Comments on: With the announcement of the Universal Studios ticket prices, is the price reasonable to draw people there? http://www.skyterrainstudios.com/studios/with-the-announcement-of-the-universal-studios-ticket-prices-is-the-price-reasonable-to-draw-people-there Wed, 17 Nov 2010 19:26:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Kingston D http://www.skyterrainstudios.com/studios/with-the-announcement-of-the-universal-studios-ticket-prices-is-the-price-reasonable-to-draw-people-there/comment-page-1#comment-2651 Kingston D Sat, 28 Nov 2009 06:26:59 +0000 http://www.skyterrainstudios.com/studios/with-the-announcement-of-the-universal-studios-ticket-prices-is-the-price-reasonable-to-draw-people-there#comment-2651 I think this is a bit too expensive cause the price is way higher than other attractions in Singapore, since this is in Singapore, its should be compared to other Singapore Attractions instead of overseas ones. I think if there is not like others like Disneyland in Japan or USA, than the price is not worth it, at least it must be as fun as Japan's or Australia's is compared to Universal Studio if really want to compare to overseas.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think this is a bit too expensive cause the price is way higher than other attractions in Singapore, since this is in Singapore, its should be compared to other Singapore Attractions instead of overseas ones.

To charge another $30-$68 to get express pass on top of the normal charge...better income family to have priority and the average family to queue..that sucks..i do hope there should be 2 pricing, for tourist and Singaporeans..for tourist will comes once or twice,...but Singaporeans might be able to come back quarterly if the cost is not expensive..<br><b>References : </b><br>My own views.

Please, this whole Integrated Resort Idea was conceived because of the sole reason of further boosting tourism. We have no natural wonders or brilliant architecture in this country. Due to the financial crisis, Resorts World has to tell us this as tourism is down. Once the economy is booming again, I do expect raised prices as we all know that this resort is not meant for us.<br><b>References : </b><br> Targeting Singaporeans?

Just a brief calculation for a family of 6 (parents, 2 children and grandparents), the cost of the tickets is close to $300 per family not including any meals or miscellaneous expenditure. The total cost of going to this theme park can amount to almost $400. I think there are still many families out there that cannot afford this amount.<br><b>References : </b><br> They claim that they want to reach out to everyone even the grandpas and grandmas.

So far I don't see any specials for Singaporeans for all the tourist attractions, like zoo, night safari, so it doesn't entice us to go. And maybe if they have specials for family packages will be good. I think the prices are a bit high for low income earners<br><b>References : </b><br> I think they should have specials for Singaporeans.

That's insane! Add food and refreshment and you are looking at $150-$200 for a day out for one adult and 1 kid! I complain at Wild Wild Wet and Zoo prices! Anyone who thinks these prices are ok, clearly makes more money than me! lol I will say that it is no more or less expensive than other theme parks worldwide, on average, but if someone could tell me why its OK for local attractions to be expensive just because others are overseas, then I would be grateful cos I don't get it. Expensive is expensive, end of. And as for Universal trying to make it sound like a bargain...are they having a laugh? I don't agree on two prices - one for Singaporeans and one for tourists. Would those people who suggested that be happy if they were charged more than Australians on the Gold Coast? "Oh, why am I paying more?" "Cos you're not Australian"....what?! Expensive world we live in. Justifying it by comparing it to other ridiculously overpriced attractions like the Flyer or Disneyland is madness..."Oh, well, that's progress. Pass me another $10 sandwich, please." Madness.<br><b>References : </b><br> Its stupidly expensive…just to take my 1 daughter there I have to pay, what, S$104 bucks? That’s insane!

I don’t agree on two prices – one for Singaporeans and one for tourists. Would those people who suggested that be happy if they were charged more than Australians on the Gold Coast? "Oh, why am I paying more?" "Cos you’re not Australian"….what?!

Madness.

I would rather go overseas for a family holiday. With budget air tickets and hotels at such low prices, we could already afford a 3D2N family trip to Phuket, Langkawi or Redang for the same price! There is no reason we should settle for man-made island Sentosa?? Furthermore $118 per person doesn't bring you there. There is still an admission fee to pay to enter Sentosa. Assuming you buy the $118 ticket for 2-day admission, you have to pay 2X admission fees to Sentosa as well!!!!!!! The people behind Universal Studios must be day-dreaming in their own world to charge such exorbitant prices. However the reality is that Singaporeans being so well-travelled are not stupid.<br><b>References : </b><br> Seriously its too damn EXPENSIVE to spend this kind of money in my own backyard!!!
