Universal Orlando raises ticket prices

Universal Orlando raised it's ticket prices today matching Walt Disney World's recent hike. One-day, one-park tickets moved from $82 to $85. The price increases were higher for tickets beyond one day passes with prices jumping 7.1% to 11.4% depending on the amount of days. The biggest increase was for the three-day basic ticket which went to $155.99, up from $139.99.

The ticket hikes are being made possible because of the huge success of Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which happened to celebrate one year since opening last Friday.

Some ticket options for locals remained unchanged however. Such as the one-day, one-park ticket for Florida residents. All annual passes will remain the same price also.
