REALLY cheap IOA/US - tix - too good to be true?

[RadioFanatic]

I found on this website:

http://www.discountthemeparkvacations.com/universal/tickets.cfm

The following deal:

TWO 1-Day Tickets to Universal Studios® or Universal's Islands of Adventure®
Get TWO one-day, adult admissions to Universal Studios® or Islands of Adventure® for ONLY $25.00! This is a LIMITED-TIME offer, so call now to save big!


Is this a reputable company? Or is this deal to good to be true?

I suggest reading their terms and conditions at the bottom of the page. It sounds like a time share situation where you have to listen to a 90 minute sales pitch to be eligible for the reduced ticket prices. Plus, they state that they'll release your info to third parties. I stopped reading after that.

If you go to the Universal website, they are offering this on-line deal on tickets:
Purchase a 2-pack for $99.95 and receive a free kids (3-9) ticket and 2 extra consecutive days.

It does look to good to be true, for a family of 4, that's $200 for four consectutive days for 2 parks. My DH looked at it and a person at work and they both agree, that's what it says.

They need to be used by April 2006.

The link that the original poster listed is not an official Universal site. Universal does not offer the Star tickets for sell. That is usually offered by timeshares. Go with the bonus pass that Poohbeck suggested. The Star tickets have a very low upgrade value so if you decide you want to do another park, the upgrade value to a second park will not save you much money. You'd pay around $48 just see the other park. Where if you buy a one day/one park ticket, you can upgrade that to the other park for only around $10. The Star tickets only allow you to do one park for two days and not both parks.

We bought these tickets, picked them up at the will call window, and used them last week. There is absolutely no differentiation between the adult and child tickets, we couldn't tell which was which. As a result we were able to use the 2 adult tickets and 2 (free) childrens' tickets, even though my daughter technically needs an adult ticket. When I purchased the tickets, I already had an adult ticket that I got free when we went last time. The two adult tickets I purchased were supposed to be for my daughter and myself, with one free child's ticket to be used for my son. I was going to give the other free child's ticket to someone else, but because they weren't marked and we couldn't tell which was which, my husband ended up using the spare ticket. It worked out for us, because the free ticket I already had doesn't expire, and is for 5 consecutive days.
