Universal Orlando Resort has announced the grand opening date of its newest theme park, Epic Universe, as well as how ticketing will work for day guests, resort hotel guests, and Annual Passholders.
How to Get Epic Universe Tickets
Epic Universe will open to all guests on May 22, 2025. Next week, however, guests can begin planning their vacation to experience the new park with the first phase of Epic Universe ticket products and packages.
Specific products launching during this period include:
- A variety of multi-day tickets and vacation packages that include three, four, or five days of admission to Universal’s theme parks — including one-day admission to Epic Universe. These products will go on sale on Tuesday, October 22.
- Reservations for Universal Helios Grand Hotel will open on Tuesday, October 22 for stays beginning May 22, 2025.
- Annual Passholders have the exclusive opportunity to purchase single-day tickets to Universal Epic Universe before they go on sale to the general public. Passholders can take advantage of this priority opportunity beginning Thursday, October 24.
For the Annual Passholder Epic Universe ticket purchasing opportunity, there will be a limit of six (6) tickets per transaction. If you have more than six (6) Passholders linked to your Universal account, you will need more than one (1) transaction.
Ticket prices and availability will vary by day. An allotment of tickets for all dates, including the week of the park’s Grand Opening, has been reserved for Passholders. A current and valid Annual or Seasonal Pass is required at the time of purchase. The 1-Day, dated admission is non-transferable.
In addition, details regarding Epic Universe soft-opening opportunities for Annual Passholders will be released in the coming months.
Pricing for the three-day ticket package will range from $118 to $174 per day ($352 to $521 total).
Check out the chart below for more details about Epic Universe tickets that will be available for purchase starting October 22.
Additional Epic Universe ticket products — including single-day tickets for the general public, additional multi-day ticket options, Florida resident tickets, Universal Express passes, and Annual Passes that include Epic Universe — will be made available at a later date before the park opens.
