Universal Tickets with Virgin - good deal?

Guest · 3 Nov 12, 06:18 PM

Hi all! I've been looking around for Universal tickets for January 2013. Virgin concierge has said they can do us the 14-day ticket for $155 each (which works out to around �97 on conversion websites), plus it has the bonus of early entry to Harry Potter and a free gift. Is this a good deal? I want to get the best possible deal for this holiday as it is costing my boyfriend and I a great deal! :P

It seems a good deal to me, but I've read a few things about it being a bad idea to buy tickets through them. But everywhere else I've seen offer tickets for at least �100 for 2013, with no perks. Does anyone have any advice? Should I go with Virgin's offer?

Thanks!

Nothing wrong with buying from Virgin Concierge!
They are excellent.

The early entry is an absolute godsend so I would snap them up.
We got free parking as well so it worked out very well for us.

Ah thank you! I just wanted to make sure it was a good deal before taking the plunge! How early exactly is the early entry, do you know?

If you buy with virgin, do you have to go to the meeting to get the tickets.

you do to get the harry p early entry, but i have heard of dibbers managing to pick it up at the airport by ordering other things

I would buy them. I've always ordered tickets with Virgin. Great service

Early entry is 1 hour before main opening so you need to be parked 1.5hrs beforehand.
As long as you buy something from the concierge, you can collect from the airport.

We are buying ours maybe from concierge this week and as long as you buy the tickets you can collect from airport. I had heard rumours that early Harry potter entry finished in 2012 so need to check that out also free parking not sure that's still included but will know Monday.

I did this in June and to pick them up at the airport I also bought the cheapest thing they offered which was a meal at hard rock cafe, think it was about 28 dollars.
