Universal tickets?

Hi all, this will be our first time in Universal. Do they give you cards as your ticket or do they have something like a magic band?

You’ll get a ticket :)

At least that’s the way it was last time we went. Universal doesn’t have magic bands.

We got electronic tickets that we could either print out or use on your phone. We printed our tickets and we were able to exchange them at Universal for wallet size tickets they printed for us. If you get front of the line access, bring a lanyard that you can put your card in - it's the easiest way to show your access information at the start of each ride.

I scan ticket’s at the Hogswart Express. They can be paper printed from home, Universal issued paper ticket’s or on a smartphone. Just no pictures of the tickets. When I do a comp ticket I send it via email. Then go to guest services to print it out. It makes it easier to go from park to park. No magic bands, that is owned by Disney.

A few months ago we were there and we had the credit card sized plastic ticket cards. We stayed onsite so they were our room keys, park tickets and they would scan them for our express passes. Super simple and easy to use.
