I'd be snatching up the power pass really quickly if it is now the same price (provided the blockout dates work for you).

Order the tickets thru UT
I read on their site they still have UO tickets at the old price
Once they sell those out, then they will start selling the new priced tickets

So do it now as now this is posted, they might go fast

I bought two "buy 2 days, get 2 days free" UT tickets last night. We plan on using them the summer of 2017. If possible, we may want to upgrade them to AP's the first day, with no blackout summer days. Does Universal "bridge" the price like Disney does?

May be a silly question but what do you mean by "bridge" the price?

Just wanted to ask I'm not going until Sep 2017 so if I buy now..would Universal honor like Disney would? I'm assuming yes but I've never bought our theme park tickets THIS early in advance.

if you buy the tickets now from a 3rd party vendor at the old price, those tickets would be valid at the gate to get into the park

i have tickets from over 13 years ago that haven't been used yet.
they never expire.
on the back of the ones that are the 5 day hoppers, it is listed expires 2030.

there was a sale many years back for the 5 day and the 7 day park tickets.
bought some at $79 and others at $99
i have quite a few of them

i bought my first ap in 2002 and have it renewed yearly so never did have to use those tickets.
when i bring a son with me to the darkside, i use them then for him.

Thank you very much!! I am really trying to convince my family to have us buy at least the Universal tickets right now for our Sep 2017 trip....it's a big investment now and it a hit to the finances but in the long run it will really save us $$. I just wanted to make sure those tickets would still be valid if bought now for a trip 19 months in the future.

Lol yes that was one of the major things in my mind if we go through with it is not losing it and I know out of all who are going my husband and I are the ones who would be most likely to keep track of them.

Sooo finally convinced my family to purchase at least our Universal Orlando tickets for our Sep 2017 tickets from UT via a MouseSavers Newsletter tonight. They had not upped their pricing yet and they had a deal for buy 2-day park-to-park get a free day sooooo I paid $199.21 (tax included) per ticket for a 3-day park-to-park.

I got the deal mentioned above that didn't expire May 31, 2016 (which only saved just under $4 per ticket anyways if you chose that deal). We looked at the e-tickets (husband figured it would be easier to keep track of that versus an actual ticket as he downloaded them and put them in OneNote) and there wasn't an expiration date on it..but either ways it should def. be good for our trip. Thanks so much for all the help guys I really appreciate all the information and assurance

Mackenzie for the five adult tickets you have bought, you now knocked off one of the big expenses for your trip next year
$1000 is a big hunk of change and its good that has been taken care of now

Thanks a bunch really! The number got reduced last second to 4 adults instead of 5 (the person who dropped out is known for being a flake *sigh*) but the price per ticket stayed the same of course and still nearly $800.00 (for 4 tickets) is still a decent amount spent. It's such a big relief to at least get Universal done
