In order to benefit from the special military prices,

located throughout the United States. You must

present a military or US Government Identification

If for any reason your local base does not have

tickets available for purchase, they will order them

your tickets as early as possible. Don't wait too late,

or your tickets will not arrive in time for your

price for admission into the park. No exceptions will

be made.

telephone, and still receive the special military

prices is by contacting the Commander, Navy

Region, Southwest at 619-767-6000. Your tickets

will be mailed to you, and should arrive within

seven business days. Overnight service may be

available, but there will be an additional fee. Do not

tickets or you will be charged the regular price.

You will be charged the regular full price if you

special needs prior to your arrival.

You may purchase tickets in advance either online,

or over the telephone. Tickets can also be purchased

at Ticket Master Outlets and through travel agents.

You may also purchase tickets at the gate. General

one day admission costs $55, and those under forty

Universal Studios Hollywood is located in Los

preferred parking, which is closer to the entrance

for $17. Free parking is not available on the Universal

attractions. This cuts down wait times in lines

significantly, and allows you to see all of the

attractions much faster.

Don't allow the rain to ruin your parade! The park

remains open even when it rains, but if severe

weather is an issue, many shows may be cancelled

or relocated. In the event that the park must close

due to whether, a rain check will be issued. A

of an inch of rain falls before 2pm, and it is good for

thirty days.
