Visitors to the Universal resorts on both coasts can expect changes to admission the next time they visit.
Universal Studios Hollywood has big things in the pipeline for 2016, especially with the debut of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Ahead of the April opening, the theme park is putting into place a new ticketing strategy.
The new system, called EZ Rez, is based on advanced purchases. The LA Times reports that adult tickets at the gate are $95 – the same price as the tickets you can buy online to be used any day.
For savings, you have the chance to make an online advance purchase of a ticket that’s good for specific dates. Peak season, running mid-June to early September, is priced at $90. Midweek in September is priced at $75. Pricing has not been released for beyond that. And if you’re planning to go on April 7 for Wizarding World’s opening day, it’ll cost you $90 under the new system. EZ Rez folds in early admission to the new Harry Potter section of the park.
Heading to the Universal Orlando Resort? The Orlando Sentinel reports that the resort is increasing its one-day ticket prices to $105 for adults, up from $102. For children, the price is $100. Those hoping to go between parks will have to fork over $155.
