I'm even exaggerating when I say Universal Sudios Singapore has been my second home for years — with its affordable student season pass priced at S$88 (usual one day pass price for adults: S$74), it's not hard to see why USS was my favourite hangout as a student. But what I didn't know was how I could get the student season pass at a discounted price, way cheaper than it's usual price. Life hack courtesy of my BFF who's as cheapskate as me. If you're an adult, here's how you can get your pass for a discount too!


First, you have to understand the two usual ways of purchasing the RWS' Student Attraction Season Pass (be it Universal Studios Singapore, SEA Aquarium or Adventure Cove):

1. You go to the ticketing booth, ask for the student season pass directly and pay S$98 OR
2. You purchase a one day pass at S$58 ~ S$75, enjoy yourself in USS and at the end of the day, you request to upgrade your day pass to a season pass for an additional S$14 at the visitor's center.

Leveraging on the second option, my BFF got her USS student season pass for approximately S$11 cheaper in two simple steps. That's one movie ticket, y'all.

1) Buy your USS tickets online

USS tickets are cheaper online so grab your tickets online first. Another plus point is that you don't have to queue up at ticketing booths if you've already gotten your tickets online.

I recommend purchasing your USS tickets from authorised distributors like the one my BFF used.

• USS tickets from Voyagin (with instant confirmation)
• USS tickets from KKday

If you're getting more than one ticket, you can consider searching for USS tickets on Carousell as well. Tickets on Carousell start from $58 and you can negotiate with the seller! However, do note that as sellers on Carousell are not authorised distributors so USS deserve the rights to disallow the upgrade.

The safest way, in my opinion, is to still use authorised distributors online.

2) Upgrade to student season pass before you leave USS

You'll be required to pay S$14 to upgrade to a USS student season pass.

Membership privileges as a season pass holder

As mentioned, my BFF got her USS tickets from online travel platform, a tried and tested method by her — I can't guarantee if this discount works with other tour providers because they don't all provide the same e-tickets. Your best bet, if you aren't a risk-taker, is getting tickets from Voyagin.


Go forth and enjoy your unlimited entries to USS for six months!
