One of my favorite Orlando attractions is the Blue Man Group at Universal Orlando.
It can be rather expensive to see the show, though. However, during August, Blue Man Group is offering discounted tickets for their shows.
Adults can get Tier 1 seats for only $54. Normally these tickets are priced from $79-$94, so you can save up to 40% with this deal.
As a bonus, your ticket acts like a Universal CityWalk Party Pass, getting you into the clubs for free after the Blue Man Group show.

Not content to rest on the laurels of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Orlando held a press conference this last week to unveil what they have planned for park guests for 2012.
The January 25 conference included information on new attractions, upgrades to existing attractions and shows, and more that are coming to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and CityWalk.
Here’s a quick rundown:
The popular Blue Man Group show will be debuting an entirely new show to audiences in February 2012. Their CityWalk theater is being revamped with cutting edge technology and the show will feature more interaction with the audience. New elements to the show include BMG interacting with enormous “GiPads” (not sure what exactly those are but it sounds fun). The finale will also feature new music.
Hollywood Drive-In Golf is set to open in February, as well. Designed to resemble a classic drive-in theater, one side will be 18 holes of classic horror film themes and the other side will be 18 holes of sci-fi film themes.
