Halloween Horror Nights 26 Discussion

[Cole]

Well Purge gets a pass from last year. I don't blame them.

I definitely give them a pass after the garbage they went through, the house wasn't that bad either just kinda forgettable. Would love to see them do it with the intention of doing a purge house instead of a scurge house

FFP tickets are going up for sale on 3rd Party ticket sites for UK Residents.. Why is this important? Well we can see they added a day on opening weekend and the event starts on the 16th.

And $118. Unless they decide to screw us Yankees, doesn't look like a major price hike.

It wasn't a jab at you. Don't take it personally. :thumbsup:

I've just seen people on Twitter, Facebook, and some other sites publish this as news and discuss the merits that the dates released back in November "don't really count" because it could have changed. Just silly to me.

None taken. :thumbsup: The internet can be quite silly at times.

I'm actually glad to see that the event is going to be a little bit longer this year. The event really needs the extra weekend based off of last year's turnout.

I don't know about the rest of you all, but it feels as though the event ended a long time ago. I'm so ready for this year's event already.

Yeah it seems like it took after after Universal posted that HHN video recently with the dates at the end, I guess everyone thought it was new information.

I saw the start and end date to the event months ago, but opening weekend Sunday (and, to a lesser extent, confirmation Wednesdays won't begin until the traditional second week of October) seems like news.

That is, absolutely.

This also confirms the last Monday being included in FFP, which was expected but not certain.

Not long enough for me, I booked 10 nights and hope to spend at least 5 of those at HHN, rest of the time pool hopping and in the parks.

So based on the few bits of info released today -

Flex pricing may be cut back or finished. The Stay & Scream is just a flat $59.

We officially have 31 days, with Opening Weekend including a Sunday finally.

UTH looks to have increased by $15 per tour, so a total of $30 increase if you wanna do both.

 

[s8film40]

While the flat pricing makes things so much more simple I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't apply to the regular tickets once they go on sale.

 

[Brervixen]

£82 quid for 6 nights of HHN... Not bad... not bad... About £14 per night.
