Epic Universe Ticketing Info, Advice, & Speculation

[Mike S]

I don’t know… having exclusive and likely less crowded park access before the majority of the GP is an awfully big perk. Would be hard to resist if I had an AP.

My two tickets cost me $340 lol

Depending on price MAYBE I could do one day. Idk.

No one said being a theme park fanatic was cheap!

So am I the only one on here not even attempting this right now? lol

I'm patiently waiting for the other options to be announced/released. Part of me is still figuring out when I wanna' do a trip just for Epic Universe, and since I'm looking at least a two-day trip, I'm better waiting for a two-day ticket.

I might also swing one of the softs, but gotta' wait till that info is announced.

I received the confirmation email that says "This is a ticket confirmation not an admission." Are these supposed to show up in the "wallet" in the app?

They do show up in the wallet, but just for reference. The AP single day tickets do not have their own barcode. To use them just scan your annual pass at front gate on the correct day. (Even if your AP is expired by then.) As that is the barcode these add-on tickets are connected to.

Thanks for the screenshots. I had a hell of a time purchasing these (web browser did the loop thing, app went to a white screen, so I finally called), so now I'm worried that they aren't in the wallet! Sent an email to guest services... fingers crossed.

 

[Mike S]

Yeah mine aren’t in the wallet either.

It might be possible to be connected to your AP without connected to your web acct. calling to verify is good.

Not passholders this year… but have ressies at Helios in June and 3 day tix with one day at Epic.
I wonder how long it will be before tickets for non-APs go on sale.
I’m can’t wait- SO excited!
You all that have tickets already are so lucky!

I'm wondering how packed Epic will actually be the first while. Selling only one and eventually two day tickets is pretty expensive considering all of the promos for free days that are regularly out there and, of course, APs. How many diehards normally buy 1 day tickets?

I posted this elsewhere but I feel like there should have been an AP discount depending on what tier AP you have along with a limit to the number of tickets you could purchase.

Something like 35% off if you have premiere, 25% if preferred, etc..., maximum of 2-4 tickets each.

Because right now I'm looking at $900 for the AP, then if I want 3 days at epic another $450ish. Wowl.

I think that’s what the woman on the phone told me but then you posted the screenshot of the tickets in your app. All I see is my AP.

Even as of this morning without a crazy rush, trying to buy the pass holder tickets from mobile, laptop or any other device I used loads me in then spits me out back to the start. I hope this isn't a permanent issue with my account.

Dude just call them on the phone. I’m proof that it works.

How often does a brand new park open? This isn't normal circumstances. If you want to be one of the first in, you have to pay. If you aren't going till June or later, it doesn't make a lot of sense to buy these 1 day AP tickets.

Yup! 2 nights at Helios, so waiting on 2 day tickets. Looking forward to seeing what previews will be like/when and if I can swing it!

Yes, that is what I am talking about: August and later. Everyone will essentially be paying at one day (or eventually 2 day) rates for the foreseeable future. I can't seeing them offering longer and therefore cheaper per day tickets as that would piss off AP holders who just bought a few one day tickets for say October.

FYI - Visited guest services last night, and while I didn't get a confirmation code or my ticket has yet to show up under the wallet, they were able to confirm that the transaction went through but can take up to 48 hours to fully process. (They were able to identify when my ticket was purchased, so I'd just be patient.)

Also, you can actually use your standard (active) AP barcode to scan in, you don't need a separate code. You can actually do this for HHN as long as the ticket is linked to the correct person.

If Uni doesn't see the demand they expected, they can easily offer AP sales and just allow the purchase of a 1-day ticket as a credit to upgrade.

Still no email or tickets in the wallet as of now. Ordered the tickets at 5:59am yesterday morning, per my screenshot. Just got off the phone with guest services who said the system is laggy and it could take 48-72 hours (guess they extended it from 24 hrs) for the email/tickets to pop up. She said as long as we have the confirmation number, it should be fine. Still kinda worried but I guess I'll continue to wait
