Just having a quick browse at ticket prices for 2007 and I came across this on themepark-tickets.com
Effective Monday 1st January 2007, Universal Orlando is delighted to offer the following fantastic special offer......
Free Kids' Tickets
Buy a Universal Orlando Adult ticket and you will get a kid's ticket absolutely free!!! The 2-Park / 2-Day 3rd Day Free* Ticket gives you three action packed days of admission to Universal Studios® and Universal's Islands of Adventure® plus fourteen consecutive day's admission to Universal CityWalk®**
The free kids’ ticket offer is available on new ticket purchases only of the Universal Orlando 2-Park / 2-Day 3rd Day Free Ticket.
The offer is valid for purchases made from 1 January 2007 to 30 April 2007 and is valid for travel anytime during 2007.
Tickets must be redeemed at Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure on or before 31 December 2007
Each child that receives a ‘kid’s free ticket’ must be accompanied by an adult with a full priced ticket.
Child tickets are for ages 3 – 9.
The free kids’ ticket offer and the Universal 3rd day free ticket are only available for sale in the UK and cannot be purchased on arrival in Orlando.
Adult £59 = Kids FREE!
I saw this yesterday. Looks a great deal, just got to decide if we can afford WDW this year on top of DLP as well as WDW next year now!!

Do you have to use the 3 days consecutively or can you go say Mon, Weds, Sun?
If its the same as they have done in the past its 3 consecutive days, we only ever used 2 days but it was worth it even for that. Now my boys are 12 and almost 10 - I dont think it would work for us!!
I might get one of these but the trouble is i want to know over how many days can you use it over ? If i could get this and use it up to 2 weeks apart then i am in ! lol

We have 2 adults and 2 children over 3, but under 9, we only want to visit Universal for a day though, as Islands of Adventure probably isn't suitable for our children just yet. Would this still work out cheaper, or would it be better to buy 2 adult, 2 children single day tickets??:wavey:

You can choose any three days within 14 consecutive days which is pretty good.
Just rang them and it is valid over a 2 week period so expires 14 days after it is first used . HOORAH ! But it must be bought by the end of April.

I'm not sure how much the single day admissions are, may be worth looking though.
I have just booked mine and paid a 20 % deposit in case they go up with the $ strengthening you never can tell .So the deposit has secured the price ! I had to buy 3 adult as my son will have his 10th birthday when we are there and i only got 2 childrens tickets anyway so for £5 more i have an extra childs ticket for someone else. My BIL is going with his family in August and they have 3 kids so they may be able to use it .
Has anyone used these guys for tickets before - always wary in case they are not legit - good deal though.

Single day tickets cost - 1-Day/1-Park Pass gate price $71.36/ $59.64 total $262 inc tax (source MouseSavers)
...although you can purchase these from UCT for $68.95/$56.95 total ($251)
2 x adult 3 day tickets (plus 2 kids free) = £118 (approx $224 at $1.90 to £1)

If you are not comfortable using them, the offer is also on the Universal website so you could book it direct.
I am now looking at this and wondering if i could maybe do a night at one of the Universal hotels for the FOTL pass. But the website wont let me put in my AAA code or Loews First member number.

OMG don't say that !:omg: I thought loads of people had used them ?
ATD are doing the same deal and ordered ours a week ago
this was posted on here (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=125653) last week

This sounds bad but the thought occurred to me. There are 3 adults and 1 child going to Universal. Is it ok to say there are 3 adults and 3 children, thus 2 extra free tickets. Thus I could sell these. Is this wrong of me? But it sounds good to me!!

I bought these last week and had my email this morn saying they will be delivered tomorrow, great service.
I also tried to book with Loews and it wouldnt accept AAA or my Loews number?

I used them when they did the offer in 2005. Booked on the Universal website and picked up the tickets at the machines when we arrived at the park (you just enter a number - dead easy). They are definately legit - its an offer they do every now and then. We only visited for 1 day in the end but it was still cheaper than 2 adult and 2 kids single day tickets.

Thanks Orlandobelle - looks like this offer is definately the one to go for. I couldn't find a one day ticket on the Universal Website, so wasn't sure of the price!
I ordered a new 2007 planning dvd on there - not sure if anyone else has yet?

We got the same deal on tickets from ATD but they don't have to be used by the end of this year.:wavey:

we ordered two adults with 2 free kids, one of my kids is now classed as an adult so i was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the ticket once we have them in our mits
oh this sounds great gonna go and have a look!

not sure how this works but in the past it was mentioned by someone that the tickets were all electronically linked and had to be used together but dont quote me on that

Yes they are. You need to put your e-number in then the credit card you booked with before you will get your tickets.

It may have changed. As I said, it was Oct 05 when I used these ones. There wasnt a posting option then.

there is no postage option on the universal website at the minute either although last year there was a whole big problem with Visa cards and I had to phone universal and they mailed tickets out at no extra cost :thumbs-up

Dont worry Carys - all will be fine - others have used them with no hassle - and if they give you any hassle let me know and I will sort them out. :)

Carys don't panic. I think people are getting confused with who is buying from who. I think the electronic pick up thing is if you buy them direct with Universal. I am presuming you have purchased yours with the company the OP suggested. Their website says you will receive tickets not vouchers.
May i ask, as you booked over the telephone, were there any extra costs involved like postage or credit card fee?
Can't decide who to get mine from.:confused2
We have just this second booked the HRH for a night in September so i suppose i should get the park tickets to go with it.:D
I booked them with theme park tickets direct . I have paid a 20 % deposit and apparently pay the balance 8 weeks before so i won't get them for a while. There were no hidden charges Leanne so that is always a bonus too.It looks like most are doing this deal anyway and Stu has posted something about ATD giving incentives too so may be worth looking at that .
