Maintaining a Wizarding World is Expensive: Universal Ups Ticket Prices
Is your theme park budget kind of hurting now that Mickey Mouse raised prices to access his kingdom? If so, you’re going to be a little short if you also want to visit Shrek, Spiderman, and Harry Potter as Universal Studios has gone the way of Disney when it comes to ticket prices.
Reacting to the parks right down the interstate, Universal Studios Orlando raised the price of a single park ticket to a whopping $82 per adult. No luck to save money by purchasing multi-day tickets either, as those passes are going up around $5 on average, depending on the length of the ticket. It’s pretty much across the board whether you’re ordering online ahead of time or waiting in line at the ticket booth—so do a little online banking to ensure you have enough cash for you and the crew before you leave for the park.
The only park pass that didn’t get jacked up is the two-day, two-park pass, which is $145. Here you can visit Islands of Adventure one day—that’s where Harry hangs—and the original Universal Studios on another day. The park recently announced its first gain in attendance in two years, so hopefully the fans will keep coming through the gates despite the increase in admission.
