Universal Broadens Passholder Discounts at Epic Universe, Cutting Some One-Day Tickets Below $100

The company is using targeted pricing to steer visits toward slower days and to boost longer resort stays ahead of Halloween Horror Nights.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on June 11 that Universal expanded passholder discounts at Epic Universe to as much as about 40% on select dates.
  • Those discounts can reduce some one-day Epic Universe tickets to roughly $94–$95 after passholder savings are applied.
  • The park continues to draw strong interest and long waits on busy days while also showing uneven daily capacity that leaves room for targeted promotions.
  • Analysts and reporters say Universal is pairing these price tests with other tools, such as the late‑May rollout of paid skip-line access, to shape when and how people visit.
  • If sustained, the strategy could convert early curiosity into repeat visits and push spending across hotels, food, merchandise, and seasonal events like Halloween Horror Nights.
