If Disney event, would be long gone as so much FOMO among their guests.
@ U, well, I’m starting to think that, just maybe, people are having sticking shock over the pricing this year/need to buy private RIP vs public etc. could be only those with very deep pockets (& influencers, etc.) will bite.
yeah - of course most of the influencers will get this for free - probably an event before this one just for the influencers or on the first night to promote the event.
I think this is something they had just for influencers for free in the past as part of the promotion of the event that they turned into a paid event for several nights for the rest of the us.
In general I watch the influencers just to keep up on things but don't believe anything they say - they don't want to loose access so they will never tell you the full truth.
As for the sticker shock - I've pretty much said this earlier in the thread - but beyond base tickets the prices are totally out of hand IMO - to the point the cost is not worth what you get. I am still very annoyed with the cost for multilight express with the multilight tickets.
The FF+ ticket is 269 - that is a fair value IMO other than the loss of the Saturday before Halloween I had planned on until they decided to make the last Saturday in Nov. ( yeah that irks me)
With Express it's $699 - $100 more than it was last year. Its an extra $469 on top of the base ticket. For that I can book a RIP tour one night and have pretty much zero wait or maybe join a private tour - and still have money for a few drinks. That is probably a better use of the money.
Considering how disappointing the 2021 event was IMO - so bad I actually skipped several nights I could have gone to with express and went over to SeaWorld instead. On my last night I actually just stayed at Strong Water and had a few more drinks because I had no interest in going over to HHN - That said if it turns out to be a great event I may upgrade my ticket to include express - right now I don't see the value in it.
To be fair to Universal the cost of the Unmasking the horror tours have not gone up all that much - but the six house is a much better value.
One other thought on the express pass- maybe a lot less people will buy it this year because of the increase and maybe that will reduce the waits - but I doubt it - I think most people just go the one night and buy express.
