Universal Express Tickets

Do these tickets ever come up on special offer ?

I have seen you can book them online via the Universal bookings website

Peak £43/£50
Low £36/£40

It was recommended that it maybe cheaper to book a hotel on site but there are only 3 of us so its cheaper to buy the tickets.

I'm holding off making my purchase in hope of a deal as I want to buy 2 days worth in August which can be a touch pricey.

Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you're gong to buy 2 days worth then it would be worth booking a night in one of the hotels as you get early entry and front of the line passes for 2 days, the day you check in and the next day.

I might be wrong but I believe the express passes are only valid for one use per ride. Which is no good if like my son you are planning on riding the Spider-Man ride 20 times in a row 😯

I've never seen them on special offer but I have seen them increase if the park is busy on the day We are a family of 3 and the night at the hotel works out better value for us but we get annual pass discount.

Thanks for the advice.
I looked up Loews Royal Pacific & managed to find a very good deal for 1 night.

The only issue is check in is soooo late at 4 pm

Is it a case of leaving your luggage etc in a safe room until then?
