IT WILL cost adults $66 to experience the rides and other attractions at Resorts World Sentosa's (RWS) Universal Studios theme park on weekdays.
Announcing the much-anticipated pricing on Wednesday, RWS also said weekday passes for children will cost $48.
The weekday pricing makes tickets to the theme park cheaper than that of Universal's other attractions at Orlando in the United States and Osaka in Japan, which go for US$79 (S$109) and 5,800 yen (S$90) respectively.
Also announced on Wednesday: Prices for two-day passes, as well as the charge for express passes which will allow holders to jump the queues (see table).
Singaporeans who were hoping that they would be given special rates were, however, left guessing.
Since speculation on ticket prices began ahead of the theme park's opening early next year, there have been calls from some quarters for Singaporeans to be given cheaper rates than tourists.

I thought the idea of Casino is to "cross subsidize" the theme park? So what does the Casino really subsidize?

=> The 154th probably forgot that Msian FTrash enjoy half prices to Peesai's zoos, etc. If there's any special rate, it'll be for FTrash!

Goh Meng Seng

They did give subsidy. Orlando's fee is $109, Singapore's is $66. Therefore there is a subsidy of $43 (following establised definition of 'subsidy' by MIW), ie. almost 40% subsidy . That is substantial !!

Wow such great corporate citizen, chiong ha, before they declare a lose of $43 for each shitizen entering the theme park !!! ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

[tonychat]

looking forward for it to fail.

 

[Ramseth]

Meng Seng, what subsidize? The idea is to charge everything.

 

[Watchman]

Show them your power Singaporeans .

Let's see which avernue will they get money from to bail themselves out ?

 

[cestycesty]

the whole idea of the biz is to earn money.. its already the cheapest in the world. what else do u want? free for singaporeans.. like that how abt you work there for free... want to play dont want to pay.. go geylang also must pay even if u look like brad pitt.

 

[Goh Meng Seng]

Ramseth,

The initial debate about whether to have casino or not is based on the idea of cross-subsidy that the revenue from casino to finance the various museums, playgrounds whatever within the resorts. It was said that without the revenue from the casino, it is not possible to have the various fun things embedded in the resort.

If not, why not just have the universal fun park without the casino? Just like HK, having the Disneyland without the casino? Now, we end up with the charges of the Universal park being similar to Disneyland! Then why the need to have the casino?

Goh Meng Seng

Meng Seng, what subsidize? The idea is to charge everything.

 

[Watchman]

Are our Singaporeans running out of Ideas of taxing since we are all boycotting them by spending less outside and staying at home .

I guess I am right after all . It's their move now. I anticipated this coming .

HDB property tax .

 

[Ramseth]

Show them your power Singaporeans .

Actually, Singaporeans have shown them the proverbial middle finger by actually just doing nothing or going elsewhere. Refusing to go Sentosa after the prices gone up until they run out of ideas and decide to build IRs. Now they want to charge Singaporeans to enter IRs. Let's see. I'm not forecasting anything. Let's see.

Twit!!! Cheapest compared with whom? Japan ah? Spore got bullet train anot?
Free? no way. maybe 25% discount for Sporeans. Even Msians charge locals cheaper for their local attractions. Example if you climb Mount KK, locals get cheaper rates for licence & accomodation by about 10% as compared to foreigners. So why cant Spore do that?
