Overview
- Universal began selling Universal Nights tickets on Thursday, August 13, 2026, for two fall dates — October 3 and October 17 — with entry as early as 7 p.m. and official event hours from 9 p.m. to midnight.
- Base admission starts at $179.99 per person and Universal Orlando annual passholders receive a 10% discount, while Premier and Preferred pass tiers get additional food and merchandise savings.
- Universal Nights promises access to all attractions across Epic Universe’s five themed worlds plus complimentary items and experiences such as Celestial Goodnight, berry‑flavored Celestial Popcorn, crispy Kimchi Bao, character appearances, and a refillable Coca‑Cola Freestyle cup.
- The event is advertised as limited capacity and shorter hours to give guests a lower‑crowd experience, a tactic Universal has used since Epic Universe opened to manage demand and increase per‑guest revenue.
- Epic Universe opened on May 22, 2025, and for now remains excluded from standard annual‑pass admission, so passholders who want quieter, full‑park visits will need to buy separately ticketed offerings like Universal Nights.
