Overview
- Universal Studios Hollywood unveiled the Diamond Annual Pass on Sunday, November 8, 2026, priced at $999.95 with a $449.95 down payment and an option to pay $50 per month for one year at 0% APR.
- Diamond holders get year-round admission with no blockout dates, complimentary parking and Universal Express access beginning when the park opens, with one-time daily skip-the-line access to each participating ride, attraction and seated show.
- The pass also includes one general admission ticket to Halloween Horror Nights, one ticket to Universal Fan Fest Nights and one complimentary VIP Experience ticket, benefits not offered with the prior top tier.
- Universal simultaneously cut the Platinum Annual Pass to $599.95 with a monthly option, kept Platinum’s Express access limited to after 3 p.m., and reserved Fan Fest and VIP inclusions for Diamond members.
- The move follows recent investments such as the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster and is aimed at raising per-guest revenue, but uptake and any future changes to lower-tier benefits remain open questions for frequent visitors and park operations.
