Universal Orlando Express Pass

Hi all,

Just wondering if somebody can help me with a query about Universal's express passes.

In the past, whenever I have purchased express passes directly from the main Universal website I have always received an order confirmation number and told to print this off and present it at the ticket window to collect. However, on this occasion I decided to buy it from universal-bookings.co.uk along with the 14 day 2-park tickets so that I didn't need to split the purchases. The usual 14 day tickets turned up, but I also got two tickets for the express passes which says to present them at the ticket window and exchange for them.

I am most likely just being paranoid here, but are they legitimate? They look it and have barcodes etc, but the reason I'm confused is because it's just very different to how I'm used to collecting the passes and I have not heard of anybody before being given tickets/vouchers to take to the window to exchange for the passes. Usually, it's just a confirmation number to print off and take with you, so I am a little confused about whether these tickets are legitimate given that it's the first time I have used a third-party seller and the above site was the only one which appeared to sell express passes. I would hate to travel all that way and queue up, just to be told that they have no idea what these express exchange vouchers even are.

Anybody got any experience buying passes through the UK universal-bookings website and been able to exchange these vouchers without issue?

Thanks!

Looks like this is just another site for attraction tickets direct so would be legit. Don't think it's anything to be concerned about, just booking through an agent tends to have a slightly different way of presenting the ticket.
