Tickets at IOA

[Zipadeelady]

Newbie to IOA and just wondering how much of a pain is it to buy our IOA tickets upon arrival? I know I can buy them on line but would prefer not to in case the rest of the family decide that they really don't want to go. We will be spending a week at Disney and one day at IOA.

I know Universal and IOA are great and a totally different experience from Disney but when you have kids sometimes you just don't know what your going to get from day to day. Thanks

It's no more a pain than pretty much any other theme park... a quick tip, though, is to look for little stands selling the tickets in addition to the ticket booths. They can sometimes have a shorter line.

I would double check. When I went to IOA 2 years ago on an why not day trip, they charged me for a two park same day ticket at the gate (~$130), stating that they do not sell single park tickets at the gate.

Ugh that would suck. I looked on universal's web site and I think we will buy online the day before and pick up the tickets at the will call window.

I would make sure, even though I enjoyed it, it was a shocker.

You can even buy them the morning before you leave for the park. I bought them at the hotel before we left (to get the $20 off per ticket when purchased online) and then went to the kiosk...swiped my cc....and out came my tickets.

forgive my ignorance but is the kiosk the same as a will call! Did you do this recently!?

It is different than will call, I believe. I only remember it is directly to the right of the ticket booths...there are rows of kiosks w/ touch screens...you have to have your CC and the confirmation numbers...enter the info and out pops your tickets. This was done this past April....

It is Electronic Pick Up. Definitely a better option than standing in the Will Call line.
