Discount :JPY11,223
Total: JPY4,701
2 adult tickets in mid-August for ~AUD50!
Edit: just got the vouchers, it says:
台湾AGT FDパス-大人
Date of Entry(入場日): Jan 30, 2018 ~ Jan 9, 2019のうち1日
Age Group(年齢区分): Adults [Aged 12 or over]
Name(氏名): KKday-0160
Does this mean I can enter anytime before Jan 2019?
Thanks for doing the math. I have updated the title.
It's best to contact KKday directly on the validity of the tickets
I recall these types of theme parks where for kids. How things have changed.
As in no adults were allowed in?
Yes no adults allowed
You will need to drop your kids there for a day
USJ is not just kids, although when I went there were a lot of school groups and couples but adults are definitely allowed in.
I mean it's all about the selfies now.
Actually not bad now, go on a good day/ quiet day
There is some impressive rides.
I'm generally an adrenaline seeker myself.
The Flying Dinosaur is good, Backdrop Hollywood Dream is impressive and even the Hollywood Dream is too.
The others are also entertaining but not as adrenaline seeking.
I went on a day where you i never waiting more than 40 minutes a ride.
Universal Studios have definitely upped there game since 10 years ago
So sad going in October

Can anyone confirm the validity dates please?
I just put 2 x tickets in cart for December and it says coupon dates not valid but it worked for August :(
Just put whatever date in between now to 31st August
the ticket seems to be valid until next year ;-p
Worst scenario :lost 50 bucks
If you get cold feet on this one I'll take it off your hands. Going in mid august.
Wait, do you stop being an adult when you reach 65? Nice! Permission to piss my pants in public granted!
Over 65 is considered 'senior'
I’m taking a punt
The price worked out to be $20 usd for one adult and child
read online park entry tickets are open dated
Only express pass are set datss
Thank you op!!!
What dates did you get?
Booked end of August
But travelling 2nd of September
What dates does the ticket say? Is it 9 Jan?
Did you book the kids ticket to get a cheaper price for 1 person?
Also going in September and keen for someone to report back on the validity dates!
Yes confirmed
spoke to kk day
valid until 31 August
We are currently in Japan. Is this place any good?
It's pretty good, I'd definitely recommend it if you have the time!
Thanks, may make the effort to go. We are currently in Takayama, in the Japanese alps (gorgeous area btw) but have some time back in Tokyo
Just thought i'd say. Its near Osaka not tokyo.
Cool. Nothing is booked yet and the last few days have still to be decided
I didn't realise how hot Japan can be - it was 41c today and crazy humid
I went last year. kids really enjoyed it and want to go back this september. I liked it as well.
I was there in February. Would highly recommend if you like movies. There are some really fun roller coasters too if you're into that kind of thing.
I enjoyed it even though it was pouring rain when I went. Harry potter area is pretty cool and the rides are fun. Enjoyed the spiderman 4D ride and the rollercoasters aren't too bad either.
Compared to Singapore any different
yes, larger and better than singapore. -also, more modern.
Heaps better, plus it has a Harry Potter area. Gets crazy crazy busy though!
Yeh, take an umbrella for shade, close to 2 hour queue when I went, only the 2nd half had cover
Hi
I just got my ticket and can confirm it is valid till jan 2019
The voucher states a open date for single entry
I took a punt
Figured worst case scenario is losing $20
Considering it a donation to ozb if all fails
Sounds like you will be ok. I am going mid Jan so keen to know if the ticket says a specific date in Jan.
I misread
It’s valid for till end of June
I'm heading over mid august - if you end up wanting to offload it let me know.
What a lad. Good work.
When you go back into your booking on the website after you ordered, it says in chinese under "Important Booking Information":
指定效期區間 2017-04-06 ~ 2019-01-29 ，逾期失效。
Which means, tickets valid from 2017-04-06 ~ 2019-01-29
Yes thanks I saw that too. But Flymetothemoon above said his tickets are only until 9 January in his booking? I was keen to know as Aceboy884 booked 31 August the last day of offer whether his dates are further out like the 29 January 2019?
Haha still waiting for the vouchers to come in my email…… how long does it usually take for the etickets to come?
It does say up to 2 hours on the website :( Although it says instant booking? Will be great if you could let me know exact dates on your tickets so I can book too?
When we purchase it, do we have to give them an exact date when we would go? or is it just a show up whenever and scan the code?
Sounds like you have to pick an exact date but the ticket is open and valid until a certain date. Question I am trying to work out is what is that last date?
You have to choose the date before 31st August,2018
But the ticket seems to be valid until next year!
Wish they are going to have a promo for disneyland Tokyo!!!!!!!!
We are heading to Tokyo not Osaka this year ;-(
Yes we are going to Disney Tokyo too. Let us know if you find out a promo and we will do the same. Just trying to work out whether Universal is until 9 Jan or 29 Jan as we will be there in between those dates :(
Tip for Tokyo Disney. If you are teen / adults then go to Disneyland Sea. Where as if you got smaller kids, then go to the original Disneyland.
Big kids will usually find original Disneyland alittle too childish.
First post so please don't bite.
I'm going to Japan in September with 5 people. Just bought 2 for August 31 to see if it works.
Waiting for the tickets to be processed and it says 2 business days.
Anyone actually received their tickets yet?
Message from supplier:

no actual ticket until 2 business days . finger cross
took a punt for my trip in september 2 adults + 2 kids USD$40 (2 separate transactions of 1 adult + 1 child)
US$40 for 2 adults + 2 children is cheaper than ~A$95 for 1 adult.
thanks for posting OP.
Does anyone know how you get express passes on top of these?
Enjoy the lines guys. This Is peak season, you'll need a fast pass which is about 3-4 times this depending on which ones you get, if they're not sold out. Having said that. I've been there twice it's that good.
Amazing timing, thanks so much!
Received a call from KKDAY to confirm my booking. They said they will forward the order to their supplier with the details and email us back the tickets.
That's interesting considering they advertise instant booking for this ticket? Wonder how the others got their tickets/vouchers so quickly by email?
I got my ticket straight after. Valid until 9th January 2019
This is the kind of niche deals I’m on this site for, great post (assuming everything is valid)
Just got an email - see below;

promo code says valid till aug.
spoke to them .
ticket could not be use after this .
How would they know if ticket says Jan 2019 I wonder? Also which number did you call?
rang SG number. they say normal valid till aug
but they offer mine for Jan 19
Just want to say, make sure you go on a Wednesday. Friday to Monday is peak during the weak and nuts.
and check websites and blogs, Especially check the Ticket buying forecast.
I used that and the longest ride was 100 minutes( which i avoided until it was only 20-30 minutes long)
There are alot of good guides out there which give you updates on how to do USJ without spending express passess and wrist bands etc
I paid standard entry fee but i closely watched the ticket numbers sold for the day. So it was very quiet.
Buying tickets are also very easy through Lawson if you are there.
I know it seems cheap to buy half price tickets but sometimes its actually better to just wait for good days.
If you book a busy day, you will feel like you waited in line all day and regret not getting an express pass or something.
Btw, it is insaely busy on busy days. talking 3 hour waits
What site did you use to monitor park numbers?
To really enjoy you USJ Trip when its quiet and spend minimal money. (I only spent $90-95pp)
Also, usually quiet days bring your own food it can't hurt. Food inside is insanely expensive and worth the risk if they don't check.
Bring a bottle of water. There are Cold water stations everywhere on the ride lines to every toilet.
Best chance is to read guides. So many guides out there, most outdated.
Don't listen to everything or every guide saying you need express pass or wristband. They are sponsored by the companies half the time i reckon
You only really need it on the quiet days ie below average/normal

just translate to english, I went on an under average Normal Day. (not the lowest one which means rides are usually no longer than 100 minutes)
There are links and apps with also ride updates telling you the waiting time (SUPER helpful) helped us know where to go next.
I went on a day which was quiet and the Harry Potter ticket machine wasn't out. I was walking around like an idiot until i asked an attendant and they said theres no machine today, Just wait at the lines. i did that ride 2 times waited no longer than 30 minutes each time.
My Gf and I were about to buy express passes and i spent hours working out everything.
Gf eventually said don't do it including wrist passes ( half hour to an hour early entry).
Went half an hour early (probably best to go a bit earlier we lagged it)
We did every decent ride and left the park by 4pm. Even did a few rides twice ( didn't bother with the night parade, we were too tired)
I think the most important thing for people to realise is, on a busy day is it really not worth your time unless you have an express pass which is an extra $50 -100 If you have flexibility on your itinerary, Calculate the quiet days using the forecast link and you will have the cheapest and best USJ experience (with the coupon especially)
If anyone needs help, gimme a yell.
PS: i went about 3 weeks ago.
Yes got the same. No missed call on mobile and no Australian number to call back?
Awww man, this post makes me want to go.
Got a call then my ticket came through, valid dates of entry shown on ticket is:
Jan 30, 2018 ～ Jan 9, 2019
Just got an email as well when I asked them about the dates:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your message, this is open ticket, you can use during 2017-04-06 ~ 2019-01-29 , thank you.
Best Wishes,
KKday Customer Service
How confusing. Tickets say expire 9 Jan but important booking info and customer service says 29 Jan :(
Just got my tickets. One is 9 Jan. One is 29 Jan and one is even June 21 2019. Random or what?
This is a great deal, thanks OP.
Just booked twice (4 tickets total) for 2018-08-31, tickets were issued instantly. I didn't receive any confirmation phone calls.
Date of Entry on the PDF ticket is Jan 30, 2018 ～ Jan 9, 2019. There's no name printed on the ticket.
What did surprise me is the tickets are actually billed in Taiwan Dollars (TWD), so 2x tickets cost TWD 1,279. The authorisation amount appears as $56.79AUD on my ING Visa card.
Wait. So you have 2 adults and 2 kids at $56.79Aud?
I must have done it wrong. Aud$190 for me
No, sorry. 4 adults total across 2x transactions.
$56.79AUD was for 2 adults, so $113.58 total for 4 adults.
Sounds like you might have forgotten to add the promo coupon code? It's kind of easy to miss it on the checkout page.
That is still a win!
I think I was supposed to do this in two batch transactions to get a maximum of USD200 off.
Hahaha… I'll hand my OzB licence back for this indiscretion!
Wow. Wanted this for Singapore !!!
How fo you get 50?
I got 41 usd after disc?
What does it mean when it said skip the line? You dont have to que?
I am thinking of getting express, any idea how to get it? I am travelling in january 2019, will it be busy?
Got my tickets!
They did comment they needed to contact me by phone but couldn't.
Answered the ticket on their website and they sent through tickets with 30 minutes.
Ordered a second batch which I received quicker.
Tickets are bitmapped PDF with generated lines and QRCode from KKDay - no mention of traveller or dates ordered - only the date range.
Valid till Jan 9 2019.
Also, paid on Bankwest FF Mastercard - price was $56.54AUD - beat that ING Visa!
Damn, wasted 25c by using my ING Visa. 😢
(According to the rates at authorisation at least)
According to USJ website, ticket reselling is prohibited. Also online reviews for kkday is not exactly stellar.
Please share your experience for reference and to avoid disappointments.
They're listed as an agency on the USJ website: https://www.usj.co.jp/e/travel/
That (and the usual safety nets of credit card chargebacks) was good enough for me.
Yea, as long as it is a authorized re-seller, then it is fine.
cant use it, says Number of coupon is not enough.
Huh? They give you a PDF which looks like a e-ticket from USJ, so you just print it off and show it to them.
They do not accept "Any ticket cut or modified, and an image of the ticket cannot be accepted for admission".
I would say since kkday is listed as an authorized agent of USJ which they are listed on USJ website, then it is trust worthy and can be used.
• Good for a day at the park within the valid periods.
• Adults: Ages 12 - 64
Really there is an age restriction for adults?
It's because they sell seniors tickets and kids tickets. This is the adult ticket.
I am trying to decode this- USJB1G1AN. Universal studios Japan buy 1 get 1 adult N…..?
USJB1G1AN
Universal Studios Japan Buy One Get One Australian Nationals
When I enter the promo code, it says "Order should be more than USDorder amount not match".
The original price of one ticket is AUD95.
It seems that all coupons have been used. I got the error message "Number of coupon is not enough".
sigh…. think the code has expired :(noooo….
I am getting: This promo code has already been redeemed.
damn, going in September.
