Purchasing Universal Studios Tickets Online

Search for tickets on Costco's main website. Navigate to www. costco. com. In the search bar at the top, type in "Universal Studios." The search results will bring up any Universal Studios tickets if they are currently for sale, though Costco doesn't always have these tickets in stock.
- Alternatively, navigate to https://www. costco. com/theme-parks. html and look for Universal Studios tickets on that page.
Choose your package. Often, the tickets are grouped in multiple-day deals. Sometimes, Universal Studios tickets will be combined with other offers, such as a "Go Card" that offers entrance to other attractions, too.
- For instance, the Go Los Angeles Card offers entrance to Six Flags, Legoland, and Knott's Berry Farm, just to name a few.^{[1]XResearch source}
- For some deals, you must be a member to purchase them. Look for deals without the tag "members only" if you don't have a Costco membership.^{[2]XResearch source}
Create a Costco. com account if you don't have one. If you have a Costco membership, create an account with an email address, password, and your Costco number. If you don't have a membership, you will still need to create a Costco. com account. You just won't put in a Costco membership number.
Pay for the tickets plus the surcharge for non-members, if applicable. Once you've chosen your package, add it to your cart. Pay for the package and the shipping costs. If you're not a member, you'll also pay a 5% surcharge on the tickets.^{[3]XResearch source}

Method 3 of 3:

Purchasing Tickets in Person

Visit a Southern California Costco store. Typically, Universal Studios tickets are only sold at the Southern California locations, but they don't have them all the time. If you don't live in the area, you can take a chance and visit when you get there.^{[11]XResearch source}
- Try calling ahead to see if they have the tickets in stock.
- If they don't have tickets, you can always buy them at the park at the regular price.
Find the ticket section in Costco. Items like movie tickets and theme park tickets at Costco are usually with the gift cards. However, Universal Studios tickets may also be in the "Specials" section at the front of the store.^{[12]XResearch source}
- If you're having trouble locating the Universal Studios tickets, locate an employee. Ask them to point you in the right direction.
Purchase the day tickets or annual passes. Sometimes, Costco offers Universal Studios tickets. Other times, annual passes are on sale. If you're going for more than a day, though, it's probably a good idea to buy the annual passes, as a couple of days at the park will cost as much as an annual pass.^{[13]XResearch source}
