Official 2022 HHN 31 - Horror is Universal

[FoxC63]

Hi Everyone,

First time going to HHN..so excited! Going on Sat Sept 17th. In your opinion can you get everything done with just the express pass? or is the RIP tour better and worth the cost? Thanks!

Most first timers do not know how to navigate HHN despite doing their due diligence to research thoroughly. Often times they go into the event with a plan but often loose their focus. It happens, even to the most experienced.

Saturday is going to be busy. Ticket and Express will cost around $240 and a Public RIP $349/$447 with HHN ticket, for slightly over $204 more and being a 1st timer, I'd go with a tour. I think there's more value in a tour compared with just tickets and a maybe plan.

Edit to add: HHN Event Ticket $98 with RIP Tour $447+ per @lcc2

Triple yikes. Was really looking fwd to a HHN return. Was going to be the 1st year I treated myself to Express, but really UO - a 45% increase over last year? 10-20% more fine...but I just can't justify 45%. I don't like to feel ripped off - it would lessen my enjoyment of the event.

Howl O'Scream, here I come again.

I am curious though: if the markets continue to decline this summer/fall and we near or enter a recession, wonder if UO will still try to jack up EP rates even further like last year.

If I was going solo, I would totally do RIP instead of Express! Too many things in the way of me doing a RIP tour for a few years. But it's definitely on my wishlist!

Would need the separate event admission ticket on top of RIP tour

I can see this happening and not just at UO. They'll need to cushion themselves for the slow times ahead.

I’m not sure I’m following the math of a 45% increase over last year. I had HHN EP two weeknights last year in the first week of October and paid $129.99 each night - and that’s exactly the same price for the corresponding nights this year. I did buy my tickets and EP after last year’s price increase, but still, the prices listed now seem to be roughly, if not exactly, the same as they were when I purchased last year.

1st 2 weeks of Oct bumps up against Columbus Day and school holidays- may have been a higher priced time to begin with?

Last year my late Oct midweek date was $89: that same day now costs $129. I do see some higher priced dates didn't change much from last year. Seems like busier times/wknds may actually be a better value this year? Crowded, but at least later event hours.

Attending midweek, they close 1 hour earlier, but I'd now be paying 45% more vs before.

Don't have time to do the math but I certainly see some price increases that really hurt, especially the last Wednesday in October, $79.99 now $129.99 - yeah, no thanks!

I agree. Me and my partner could go twice with a regular ticket and it's still cheaper than 1 express pass

I just got back from grocery shopping. It must be my lucky day, I was stuck in two isles with the same woman toting her 4/5 yr old son and gorgeous arm candy. Anyway, shocked at her language every time she picked up an item off the shelf and tossed it into her cart, I couldn't get away quick enough! Some may think the F bomb means fart but in the real world.... that poor kid!
The lessons our parents teach us, huh? What a nut!

@Stitch813 ,
Let me know if you want to be added to the HHN 2022 Never Go Alone - Guest List

@keishashadow & @macraven we need some Universal emojis added to the DIS!

Did anyone buy the half off after 10 (or after 11 on wknds) express pass last year? Just wondering if they're still offering that deal on the nights it doesn't sell out.

I think it’s worth noting that the 2021 screen shot is from BEFORE the all-around price increase last year on HHN EPs…. so while I get it that it’s technically comparing the ”original” prices last year to this year, it’s also relevant, I think, that very shortly after those original prices were released, everything was hiked to prices that were very similar indeed to this year’s prices.

I can't wait to go! I wish I lived closer so I could go as much as I wanted!
