Epic Universe Ticketing Info, Advice, & Speculation

Fair points well made. Once open I'm sure guest experience to book will be much more seamless.

I guess universal just hopes whatever bad-will is created because of this is short-lived. Or at least overshadowed for those who do end up going and have a great time.

My concern, like @Disneyhead pointed out, is that single day tix will finally go on sale and be gone immediately.

Of course, we're going in September.. but it's still a concern lol

You can't buy opening day with a package now. Can you get one anywhere at this point? I wouldn't bet on them selling single days for that day at this point. Otherwise, whenever they do release single days and expanded packages, I'd definitely not dawdle on the purchase page.

Coming from UK we had a 3 week trip planned, Epic was the big draw. Staying 2 weeks Universal, 1 Disney. When they announced tickets come with just 1 epic day, we downgraded to just a week at Universal in total, hoping to maybe visit in 2026 when it settles down.

Of the 7 park days, we’ve now bought Disney After Hours ticket and will also spend that same daytime in Disney. If they’re not quick with single day tickets, we’ll probs do another mixed day at Disney too. We did plan on doing all week at Universal really.

I’m a planner so probably a week until I commit to a AK day and Epcot night instead of a second day at Epic. Didn’t really have Disney on the cards for this trip but something feels…flat…going to Universal Studios with its 20 simulators with the shiny new park you can’t play in over the road

You can still buy the 3-day package, the only package that doesn’t have May 22 available is the one that includes Volcano Bay.

wth, why would picking VB lock you out?

Isn’t it weird?

The VB option is the 3 Day 4 Park Park-to-Park at the top of the ticket page — maybe people defer to that choice and each choice has its own “bucket” of supply.

Last I checked Helios is fairly available. If people are indeed buying these multi day tickets in droves , wouldn’t the hotels nearby have less availability ?

For which dates? I just checked for 2-night stays with starting dates from the 22-25, and nothing was available.

EDIT: The 3rd weekend finally showed me availability.
