- What is FlexPay™?
FlexPay™ is the name of Universal Studios Hollywood’s new monthly payment option to purchase an Annual Pass. This program gives guests the choice to enter a contract whereby instead of paying the entire cost at one time, they can make a first month’s initial down payment of $114, followed by 11 monthly payments of a lower amount as set forth below. (Varies by pass type purchased.) There is no added finance cost (i.e. 0% APR) or credit check required. Purchasing a pass for the full price upfront is also still an option.

- Is there a way to skip the regular attraction lines?
Yes, a Universal Express™ ticket provides you with one-time express access to each ride and attraction and priority seating at select shows, in addition to all day admission to the Park.* Express access is a separate line with a shorter wait time at each ride and attraction and a priority seating area at select shows.
Only limited quantities of Universal Express™ tickets are available each day, so we recommend buying yours online in advance of arrival.
Platinum Annual Pass Members receive one-time (per day) Universal Express™ access to each ride and attraction and priority seating at select shows.* For all other Pass Members and guests, you can upgrade in-Park to a Universal Express™ ticket for the day (subject to availability), which is available at the Universal Box Office.
*Does not apply to food and retail locations or non-seated shows.
