  • The website was easy to use and the price for the tickets was good. I liked that we were able to pay a deposit when booking the tickets and then pay the balance in instalments before our trip. The tickets were easy to download once the balance had been paid and we had no problem linking the tickets to the Universal App or using the tickets at the parks.

  • Price was good at time of purchase ( could have done better later, but there`s also a risk the prices will rise), they were digital tickets which were easy to use, although we did sometimes worry about phones going flat. We made full use of the 14 days choosing to alternate between Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay. Prices on the gate are relatively high in comparison.
