Universal Tickets

[Staceyl0u]

Hi guys, it's been a while. We did have our honeymoon booked this year but have had to cancel it. However some friends are coming for theirs, can anyone tell me the best place to get Universal Tickets at the moment? Looking for three/four days. And if they just wanted a single day at Epcot would they be best off buying the ticket at the gate when they arrive? Thanks in advance! x

Attraction tickets direct, or similar. There's not much difference in the prices online or the gate really.

Epcot would be on the Gate.

Sometimes Universal's USA site can work out cheaper depending on the number of days required.

the main issue here is not price. If they buy at the gate, they can't do advance FP+ reservation
if they buy online and link to their MDX account, they can book 3 FP+ 30 days out if they're offsite, 60 days if they're onsite.

the price difference may not be big, but the FP+ booking might be of a greater value (or not)

If they're unsure they will go to EPCOT (and unsure they will ever use that ticket in the future), then just get them at the gate

If they are going only one day then FPs are pretty much useless in EPCOT anyway, Tier 1 FP is the only valuable one and you have to choose between Test Track, Soarin and Frozen.

you're right, but just one FP+ for one of those is better than standing in line forever in each of them, right ?
