Can You Get a Universal Studios Hollywood Ticket Refund?

The short answer would be No since most Universal Studios Hollywood purchases are non-refundable.

Universal Studios Hollywood is considered a must-see in Los Angeles and is known for its working movie studio, thrilling rides, and a family-friendly atmosphere.

It's also known for its not so friendly no-refunds policy.

What Exactly Is the Universal Studios Ticket Refund Policy?

Universal Studios Hollywood doesn't offer refunds for any of its tickets or passes.

This means that you cannot request a refund for the following services:

  • 1-Day General Admission
  • 2-Day General Admission
  • Universal Express
  • VIP Experience
  • Platinum Annual Pass
  • Gold Annual Pass
  • Silver Annual Pass
  • California Neighbor Pass

Passes are subscription-based, but even for them, you cannot get a refund. You can cancel your subscription anytime, but you have no right to a refund for the partially used subscription term.

Is Any Service Eligible for a Refund Under the Universal Studios Hollywood Refund Policy?

Yes, you can get a refund if you cancel your Universal Vacation Package.

A full refund is only available if you cancel your booking at least 46 days before the arrival date.

If you cancel later than that, you will get a refund but will have to pay the $200 fee per reservation and any fees imposed by the hotel or an airline.

Does Universal Studios Refund Tickets Under Special Circumstances?

Even if the theme park is closed due to unprecedented circumstances, you still won't be able to get a refund.

Universal Studios Hollywood has two rules in case they are closed:

  1. If you purchased a ticket for the date when the theme park is closed, the expiry date of the ticket will be changed
  2. If you signed up for a vacation package, the company representatives would contact you to change your reservation
