Tickets remain available for both November Universal Nights dates at Epic Universe

Two November dates remain

With October nearly over, only the 6 and 20 November dates remained on the five-date Universal Nights calendar. Inside the Magic reported on 29 October that tickets were still on sale for both. Universal has advertised the event as limited capacity.

Universal announced the event with two October dates, 3 and 17 October, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Tickets went on sale on 13 August. TravelHost reported Universal later expanded the run to five dates: 3, 17 and 24 October, 6 November and 20 November, all in 2026.

Tickets start at $179 per person plus tax for guests aged three and older. A regular one-day Epic Universe ticket in October was listed at $175 to $200, depending on the date, the Sentinel reported. Entry begins at 7 p.m., and the event runs from 9 p.m. to midnight.

What the ticket buys

The ticket covers all five worlds, character appearances, unlimited berry-flavored Celestial Popcorn and crispy kimchi bao, and Coca-Cola Freestyle refills with a provided cup. Daytime admission, Seasonal Passes, Annual Passes and complimentary passes are not valid. Passholders get a 10% discount on up to six tickets, according to Universal's event page.

Disney's separately ticketed Halloween and Christmas parties at Magic Kingdom often sell out, sometimes well before the event, Inside the Magic reported. The 17 October Universal Nights date did sell out, the outlet reported, showing demand exists for the event.

Soft demand and capacity

Comcast co-CEO Mike Cavanagh told analysts on the company's third-quarter earnings call that near-term demand pressure in Orlando and some international markets was "temporary rather than structural." He said competitors "were quicker to anticipate and recognize softness in demand and adapt their marketing strategies." He also said Universal continues "to work through capacity challenges and ride throughput at Epic Universe, given the complexities of opening the most technologically advanced theme park ever built."

Comcast does not break out parks revenue by location. Its theme parks business reported third-quarter revenue down 4.4% and costs up 2.3%, with adjusted EBITDA down 17.1%, according to its Q3 earnings release. The company blamed lower revenue and higher operating expenses, mainly at its domestic parks. Cavanagh said Universal has a new head of marketing and will bring promotional and product packages, including three-park passes, to the market, with more media investment aimed at "high return opportunities."

In January 2026, Comcast leadership said Epic Universe was not at its intended run-rate capacity, cited "meaningful progress in expanding ride throughput" and said it remained focused on scaling further "over the next several quarters," Inside the Magic reported. Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry has consistently generated waits exceeding four hours since the park opened in May 2025, with some reports of longer durations, Disney Fanatic reported. Universal has begun posting "at capacity" status for the ride and stopping new guests from joining the standby line, the outlet said.

The last two dates are 6 November and 20 November. Universal says prices, dates, times and entertainment details remain subject to change.
