General Admission and VIP tickets are available for $124 and $249, respectively. VIP Guests can enter the Universal Park at 2 p.m., two hours earlier than GA Guests! They will also receive Universal Express during the event, premium viewing areas at the main stage, and exclusive access to the LA Pride VIP lounge.
While all ages are welcome, Guests 21 and older must show valid identification to purchase alcohol. Tickets will likely sell out in advance, so buy them here while you can.
“Pride is Universal 2023” is a fundraiser for Christopher Street West, a nonprofit that produces the LA Pride Parade & Festival and other LA Pride events. A portion of each ticket purchased goes toward community Pride programs all year.
