What a rip off

I just thought that I would enquire as to the cost of express passes for one day for three of us at Universal.
⛺️ 270 dollars
And that does not include park entry that is just to do what a disney fastpass does for nothing.
Greedy gits.
I know that if folk pay it they will continue to charge it but how on earth can they justify prices like that

Book a night in one of the hotels and get this for free.

That is why most people book an overnight stay at one of their hotels

Definitely worth pricing up one night at one of the Universal hotels as that way you get 2 days worth of (unlimited) FOTL passes and early entry.

To be fair Churchy, a company will only sell something if they think people will pay the money for that product or service. Clearly some people do.

just looked on hard rock hotel site but it does not mention anything about the passes on there.
Where do you find this info from. As we have a villa for three weeks We do not want to book hotel only to find no passes forthcoming.
It mentioned a pool view room for about 175 pounds sterling but couldnt see any mention of express passes
Linky anyone?
