Where can I get more information?

Keep checking the website as more information will be added. Meanwhile if you have questions about the event call 1-800-UNIVERSAL, option #7.

Beat the crowds and the traffic by arriving early. We recommend you arrive at Universal Studios Hollywood before 5:00pm if possible. The event gates usually open half an hour early, and the majority of guests are waiting at the gate to get in. This gets very crowded so plan on arriving early. Also there will be a lot of traffic, especially on Saturday nights.
Due to the popularity of last year, we highly recommend you purchase your tickets ahead of time. This event WILL sell out and if it does, tickets will not be available at the front gate on the night of the event.
Once inside the park, we recommend you make your way directly to the Terror Tram as that is the most popular Halloween attraction and therefore usually the longest line.
Want to avoid all the long lines? Purchase a Front of Line pass which enables you to skip right to the front of the line for all rides, shows and attractions.
