We fly primarily SWA and my last three scheduled nonstops (2018/2019) were all cancelled. Hoping our current nonstops for HHN30 are not cancelled.

Remember: check to see if you can change your flights for free with SWA. Sometimes when they do changes and add stops they’ll let you do that.

Even if that was the case, longer queue lines = more express sales = more money for Comcast

But why would universal want less people spending money? Good for consumer? Maybe. Good for business? Nope.

your rationale is making no sense…
you almost certainly will not. You run the much bigger risk of someone saying “Screw it I’ll just skip the event”

From the perspective as someone traveling to the event, I don't just buy the numbers of nights I would've gotten if there was ROF or FFP.
HHN now has to re-earn each night that would've been wrapped up in 1 transaction.
If I know Saturdays are the worst, am I now going to pay a premium for the privilege of being in that crowd? No. I'd look into going somewhere else that night and then they lose the spend they would've had. Multiply that by each night you expected to go and the math gets very fuzzy.
With ROF/FFP I will be attending 10 nights(including on site hotel stays) and without I would only be attending 2 nights. While this is only my personal situation, I have to imagine the net loss of removing ROF/FFP would be significant.
Yea. I've got 4 nights planned for my trip and I was planning on getting express with my pass. If multinight passes didn't happen (they are happening, people just need to relax), I'd go maybe 2 nights and only get express for one of them. That's 2 nights of lost revenue from me.

And likely one night gained at HOS.

Yep. Just think about all the booze they will sell to people who come 5-6-7 nights because they have ROF or FF. Imagine all the booze they WONT sell if that number for people drops to 2.
I can personally account for about 7 orders of pizza fries in a 4 day trip. :grin::grin::grin:

Same. We typically go for 6 to 7 days and do the FFP. We definitely spend more on any given day on food and booze than the cost of a daily ticket.

Yeah...not having BOGO or FFP would turn a lot of people off given the price of single night tickets and express.
No way that's happening.

My group does Stay and Scream every night we're in town at Finnegan's (yes, insert jokes about the Finnegan's people). We go a good 30min before the park closes to get a table, order full meals and several rounds of drinks. We run up a $200-$300 bill each night depending on how many adult beverages we have. We're HOPING to go 5 nights this year ASSUMING they have the ROF+Express we always get. So between the time the park closes, to the time of the event starting, we'll probably be dropping $1,250 in park during our time there. Not an insignificant amount of cash from 6 guys.
We also buy APs so we get free parking, can do the parks in the day, and get a discount on Merch. That's probably $350+ each for that pass. Then we all buy the RoF+Express so probably another $350+.
And none of us live anywhere near Florida. So those tickets are really only for 5-7 days per year. So we're each paying at least $100 per day that we are at the parks on tickets only. Then at least $100 more each for food and beverages. Then tons of merch and some of us doing the 6-house UTH tour. We usually go to Pat O'Briens a night or two after HHN. So that probably averages out to about $250-$300 per HHN day/night for each of us.
If they got rid of multiday tickets, I think we'd probably only do 2 nights (with the possibility to buy another one if it's super awesome) with no express and then probably buy the SeaWorld pass to go 3 other nights for $80 and blow all kinds of cash on drinks and food there. Instead of an AP, might just get one of the 3-day 2-park passes that you can get on Tickets at Work for under $200. Don't really need the AP if we aren't doing Stay and Scream every night.
That's just one group, but a good and accurate outline of how the lack of multinight tickets would affect the amount of cash we dump into the parks.

Same for me and my group. I almost always do Stay and Scream at Finnegans and get a table there. Besides that we buy the AP for Stay and Scream, stay on site and buy plenty of Merch and UTH Tour. If there would be no multi night ticket (we normally get ROF+) we would probably end up only spending two nights there and do express for one night. We would not spend time at the Finnegans Stay and Scream and would just go to Simpsons for the houses. Plus we would definitely not buy as much additional food & beverages from the tents. In 2019 I alone spend almost 1,3k on HHN (Merch, Tour, Food, Drinks, Hotel and ROF+ Ticket)

So that I can get the small part of my brain to shut up, Legendary Truth isn't a last-minute to replace an IP right? It isn't a Scream-->Purge/AHS-->Evil Dead situation?
