Epic Universe Ticketing Info, Advice, & Speculation

[pmorosin]

So my AP expires in a month, but plan on getting a new one in August. I wonder is I will be allowed to by a ticket for August next week??

As long as your AP is active at the time of your purchase.

Got confirmation there from ticket provider that any multi-day tickets must have a start date from 22nd May onwards for it to include Epic Universe. We'll be there from the 12th for 2 weeks, very annoying!

I don't understand? We have a date & tickets go on sale next week, you can start planning now.

If people are waiting for multi-day tickets for Epic Universe, they can't start planning yet.

Until they offer a three-day ticket that includes two at Epic, I'm in a holding pattern, for example. Which is fine for now, but it won't be fine in February or March when I need to start locking-in a fall trip.

Do we know if Express will be an option for Epic?

I would assume so but wanted to check

Express and VIP Options will be revealed later before the park opens.

So does this mean there will be no annual pass options for Epic to start with?

From my understanding, yes

I just asked on X about when we will be able to buy multi-day tickets and can visit Epic as many times as we want. This was the reply:

Hi there. Additional product offerings, including single day and two day tickets for Universal Epic Universe, will be launched at a later date before the park opens. Stay tuned to our website for the most up-to-date information. https://bit.ly/489LKwi

Express and VIP Options will be revealed later before the park opens.

Presumably the rumor about the park opening without Express was incorrect, then?

Ah this is the news I didn’t want. Unfortunately just cancelled our 3 week stay at Universal due to the tickets only including a day of Epic. Just can’t justify the overall cost for a less than ideal situation, with a new shiny park that you can barely play in for 3 weeks. We were reaching close to the point where we needed to book flights so had to make a call.

The single day tickets may still be announced before when we planned to take this trip, but there’s too much risk, and potential cost involved if it’s not included in multi-day tickets.

2026 maybe now for us. But then Disney is a bit of a mess until the new stuff opens too.

This is a stupid question, but based on the ticketing language (non-transferrable, etc.) it seems like Passholder tickets are explicitly for the passholder, and not passholder + five others?

Planning on waiting for multi-day tickets anyway I think, but wanted to be sure I shouldn't buy a couple for me + my family.

One ticket per pass per day, is my understanding. You can buy a ticket for someone else who has a valid AP, but no one without an active AP (at the time of purchase) can utilize that ticket.

Makes sense, thanks!

That is why we are waiting until Feb 2026. Hopefully everything will be full-steam ahead with no limitations.

I c an't imagine Universal wanting to lose all that AP business. What AP holder would renew knowing they're locked out of the newest park. And since most AP's are for a year, solo AP's like myself would probably spend the next year somewhere else.

Been UOAP for over a decade. I just let mine expire on Monday. Too expensive and too much uncertainty.

I am happy that they included AP holders into this opening. I am okay with getting first dibs on tickets on the 24th. I wish I knew more ahead of time better pricing to plan how many individual day tickets I will purchase. Thinking I will buy 2 days worlth of individual ones. Our passes arent up till August 2025 and I will renew whether Epic is included or not then will upgrade when it is offered. I am excited that we may get some soft openings too.

Here's to hoping I can snag a ticket for opening day next week...

 

[twebber55]

This may be a dumb question, when I purchase a 1 day ticket next week will that be for a pass holder preview pre May 22 or when the park opens? If so will I be able to choose the dates ?
