How to Purchase Universal Studios Tickets at Costco

Looking for discounted Universal Studios tickets? Costco is an excellent option. Explore Universal Studios packages online at Costco Travel for a hassle-free solution.

Find tickets on Costco's website. Go to www.costco.com and search for 'Universal Studios' in the top search bar. The search results will display available Universal Studios tickets, although they may not always be in stock. Alternatively, you can visit https://www.costco.com/theme-parks.html and look for Universal Studios tickets there.

Select Your Package. Universal Studios tickets are often bundled in multi-day deals, sometimes with additional offers like a 'Go Card' providing access to other attractions. For example, the Go Los Angeles Card includes entry to Six Flags, Legoland, and Knott's Berry Farm, among others. Non-members can also find deals without the 'members only' tag.
