Epic Universe Ticketing Info, Advice, & Speculation

[TheCodeMan95]

Yeah Universal wants the crowds there. I imagine almost every NBC owned news show will be airing from Epic for the first week - and they're going to want people there.

Well, time ran out for my family. We had to lock in airline tickets and travel days for vacation requests. So we just booked a trip to Switzerland and Germany instead of Epic (from the west coast). Couldn't wait any longer for the tickets/vacation we wanted (2 days at Epic plus a day each at USF and IOA). We're going to Europa-Park instead, which has always been on my list! I'll enjoy watching the videos of Epic opening days.

Feels like the 90 day mark was a lot of folks’ cutoff for waiting for additional ticket types.

I'm starting to get there too. I was planning on going this summer for my birthday, but I don't want to book a hotel without having tickets and there's no point in visiting parks I've quite literally spent a year and a half of my life in. I got so many other places I want to visit.

There are other things to consider like changes in our economy, that may impact vacation budgets. Waiting too long is even more foolish when inflation is still fairly hot.

Yes, but they also don't want every video and picture to show the walkways slammed full of people. "look how crowded that is" can be a deterrent for people booking trips. I think I'd say they have a target capacity for opening week they want to hit that is well below capacity.

A "controlled" chaos, so to speak.

The insane lines for Potter at IOA and USF were far different as they are 1 land in 1 park that’s new, as well as it being a bit of milestone for UOR. This is an entire new park, with 5 lands, they don’t want it to look like insanity like the other openings looked like.

I won't be making it down after opening till july, but I already have my flight and hotel locked in so I have a bit of ticket anxiety.

 

[Brian G.]

With the caveat that I know everyone's situation is different - Universal's hotel cancellation policy is pretty lenient, with a full refund if canceled a week before the scheduled check-in date.

Didn't seem to hurt Potter

I just hope the tickets go on sale this week. If not this week I give up on speculating when they'll drop

remember when hagrid opened to three hour lines and bob chapek started talking smack? anyway, i've never heard anyone clown universal about hagrid's opening while chapek is basically a verb meaning "to suck out loud" at this point.

I already paid a premium for AP tickets for Epic to visit twice in June while staying at Terra Luna. When buying the tickets I was surprised that 2nd week of June had full availability

Best thing he did was the green light for Deadpool and Wolverine I think and that’s about it.
