Tickets (Universal and Seaworld)

[diddldonna]

I already have the Disney Tickets with my holiday and looked at getting the Orlando Flexi ticket but it seems to me alot with virgin? Where do you by your tickets from and how much do they cost. I need 4 adult tickets.

Kenny [?] (Pegasus) does a good chart usually updated every couple of weeks that may help you decide where to get your tickets from

I've used Orlando ticket deals in the past and found them pretty competitive and fast for delivery. They use recorded/special delivery and they send you real tickets, so no time queuing for tickets when all you want to do is get into the park! However there are lots of other sites out there too! Happy planning

Virgin is offering the following:
Universal 2 park = £80 per person x 4 = £320
1 day Seaworld £69 x 4 = £276
Total £596
OR
Orlando flexi ticket for £660

Now if i book direct through universal and seaworld as per online rates at present moment it works out as follows:

1 Day seaworld plus 1 day FREE = $68.95 X 4 = $275.80 Thats about £180.00

2 Parks universal tickets = $109.99 X 4 = $440 approc which is about £288.20

So doing it this way total is £ 468.32

This seems the best option but can anyone come up with a better deal?

Just figured out they add tax on uinversal and works out at: $477 = £312

Haven't checked seaworld and i expect thats the same, so there is no real different? i am so conussed.

Obviously the way you have worked it out looks to be the best deal at the moment. Unfortunately I can't check all the different offers as I am offshore at the moment and the internet connection is so slow out here it would take all week to check the different sites.
One thing I will point out though is that the free day being offered by Seaworld would probably be honoured once you get there regardless of who you buy with. As you exit the park you are able to take your ticket to the booth and get them revalidated for a free return within 7 days and I would suspect this is the case with all tickets.

I think Sea World are also offering a 7 day ticket for Seaworld AND Busch Gardens for $99 (plus tax) which includes a shuttle to Busch Gardens, if that interests you at all?

I just bought a 14-day Universal ticket from Viator for £77 (and a few pence)

There is a link on this thread on the Universal board http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2410909

In regards to SeaWorld, and this will depend heavily on your circumstances, but don't forget to look at the 1-Year and 2-Year passports that SeaWorld offer, because as well as a good price, there are plenty of benefits that come along with the APs too!

We ended up going for the 2-Year passport last year, which was $149, the equivalent of two on-the-day general park admissions. We went to SeaWorld three times on our trip in Sept '09 (one full day, and two half days), so effectively made our money back already. But of course, our passes will now also cover our May '10, Sept '10 and May '11 holidays too!

So, if you are going again in the next year or two, definitely consider it! You also get the advantage of free parking, 10% off all meals and merchandise within the park, discounts on the other parks should you choose to visit them, discounts on park entry if you bring a friend along with you. And AP holders get to ride the sky tower for free =)
