Buying Universal Tickets

I’m sure this has been asked before but can anyone provide feedback on buying tickets from attractiontickets.com please? I’m looking at a 2 day 2 park ticket but can only get a price in dollars (I’m from the Uk). If I change the currency to £s it only offers a 14 day ticket. Thanks

Buying Universal Orlando tickets from third-party websites like attractiontickets.com can be convenient, but there are a few important things to consider, especially if you’re booking from the UK. Generally, these sites offer competitive prices and the option to skip lines at the gate, but the currency and ticket type options may be limited.

Regarding your specific issue of seeing only dollar prices for the 2-day, 2-park ticket:

  • Most third-party sites default to USD for US-based tickets. Changing the currency to GBP may trigger only certain packaged options, like longer multi-day tickets, due to exchange rate handling and availability rules.
  • If you want a 2-day, 2-park ticket, you may need to book in USD and pay via a credit card that handles foreign transactions. Your bank will typically convert the charge to pounds automatically.
  • Check the total cost including any foreign transaction fees, as sometimes the difference between booking in USD versus GBP is negligible or slightly better when using USD.

Additional tips and considerations when using attractiontickets.com or similar third-party sellers:

  • Ensure the tickets are legitimate and valid for your intended dates. Most reputable sellers provide instant email delivery with barcode tickets.
  • Confirm the type of ticket carefully. Universal offers single park, park-to-park, and multi-day options. Park-to-park is needed if you want to ride the Hogwarts Express between Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure on the same day.
  • Check refund and cancellation policies. Third-party tickets are often non-refundable, unlike direct purchases from Universal Orlando, so be sure of your travel dates.

If the currency change option doesn’t allow the ticket you want, booking in USD is usually the easiest workaround. Alternatively, you can compare prices on the official Universal Orlando website or UK-based authorized sellers, which may offer tickets in pounds directly.

In summary, attractiontickets.com is generally safe and can offer good deals, but when booking from the UK, it’s common to need to pay in USD for specific ticket configurations. Make sure to check card fees, ticket type, and delivery options to avoid surprises.
