Question about adding Stay & Scream for HHN

[meryll83]

Ok, so I discovered that when the time comes I can ring Universal and they will add Stay and Scream to day we choose on our week long pass, which we already purchased direct through Universal and will pick up at the ticket machines.
We just need to quote the number on our confirmation email.

However, now I have come across a new scenario - some of our friends are going to take advantage of a good price Virgin Holidays are offering for Universal tickets that last for two weeks. But..... will we not be able to add the Stay and Scream due to this? I don't know how and when they will receive their tickets with Virgin.........

Please help me!!!

I'm not sure if they could add on through Virgin or not since the tickets are not being purchased through Universal like yours. Call or email Guest Services and see what they say.

Any Universal Studios ticket can be used for Stay and Scream. You just need to go to Guest Services with your ticket (not the voucher) to upgrade to Stay and Scream on the day you want to go to HHN.

Could it potentially sell out before the day?
I know the express passes can, so could we pre-pay for some express passes (as these aren't linked to the tickets) and then hope that there's the option to upgrade to s&s on the day?

Doubtful it would ever sell out for the S & S upgrade. It's too early to do anything on the EP's since we won't know the prices until much later. Remember...all you're basically doing is adding on the ticket for HHN to the day tickets...there is no separate S & S ticket...just the HHN ticket. If you do the add on, the HHN base ticket is cheaper.

Metrowest is correct. if you are in the park on the day you want to go to HHN, you will be able to upgrade to S&S. Express can sell out so you could purchase express online but remember that they are date specific. Make sure you know what date you want to get.

The only days I have heard of selling out for the ep's are some Saturdays.

I don't know if they were sold out prior to the date or during that Saturday evening.

I would expect it was during the event on that day.

I base that on the 9 years in a row I have attended HHN.

It is unlikely for the ep to sell out in advance.

The express pass very frequently sells out weeks in advance, especially for weekend days.

that really depends on the dates you are going.
at the beginning of the hhn season, not as much.

Ok, so if it's been known for express passes to sell out, I think we'll get them in advance when they go on sale, and if it's not been known for the s&s to sell out, we'll hope for the best and upgrade on the day.

I will investigate the possibility of upgrading the virgin tickets to s&s in advance nearer the time though, as obviously this would be the most ideal solution to know we're sorted before we go.

Thanks for your help and advice!!
