Universal Tickets - how much?!

Standfield · 27 Jul 18, 04:55 PM

All set to book Universal tickets for our trip in September, monitoring them in the run up. A week or so ago, I was looking at paying Ł235, best case scenario, for 14 day park-park tickets. It has now shot up to Ł268 (Expedia) there goes my 12% cashback :-(

Does anyone have any rational explanation for this sudden increase given that the exchange rate has been pretty consistent at the 1.30 mark for the last couple of months. I'm unhappy!

I feel your pain. I too missed out on the low prices last week

2 park annual pass is Ł218 providing you don’t want to go in July or December.

Quite a saving if you have water park tickets elsewhere.

With tax it ends up being about Ł232.

I'm tempted.

It’s $100 dollars more for the one with free parking so as long as you visit more than 4 times it’s worth it.

As a family of 4 we bought 3 cheap ones and 1 free parking one.

The problem of course is that you then think of going more than once to “get your money worth” and costs you so much more !

Just picked up a Ł3000 2a 2c last two weeks of the summer holiday deal !

How disappointing!

Thanks for the replies. Realistically, I’m only really going to get 2-3 days at Universal. Undercover tourist are doing two days plus 1 free day for a fairly reasonable price. Anyone booked with them and can give them the thumbs up?

I've bought Disney tickets from them a couple of times with no problems at all. No hesitation in recommending them.
