Exchanging Your E-Ticket at Transtar Counter |
My friends and I booked our Universal Studios Singapore® tickets from BusOnlineTicket.com. After we received the confirmation email, we need to exchange for the Universal Studios Singapore® entrance ticket at Transtar Counter in Resort World Sentosa.
Location of Transtar Counter in Resort World Sentosa
Transtar counter is located at the coach bay in Waterfront Station. The coach bay is in the basement. Once you alight from the Sentosa Express train, head to the right and search for the famous rotating globe of Universal Studios Singapore®.
The escalator to go down to the basement is nearby the rotating globe. You will see a bus and taxi symbol as a sign to direct you to the basement.
Once you reach the basement area, you will see a wide parking space for taxies and buses. Head to your left from the escalator, try to look for the bus parking area. In front of the bus platform, there are few ticket counters and you can easily find Transtar ticket counter there.
We exchanged for our Universal Studios Singapore® tickets at the Transtar ticket counter and had so much fun at the theme park together. Going to Universal Studios Singapore® is absolutely a great choice to spend our holidays. We even promised to go and play again next year!
