While the Halloween season feels like it\u2019s still a world away, Universal Orlando<\/a> is already preparing for the season, because Halloween Horror Nights<\/a> tickets are on sale right now!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning ahead on what days you want to visit, but you know you want to stay away from the biggest crowds, you\u2019ll want to be strategic. There are a few days we recommend staying far away from if you want fewer crowds, lower wait times for the haunted houses, and less time being shoulder to shoulder.\u00a0These are the dates we recommend AVOIDING, if you want to avoid all of that.<\/p>\n

Larger Crowds<\/p>\n

There are a few days that are bound to be higher in crowds at Halloween Horror Nights, even if they\u2019re not the most expensive days to attend. Even though prices may be lower than other dates, if you\u2019re looking to avoid crowds, we recommend avoiding:<\/p>\n

Opening Weekend (August 28th, 29th, and 30th; all currently priced at $114 each)
\nClosing Weekend (October 30th, 31st, and November 1st; priced at $110, $120, and $100 respectively)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a9Universal
\nMost Expensive<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to save money, we also recommend avoiding the days that are the most expensive. Now, these often will fall on the easiest days for most people to attend (usually Saturdays), so keep that in mind. If you don\u2019t want to spend an arm and a leg, though, we recommend avoiding:<\/p>\n

Saturday, October 3rd ($123)
\nSaturday, October 10th ($130)
\nSaturday, October 17th ($130)
\nSaturday, October 24th ($130)<\/p>\n

\nBest Value<\/p>\n

On the flip side, if you\u2019re looking for the dates that will offer you the lowest crowds AND are the least expensive, you\u2019ll want to go during the middle of the week. Yes, it doesn\u2019t work for everyone\u2019s schedule, but if you can make it work for you, you\u2019ll be rewarded on these dates!<\/p>\n

September 2nd ($88)
\nSeptember 3rd ($88)
\nSeptember 9th ($88)
\nSeptember 10th ($88)
\nSeptember 13th ($88)
\nSeptember 16th ($88)
\nSeptember 17th ($88)
\nSeptember 23rd ($88)
\nSeptember 24th ($88)
\nSeptember 30th ($88)
\nOctober 1st ($91)
\nOctober 7th ($93)
\nOctober 8th ($93)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Carl Cupcake at Halloween Horror Nights (2025)<\/p>\n

As you look further into October, you\u2019ll find that tickets get more expensive, as it\u2019s mostly considered the true Halloween season by many people. However, still going on a Wednesday or Thursday will give you the best deals!<\/p>\n
