30 Years & Counting HHN 2021, XXX Let’s Stick This One!

[MinnieMSue]

We are going to our first HHN on Sept 4 and because my 17yr old is pretty scared we booked the 6 house daytime tour to kind of ease her into the whole thing. Plus we prob won’t get to many houses at night. Anyway it says to meat at the theater courtyard entrance for the tour. Where is that? The “grassy” area by rip ride rocket?

Already got my Public RIP tour for September 19th for myself and two friends who have never been to HHN before. Seriously considering upgrading to a private tour (never done private, done 3 public) but coming from out of state so concerned about filling a group. If I decide to upsize, I will post something if rules allow. I can already say if I do it there will be at least two Beetlejuice visits

I have already posted days ago in a forum that a poster
Can say they have booked a private tour and if anyone is interested in joining, tell them to pm you

You can give the date your tour will be and that’s about it
You can discuss the particulars by pm

Since this will be our first HHN and we're planning on going 10/28, I'm wondering what will be the better option (express pass or RIP tour) to experience as much of the event as possible. Any preferences for one over the other?

Similar question from us. While we've gone to HHN before, we've reached the age of being sick of lines.

Appreciate the pros/cons from this experienced group! TIA.

First time going to HHN. I bought the RIP tour. How long are the tours? I picked a 7pm start time. Super excited but some of the family are not so excited

So no buy 1 get 1 free this year? Bummer

Doesn't look like it - agreed it's a bummer. Sure wish I kept last year's set like others here did. Think we might change plans and just spend 1 night at HHN and use the 2nd night to check out the new Sea World halloween event instead. Buying a HHN frequent fear pass is pretty pricey for just 2 nights and we really don't want more than that.

Was wondering if anyone knows when they may release multiple night tickets such as rush of fear? My son and I will be going for the second time, first was in 2019 and I bought the rush of fear with express. Want to get the same kind of ticket for this year. Have a 9 day trip planned for September. I haven't been going long enough to know the pattern of how/when tickets are released. I know it will only be speculation. Thank so much!

I am hoping for RoF with express as well-if they do not offer may cut back on length of stay. But it's early still. And waiting to see if any AP discounts or florida resident discounts.
What are your dates in September? I've got 18-26 at Sapphire Falls booked right now.

I also promised my kid (this is 'our' thing-HHN) that this year we would do a RiP tour-since she got her grad trip to France cancelled last year, and couldn't come with to Cancun for Spring break this year...and we loved the daytime UtH tours too. She applied to be a Scareactor but hasn't heard anything back yet.

Is it odd that tickets went on sale with no emails about it and nothing about AP discounts or Premier AP free nights? It just seems odd that tickets quietly went on sale. That and my confirmation email took 3 hours…

Got my tickets...so excited!

Thanks for posting about the tickets!

I'm on the fence about buying them immediately, we're planning two nights. Check back for additional ticket products?

Halloween Horror Nights is select nights Sept. 3–Oct. 31.

• Save on Single-Night Tickets when you buy online.
• Check back for additional ticket products.
• Access to event may be restricted or unavailable due to capacity or other factors. Direct link

If they do offer AP discounts or BOGO after I purchase single night tickets, will I be able to change them?

Why is Oct 30th more expensive compared to Oct 31?

Why is Oct 30th more expensive compared to Oct 31?

Guessing they'd expect higher attendance for a Saturday night (the 30th) vs a Sunday night (the 31st).

Quick question about the one free night with your premier pass.

Do we need to book those dates in advance, or is it just show up and you get let in on whichever date you choose?

Was thinking of getting the all Sept pass (assuming they do it this year), then picking one of the dates close to Halloween to do our free day.

Hi I finally got through and was told that on the day you are going to choose for using your free ticket show up by 4 if you can. Once you are in you will not have a problem, if not he made it seem that premiere passholders on those days wouldn't be turned away. You can't book them in advance.

I was also told earlier that 27th Oct was the last day that premiere pass holders could use their free tickets this year but I’m not sure how true that is. Wondering if anyone else can confirm this too?

I might be totally blind in seeing this on the website but are are tickets nonrefundable?

But there are only specific nights that you can use the free premier ticket and I haven’t seen them listed. Did they tell you when they were or when they would be listed on their website?

I wonder if Universal will have limited capacity on HHN, like WDW Boo Bash.
Yes, I understand BB is an after hour event but it replaced MNSSHP.

You bought the HHN tickets as well, right?

Normally the tours take anywhere from 4 hours or longer. It depends on the group. Usually your tour guide will ask the group. Some groups just want to do all the houses, other groups desire more time to linger and take breaks etc. We normally do the 7:00 RIP Tour and have been done just before midnight.

About the group, if my family wants to do the houses and others guests don't - can my family still go to the houses? What does the Guide do in this circumstance?
