Last week Myself, my DH and my 15 year old DS all picked up our tickets!
We all signed up under our emails, and one of us used a work address.
I was most surprised that my 15 year old was able to get his ticket. I had thought I would have to buy one for him once we got there. We all used our passports for ID and it was as simple as hand in the voucher, show the passport and get your ticket.
I did not even know that my 15 year old entered the contest and cannot figure out how they gave him a ticket with ID that showed that he was 15.
I think that Universal wants people in the parks. We all spend money while we are there! It was very quiet the week before july 4th. We even stayed on site and sprung for hotel rooms to get front of the line, not that it was needed that often.
The contest got us there, we spent dollars on hotel, food and entertainment.
It was a great way to generate publicity and more dollars for Universal.
