Can I make changes to tickets once I purchase them?

Yes, you will be able to make modifications to the usage date for their date-based tickets after they are purchased.


Are Universal Orlando Date-Based Tickets Refundable?

Per Universal’s policy, ticket purchases are non-refundable when purchased outside of a vacation package. Tickets being exchanged for dates that are either equal in price or at a lesser price will be treated as an even exchange and will not be charged any additional amount. Guests who change their tickets to a date that has a higher price point will have to pay the difference prior to park entry.


Is it better to book tickets in advance?

Yes. Universal tickets purchased at the gate cost more than if you purchase them online. Universal Orlando guarantees the lowest ticket prices on its website and when you purchase direct, you’ll get early park admission.


I have unused Universal tickets. Will they still work?

Unused Universal tickets from a previous visit may still be accepted. Most likely Universal will take the value of the ticket and apply it toward the purchase of a new ticket. You should call Universal Orlando Resort to ask about your specific ticket type. (877) 801-9720
