Posts on tickets that are being sold (Question)

I will be visiting USJ around December. I noticed there are quite a few posts here listing tickets for sales. How legitimate are they? There's risks to everything however is there any best practises that can be followed to minimize the risk of buying fake tickets?

I am in Osaka only for Dec 25-Jan 4. Should I still go?

I happen to be in Osaka during the most busy time for Universal Studios.

Do you think it is worth going? I don't want to be in 2 hour lines and shuffling tiny steps to move forward the whole time.

Will we need a locker for our 2 small bags while in the park?

There will be two of us visiting in Nov. I will likely just have a small sling/side bag my companion will likely have a small back pack.

Do we need to store these things in a locker or are we all good to carry them around with us throughout the day from attraction to attraction? I'm just not sure what we would do with our bags (or any merch we buy along the way) when we go on rides etc.

Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question, I've never been to a theme park before.

Actually ride lines don’t seem to be different under the week or weekends!

I went 3 times (2 times weekend and one time on a Thursday (last Thursday, so no school break) this year already and checked the ride times on the app some other days for fun and to my surprise ride lines seem to be nearly identical. I can see that the number of people in the park are lower on the week, but it doesn’t mean the ride lines are shorter.

I really think they save money under the week to reduce the capacity of the rides. For example at the Minion ride, they normally have 3 lines (I think each one for a separate big room), but under the week only 2 lines were used, so I assume one room was not being used.

I don’t know what they do for roller coasters, but I have the feeling the the lines are also moving slower.

I think it’s not a phenomenon only for USJ, but I recognized that ride lines in Disneyland also stay nearly identical on weekends.

How early to line up for Nintendo?

Trying to save a bit of scratch and avoid spending 50,000yen on express passes for the timed entry. lol

We’re going the Thursday between the Halloween and Christmas events to avoid the most people.

It’ll be me, the wife, a 3 year old, a 1 year old, and grandma. We’re staying at one of the universal hotels. Just trying to make it easiest on the whole family.

Just curious how early I need to line up to use the app inside the park and reserve a time. Also, you think there will be any issues with me lining up and them joining me before opening?

Bad experience

I went today and what a cashgrab this is. So busy you can barely do any rides. All queues are over 2 hours. It's pretty hot today and you have to wait pretty long to even get a drink from a vending machine. They should be ashamed of allowing so many people to enter the park.

Buying From the Japanese Ticketing Site Problems

Hello all!

I've been trying to buy one of the express passes that is only available on the Japanese USJ website, and I've tried multiple credit cards and none of them have worked. I've tried 2 mastercards and 4 visa cards from 3 different issuing banks, and I keep getting the same payment error. I previously successfully used one of the visa cards to buy my entry tickets from the English USJ website so I'm not sure why I can't get any cards to work on the Japanese site.

The errors I get in Japanese are:

エラーメッセージが表示され、お手持ちのクレジットカードが利用できない場合は、

  • ・クレジットカードが利用できない状態になっている
  • ・クレジットカード会社のセキュリティ強化により一時的に取引が保留されている

などが考えられますので、クレジットカード会社へお問合わせください

and

【エラーコード:A(TFJ14V529751)】
お客様のクレジットカードは現在利用することができません。別のクレジットカードを利用する、または支払方法「コンビニ支払い」をご利用ください。[0256]

The English versions of these errors are:

  • If an error message appears and your credit card cannot be used,Please contact your credit card company for further information.
    • Your credit card is not available.
    • ・The transaction has been temporarily put on hold due to increased security measures from the credit card company.

and

[Error code: A (TFJ14V529751)]
Your credit card cannot be used at this time. Please use a different credit card or use the "Convenience store payment" payment method. [0256]

I've tried searching for any help with this error but not found anything that has helped me get past it. Has anyone here encountered this and were they able to get past it? I can try again tomorrow and try contacting my bank(s), but it seems weird it hasn't worked with cards from 3 different banks.

Thanks!

Express Pass or VIP Group tour

Hello Guys,

I was planning to visit USJ on 25th/26th December and I am looking to buy an express pass or VIP Group tour for the three of us (me, my wife and my 6yo son). I had a few questions,

are the express pass prices dynamic for a particular day? As in would the price increase for the 26th December as more tickets are sold?

Do the express pass tickets ever get sold out?

Is there anyway now that I can buy the vip Group tour, cos I can't seem to find it on usj website anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Accidentally bought the wrong tickets

Trying my luck here! I accidentally bought the wrong tickets by one day 😫 I have 2 x one day pass tickets available from the 16/12/2024 - 15/03/2025 type C. From my research I cannot change or move them, I need tickets for the 15/12/2024. If anyone would like to buy them, $80 each, I paid $100. I unable to go between the ticket dates and I really don’t want them to go to waste. Thanks :)

Is it safe to delete the USJ App after the visit without losing SNW data?

Hi, I just came back from USJ and am considering deleting the app but I am worried it will delete the progress on Super Nintendo World. Where is this data saved, on the phone(Android) or the band? I don't remember if I had to sign up for an account or not.

Thanks

No ETA yet on opening for Donkey Kong Country

In response to my email to USJ customer service about if there is any update to when Donkey Kong Country will open by December 2024..

I’ll be going in Mid December and at this point even that seems uncertain.

I wonder if Xpress passes will update to include the rides on DK country if it opens imminently and what happens to those xpress passes that were purchased for December prior to DK country being announced?

So many questions so few answers.
