Universal Orlando announced a new ticket
program, called EarlyBird Exclusives, that it said offers consumers
greater value and more flexibility than ever -- provided they buy
their tickets in advance.
The savings apply
to single-day tickets, to a newly created multiday ticket and to
vacation packages. The same pricing applies, Universal said,
whether travelers buy from agents, from Universal direct or from
other sources, such as tour operators and other online travel
providers.
The new multiday
ticket, which Universal is calling the "centerpiece" of the
program, provides unlimited admission for up to seven days to
Universal Studios and Universal's Islands of Adventure for
$85.
Dan Cupertino,
senior vice president of sales for Universal Orlando Resort, said
the new program for early bookers is easy to understand, an
"outstanding value" and something that "gives consumers a
compelling reason to visit their favorite travel provider when they
want an Orlando vacation."
The $85 multiday
ticket also is included in several new Universal Orlando vacation
packages featuring both Universal on-site hotels and partner hotels
in the Orlando area. Sample plans start at $195 per person,
double.
Travel agents can
book the packages by visiting the newly redesigned travel agent Web
site, www.universaltravelagents.com, or by calling (800)
331-3134. Theme park tickets and hotel packages are commissionable
to travel agents.
