There's really not much else to say here than that. But I guess the raise in single-day tickets are justifying the cost to Uni... so, um, good luck!
The one thing I can't figure out is the Inside Universal article mentioning that you can save upwards of up to $21 for an advance purchase ticket depending on the day.
That discount is only available based on your geographical data. It doesn't show up for all users.
Oh, that's interesting! Do you know the parameters of the geo-targeted discount? As I'm in SoCal, I'm guessing it's targeted to out-of-state guests. Just curious and trying to figure out the logic of their pricing strategy.
I think I am going to buy those Gold passes from Costco soon, in case they raise the prices on those. They are currently $199.99 and have 337 days available.
The lower pass is still $109.99 with 250 days available.
The lower pass at Costco ($109.99) is now gone and has been replaced with a pass at $129.99 and with fewer days available, 219 days.

The higher pass ($199.99) is still available.

WOW!! That new pass is garbage (blackout day wise) compared to the old $109.99 pass!!
Just a reminder, that the Costco Gold pass is going away in a few weeks.

Given that they have to be activated by June 15th, they have to be pulled from sale BEFORE that date. And I have a strong hunch that the replacement won't be cheaper.
THANK GOODNESS THE COSTCO GOLD PASS HAS BEEN UPDATED/EXTENDED! I'm glad it didn't get a price increase like the Costco neighbor pass. Gold is really the best option. I was one of last group of people to have the excellent All-Star Premium and transitioning to Costco Gold last December was perfect. I couldn't bring myself to spend the $600 for the Platinum pass but the Gold for $200 is worth it. Black out dates have not been a problem as long as I get my free parking. Do you think the price will hold at $200 or should we grab it while we can? I don't need to renew until December, but I'm the type of Slytherin who will snatch a good pass in March and sit on it as long as possible if needed.
