate AP ticket, then come out and purchase reg. tickets. At 10am, do you think the ticket line would be short? Is there a ticktet booth at USF and IOA or just one booth for both, I thought the USF booth would be less busy.

One last question, If I purchased a multi day ticket from the USF website, you get a $150 coupon booklet, is this worth it. Has anyone, received one of these, are the coupons useful? (I assume you don't get one with the AP purchase)

Thanks, for taking your time to help out a newbie, we are so excited for our first trip to Universal

I believe there is paperwork involved before you get the actual AP.

The Studios side should be less busy so that's a good move.

(I assume you don't get one with the AP purchase) I haven't used the coupon book but from what I've read on the boards, it's not that great and the AP discounts will help you more.
