Epic Universe Ticketing Info, Advice, & Speculation

[fryoj]

They got tired of Customers asking for free tickets.

I've always been concerned about the guaranteed entry - so then it's safe to assume a dated ticket also guarantees entry lol

I'm really curious to see where attendance is capped.

See, this is what confuses me about the "buy 3+ days and get 1 at Epic" vs. buying a SINGLE, DATED ticket.
No one buying those packages has been asked WHICH DAY out of the window they bought they'd like to spend at EPIC. So... what, Universal is just keeping track of the the ENTIRE RANGE of ALL guests to which MIGHT be possible on any given day? If I'm not being asked WHICH of those days i'm going to EPIC, how could THEY possibly know?

If you are good to show up on ANY one of those days, what happens if ALL of the people for a specific window decide to show up on THE SAME DAY? What happens to the people who SPECIFICALLY bought a single day ticket for EPIC on THAT day?
I understand i'm asking about a perfect storm scenario, but isn't that a very possible nightmare for anyone on any given day?

This is the same stuff that bounces around in my head as well, lol

I mean I guess it's safe to assume that a dated, single day ticket guarantees you entry into the park. But yeah, the multi day tickets guaranteeing entry? I have no idea how that works.

Per Universal, it’s guaranteed (unless capacity).

For the single day? Or the multi day?

Multi. They clarified it on Twitter last week.

Interesting - so not necessarily guaranteed then?

It is but it isn’t.

In all seriousness we're staying at Stella Nova and we are fully prepared to get to the gates over an hour prior to early entry lol

Hot take: UOR is too popular of a destination nowadays to include express for any level of AP.

Sorry, but the resort is getting too busy

I'd have to imagine we'll see changes to benefits whenever Epic passes become available

Nothing is ever promised, but I don't think we're seeing it's removal any time soon.

I’d be interested to know what percentage of their passholders have the premier pass and what impact it has on express. While it’s personally worth it to me, it’s obviously a huge chunk of change to drop each year (and it’s a significant price jump from the next highest tier).

 

[Tbad556]

It's since been removed FWIW.

How can a park that "always closes at 7pm" be too crowded not to offer an express perk after 4pm? The bad faith is messing up the logic.
