I just got this in my email! I want to go, but I wish there was more info (like, who is going to be there to sign) before I fork over $700. Especially in such a short span of time when I have my Fall classes to pay for ;x That is so much money, I'll need to work that one out somehow.

I'd like to go! I was looking at their packages and I don't think you can beat that price if you're including park admission and hotel. Now... to see if I can convince my parents to let me go.  Luckily I don't have classes on those days, but I DO have class the day before and I'd hate to miss it to catch a flight.
Decisions, decisions. But still a cool opportunity, whether or not I can make it!

Awful lot of money for this and you only get one pass it looks like so if you have someone going with you they can't get into the event?
This also doesn't include air fare. Jeez!!! Sounds like fun but expensive. |

Why did this have to happen when I have money problems?
I so wish I had extra money right now, it isn't nearly as expensive as I was expecting so if tickets last a couple of months, I may be able to wing it, but I doubt it.
If Emma is there and I miss it, I will be insanely jealous of the guys that get to meet her.
To be honest, I have a feeling that the cast members that will be there won't be the leads, but it will still be awesome regardless.

I can see possibly Tom, James and Oliver making the trip over for this, as they seem to visit the park more often then others, maybe. But I'd be worried to get my ticket and then come to find out no one really shows up or something ;x

$700 seemed a lot at first, but if you look at what you get, it's not bad.

This is so difficult because we live right here in Orlando and have annual passes. But we'd STILL need to buy the package that includes the hotel and tickets that we don't need.
But I can't be THISCLOSE and not go!!!
GRRRRR!! Now, we're still going to try to manage it- I'm hoping an owl will drop by with a package full of money.
The rep I talked to today said they may be doing payment plans for the package, but she wasn't sure. Log onto Universal's website and call the customer service people- they're really nice! |

Just got the email for it today too. But it's so expensive!!! With airfare and other fees, I might have to spend over $1k...
Why can't I live near Orlando?
