4-5 days at Universal Studios

We’re off to universal in Feb. My son is joining us for a few days and is looking for 2 park tickets for 4 or 5 days.

I’d welcome your thoughts on the best tickets to get. At the moment I’m thinking UK 14 day tickets may be best for him.

I have a preferred annual pass so can get discount on gate tickets but I think that would be more expensive.

Undercovertourist have a 5 day base ticket $273. So £210 ish. If not taking Hogwarts express or park hoping that might save a bit.

well your AP will give you a ... very small discount ... simply because you'll get discount on the gate price, which is up to $20 more than the online price when you purchase in advance

so, basically, your AP will allow you to get "online prices" at the gate (kinda using a shortcut here but you get the idea)
you'll save $29 on a 5 days base ticket, but the ticket will cost $21.39 more (all taxes included)
so your AP will save you a whooping 8 bucks per ticket compared to buying online

what would make me advise to go for the 14 days UK ticket is that you say, in your opening post "for 4 or 5 days", meaning you're not really set on how many days you want
the 14 days ticket will solve that issue, and allow flexibility

it will also give you Hogwarts Express (and hence park to park ) which is nice

I know you did say 2 parks, but you can get volcano bay for the same price
won't be of any use for you if you have a 2 parks AP, but maybe your son could take advantage (or not)

Check the concert blocked dates for us but a 2 park season pass may come in cheaper than a 14 day uk ticket.

It’s £249 when working out at 1.32.
