Recently, there was some online confusion and concern over the initial ticket offerings for Universal Orlando’s highly anticipated Epic Universe. Reports suggested that tickets for the new park would only be available as part of multi-day packages, sparking widespread panic among potential visitors who feared they would need to purchase 3-day or longer tickets to experience the new attraction. We advised readers to take a breath, noting these reports were based on partial information provided to third-party ticket sellers and were not the entire ticketing strategy for the new park.

In response to these reports, Universal Orlando has clarified the situation with an official statement as noted via an article published by Click Orlando:
“We plan to offer a range of ticket products to help manage the expected demand for Epic Universe and to ensure all guests visiting have a great experience at this groundbreaking park. We are currently speaking exclusively to our sales partners to help them prepare for the sales effort to follow. We are introducing products in a phased approach starting with multi-day ticket packages that include an opportunity to visit Epic Universe in addition to the entire Universal Orlando Resort for those planning vacations further out. Additional ticket options, including those for Annual Passholders, will be made available in additional phases. Details will be shared at a later date.”
What Does This Mean for Guests?
Universal’s press release confirms that the initial wave of tickets will indeed be part of multi-day vacation packages. However, this does not mean these are the only ticket options that will be available. Here’s what you need to know:
- Multi-Day Packages: The first phase will focus on multi-day packages, ideal for those planning extended vacations that include Epic Universe and the entire Universal Orlando Resort.
- Single Day Tickets: Universal has assured that single day tickets will be available in later phases, catering to those who prefer shorter visits.
- Annual Passholder Options: Options for Annual Passholders will also be rolled out in subsequent phases, ensuring that all guests can find a ticket option that suits their needs.
