Passholder Epic tickets in mid-July

[ccvh]

I bought my pass online, but you can't buy the Epic Universe tickets at the passholder discounted price until the pass is in hand and activated. Since I live out of state, so I can't pick it up until we get to Florida, just a few days before we get to go to Epic. It looks like you can't even check the price online until you have the pass activated. So my questions:
1.- How much is the passholder rate for mid-July? I'm wondering how much it will actually save me.
2.-Should I risk getting the ticket just 2-3 days before we go to the park? What is the chance they would sell out then?

So AP tickets for July are 153 a day currently.
Non AP tickets are 179.

Hard to know what it will be the situation in July.
Right now other then the first two days the park is open and the first two weeks of June there are AP tickets available.

One option (I did this for preview tickets) is to get the tickets and then after the pass is activated get a refund for the difference at guest services. I did this for the preview tickets without issue. The only stipulation is the day cant be sold out. I got $24 a day back and had tickets for 4 days.

Cant be 100% sure they will do this when the time comes, but I'd be surprised if they did not.
Can always call Universal and discuss with them just to be sure.
