How much does VIP cost at Universal Hollywood?

So, what is the Universal private VIP tour cost? The Universal Studios private VIP tour costs start at $3,099 for the two park – one day private VIP experience for up to five guests, and additional guests will start at $375 per person each.



As of early 2026, the VIP Experience at Universal Studios Hollywood typically starts at $359 per person, though prices can fluctuate significantly depending on the season and day of the week. During peak holiday periods or weekends, the cost can rise to $479 or more. This premium ticket includes 1-day park admission and offers a 5-to-6-hour guided tour that features exclusive backstage access to working soundstages and the massive prop warehouse—areas strictly off-limits to general guests. VIP participants also receive unlimited Universal Express access to all rides and attractions, reserved seating at shows, and a gourmet lunch prepared by executive chefs in a private VIP dining room. While significantly more expensive than a standard admission (which starts at roughly $109), the VIP Experience is designed for guests who want to maximize their "Hollywood" experience by bypassing almost all lines and receiving a deeper, behind-the-scenes look at the movie-making process.
