Overview
- Universal Studios Hollywood began selling the Diamond Annual Pass on Thursday, November 5, 2026, priced at $999.95 and available with a FlexPay plan that starts at about $50 per month after a down payment.
- The Diamond tier includes one daily one-time Universal Express access from park opening, one complimentary VIP Experience on select dates, one Fan Fest Nights ticket, and one Halloween Horror Nights ticket.
- Compared with the previous top-tier Platinum Pass, Diamond moves Express access from after 3 p.m. to park opening and adds the VIP Experience plus a Fan Fest Nights ticket.
- Universal and trade coverage notes the VIP Experience—priced around $359.95 on its own—accounts for much of the $400 premium over Platinum, and the pass also offers free general parking (with exclusions) and larger in-park and CityWalk discounts.
- The new pass is aimed at frequent visitors who will use premium perks and could help Universal Studios Hollywood drive more predictable revenue and higher-value attendance following recent attendance softening.
