Epic Universe Ticketing Info, Advice, & Speculation

[DeadSexeh]

Do we have any reason to actually believe that they are bleeding passholders? The stuff I keep seeing on here is my friend canceled their pass so therefore passholders are leaving in droves. From all the data I am seeing, USF and IOA are doing fine. When it comes to Epic universal would rather have a park full of day guests than a park split with day guests and passholders.

If Epic's capacity really is a problem for adding AP's to the mix, I wonder if, as a short term solution, they could offer an "Epic Nights AP". A couple nights a week, close the park at 6 and let those AP's in from 6-12. Kind of a splitting the baby solution, but it might string things along until they can increase capacity.

Alternatively, they could offer an Epic add on which includes a certain number of visits per year which need to be booked in advance?

Or, just allow passholders to buy bundles of Epic tickets at a discounted rate. It currently costs substantially less to buy a five day park to park ticket that includes unlimited visits to Epic than the same number of discounted AP tickets.

Personally, I gambled on Epic being added to APs at the beginning of next year and it looks like I’ve lost. My wife and I renewed our three park APs a few months ago when we could have just let them expire and bought the UK fourteen day ticket which includes unlimited access to all four parks for just under $660 each including tax.

We’re coming over for 14 nights in March and if we want to visit Epic more than three times the most cost effective way is to buy the fourteen day four park ticket regardless, effectively making our APs redundant.

I completely understand the capacity concerns regarding allowing APs unlimited access to Epic at this point, but it does feel like passholders are currently being offered worse deals than non passholders.
