Universal Studios Japan(TM) will be revising the prices of the Annual Studio Passes “Studio Gold Pass” and “Studio Platinum Pass” as of October 15 (Monday), 2007. As a token of appreciation for valued guests, Universal Studios Japan(TM) will also be holding “Annual Studio Pass Price Campaign,” in which Annual Studio Passes will be offered at an attractive special discount price for a limited period of 109 days from October 15 (Monday), 2007 to January 31 (Thursday), 2008.

After the price revision, the new regular prices of the “Studio Gold Pass” will be 22,000 yen for adults and 16,000 yen for children (current prices: 18,000 yen for adults and 13,000 yen for children) and the new regular prices of the “Studio Platinum Pass” will be 28,000 yen for adults and 20,000 yen for children (current prices: 25,000 yen for adults and 18,000 yen for children). However, during the “Annual Studio Pass Price Campaign” period starting October 15 and ending January 31 next year, the “Studio Gold Pass” will be available for purchase at 11,500 yen for adults and 8,200 yen for children and the “Studio Platinum Pass” will be available for purchase at 17,300 yen for adults and 11,500 yen for children.

The “Annual Studio Pass Price Campaign” is not only subject to guests buying an Annual Studio Pass as a new member, but is also applicable to guests wishing to renew their current Annual Studio Pass. In addition, guests who visit the Park with a regular Studio Pass (1-day pass), 2-Day Studio Pass* (2-day pass), etc. during the campaign period, will also be able to upgrade their pass to an Annual Studio Pass simply by paying the difference in price from the campaign price at the “Annual Studio Pass Price Campaign Center” within the Park on the day of the Park visit. Moreover, during this campaign period, guests who purchase an Annual Studio Pass from a Ticket Booth or “Annual Studio Pass Center” will have the option to pay by credit card via revolving payment.
*Please be advised in advance that the 2-Day Studio Pass can only be upgraded on the first day of Park visit.

Furthermore, a face authentication system will begin operating for Annual Studio Passes on November 1 (Thursday), enabling guests with an Annual Studio Pass to use the face authentication system - the first in Japan to be installed in a facility that attracts customers - at the entrance upon entry to the Park. This will mean the face of guests will serve as a pass. Additionally, as the system will also simplify the card issuing process, it will reduce the intensive work at the time of purchases, etc. during the Price Campaign period and facilitate smooth purchases of the Annual Studio Pass.

The “Studio Platinum Pass” is an Annual Studio Pass valid for one year without any blackout dates that allows the holder entry into the Park anytime during operating hours to enjoy attractions and such. The “Studio Gold Pass” is also an Annual Studio Pass valid for one year that allows the holder entry into the Park anytime during operating hours to enjoy attractions and such, with the exception of designated blackout dates. Further, please note that guests will not be able to enter the Park with an Annual Studio Pass during “Universal Countdown Party” (a New Year event held from the night of New Year’s Eve to the morning of New Year’s Day) and other special operating hours at which time a separate ticket is required.
