I also bought my tickets yesterday (from the US) with no issue other than there not being an option to ship the tickets to my home anymore. I wonder why they wouldn't allow me to use Fed Ex or UPS, so that I could get a hard copy ticket in my hand before travelling down there.
I bought my Unmasking the Horror Tour, and Scareactor Dining with no problems from the UK, obviously don't have the option to deliver, so I've chose will call.

When I bought mine it did give me an option to ship, both domestic or international. It was like $14 and $19. But there is no reason to ship, that I know of, because of the will call kiosks.
That's weird, however I've not bought my actual HHN tix yet as I'm going to buy a big bundle package with Disney/Uni/HHN all combined as it's the easiest and cheapest option and gives me 4 or 5 nights at HHN
I AM SO EXCITED
Yeah but do you think less people are going to buy express? I have a bad feeling that this still won't deter people from buying express
Again, just going off anecdotal evidence on Twitter, but a lot of people seem to be saying they won't be going for the express option this year
I'm guessing they won't ship my tickets because I don't think they actually print the Unmasking the Horror Tour tickets. I think you just show up at the VIP office area (or whatever it is called) and check-in there. I've never had to pick the tickets up before. I chose the ticket booth option. Is it literally as simple as going up to the ticket booth and showing a proper id with a confirmation number? Can it be picked up at any time during the day?
I know the sticker shock hit a lot of people, but we'll see how many break down come September.
Of course, the larger issue: paid Express probably isn't the bulk of the problem. And this will only exacerbate that (honesty is easier the cheaper it is).
Individual night Express is up about 8-10% which is in line with previous year increases. FFP Express is up about 35% this year which is a much higher increase than the usual 5% year over year increases. I think these prices are the new baseline and we'll go back to 5-10% increases from this point going forward.
For me, it's a no brainer. I get 4 nights at the event and one of those nights is considered a peak night. I'm going to shell out the extra $80 to ensure that I get to do everything at least once per night without killing myself by running from one end of the park to the other.
You have to go to VIP services and check in. That's when you'll get your pass.
I actually bought my tickets to the event(RoF with express) as well though. Can you pick up those tickets at the same place you check in for the UTH tours, or do you have to get it at a ticket booth?
My only concern is whether you can pick up the tickets significantly before the event (HHN) opens. I don't want to be in line while the event is already going on.
Im debating it also. I can get ROF and express for one night for about $100 less than ROF with Express. Since im only going t2 nights this might be the option I decide on
Did you try doing it on a different computer? I had an issue with the webpages loading incorrectly with one of my laptops before.
OK, so I bit the bullet last night and bought our FFPs and Express for only on Thursday, the 13th. We will do S & S on the 9th and 12th. I wanted the Express pass to ensure that we got to hit our favorite Houses on our last night in the park. It ended up roughly $415 with our AP discount. I just couldn't justify the FFP+Express for $682 it would have cost us. That way I saved $267 that I can put towards drinks and souvenirs.
