Types of USS Tickets 

The first thing you must decide on after reaching Universal Studios is which type of USS ticket you want to purchase. The options for USS tickets are:

• A one-day ticket
• A one-day ticket and a Universal Express pass
• A universal Express Unlimited pass

With the Express Passes, people can enjoy priority line access to certain rides. They also offer two-day USS tickets, and for those who are planning on visiting more than once, there are annual passes.

The only way to get a Universal Express Unlimited ticket or a Universal Express ticket is to include it with the tickets for admission via Resorts World Sentosa.

The usual USS ticket prices for Express passes begin at $30 and $50, but this is not always the case since USS ticket prices would increase in cost when demand increases. It is always better to purchase Universal Studios tickets weeks before.

The Universal Express tickets will allow people for one time access to every ride. In contrast, people with the Universal Express Unlimited pass can enter the rides many times. Most of the rides and attractions can be accessed with these Universal Studios tickets.
