Let's talk ticketing. I know this has been discussed here and there in the other thread, but I figured it might be a good idea to start a separate thread devoted to it.
The whole situation puzzles me. Are they going to have several Admissions/Entrance Operations TMs stations on both sides to upgrade tickets?
Is it possible that UO will ONLY sell a "resort ticket" going forward? (one ticket, two parks?)
I have a strong feeling that it's going to be an absolute ****show. It's not as simple as just upgrading 1 park tickets to 2 park tickets. There are hundreds of different type of ticket types that UO distributes -- Timeshare tickets good for two days at one park, group sales tickets that are heavily discounted, comp tickets, legacy tickets, and on and on and on. All these tickets have different values and different rules. On top of that, most tourists don't even know what city they are in let alone what type of ticket they have and it's assigned value when it comes to upgrading.
And what about situations, for example, when it's an hour before the parks close, I came all the way from the UK, I leave tomorrow, and I want to see both sides of HP. You're gonna charge me full price for both parks when all I want to see is the Harry Potter section for an hour? (The answer is "yes", of course, but I'm just playing the part of a Guest :smiley: )
What happens when one park closes before the other?
What happens when it's my first time to the resort, I enter through IOA, take the train to USF, and then I want to get back to my car. It's going to be so disorienting since 99% of people don't know the spacial relationship of the two parks. For all the average guest knows, he travelled 10 miles on the train.
So many questions -- Auugghh! :bang:
