Where to Buy Universal Orlando Tickets?

We are finally going back to WDW after a 3 year hiatus. Our kids are older now - 14 and 9 -- and we'd like to add a day or two to Universal Studios. Where is the best place to purchase tickets? I found one place online last night and a two day pass was $135. However, I've read trip reports of people getting tickets for $80. That definitely sounds more doable than what I found last night.

Your help is appreciated.

Try undercover tourist.com. I've also seen 3 day passes in Costco. Not sure how much, though.

The best place to check for any discounts on Universal tickets is here:

MouseSavers.com - Discounts at Universal Studios / Islands of Adventure Orlando - tickets, hotels, meals

I've not heard of $80 multi day tickets for Universal. Since they've had such success with Harry Potter they don't offer as many deals as they used to.

We usually buy our tickets through AAA. That may save you a few bucks. Universal tickets are pretty much like Disney tickets - you're not going to find big discounts.

Thanks for your responses. I will try out both of those websites.

This past fall we got 3 day passes at costco for the same price that I was seeing other places for 2 days. I know that's not quite what you are looking for though. They are non expiring, if that makes them more appealing to you.

For us, we just go on the Universal website. But we only go for one day tix. I haven't been able to find one day passes cheaper then on their site.
