Oogie Boogie Bash Tickets Have Sold Out FAST and Crashed Site Previously

Note, please click here to see all the 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash dates, ticket prices, and tickets on sale info for your consideration before reading more about the ticket tips. Note that some groups also get earlier access to ticket sales.

A couple of years ago, there was an infamously hectic ticket sale where tickets sold out in under a day after the demand actually crashed the Disney site. Afterwards, we saw tickets on sale on eBay and Craigslist for insane prices—some were even listed at $1,999.99. This incident was understandably enough of a deterrent for some to skip Oogie Boogie Bash altogether, but rest assured that the process was much less chaotic last year, which sets a new precedent for what we can expect this year.

Last year, certain more desirable dates still sold faster than others, but overall, the process was a lot calmer, and those who were getting tickets reported that they were able to quickly purchase and had a minimal wait. The event sold out in 11 days, which was dramatically less rushed than the previous year.

This year, there are even more party dates added. These actually will kick off on August 17, before the official Halloween celebration at Disneyland even begins. This should hopefully continue to spread out the demand for this popular offering and make the ticket sales process even smoother. That being said, you'll definitely still want to be diligent about grabbing tickets quickly when they go on sale if you want to secure your ideal date.

With all of that in mind, here is everything you need to know about purchasing Oogie Boogie Bash tickets this year!

Tips for Getting Oogie Boogie Bash Tickets

The most important thing to know if you are getting tickets this year is that even though tickets sold out more slowly last year, you still should not wait to buy them, especially if you are planning a specific party night into dates of an already booked trip or are aiming to attend the party on a particularly desirable date.

As opposed to some of the Disneyland After Dark events like Star Wars Nite and Pride Nite this year, where tickets were on sale all the way up until the party night, Oogie Boogie Bash tickets will most likely all sell out again this year. We recommend deciding firmly on whether or not you're going before the tickets go on sale, as once they do, there's not a ton of time to make a drawn-out decision.

Step-by-Step Instructions On How to Get Oogie Boogie Bash Tickets

These are our top tips for getting your Oogie Boogie Bash tickets when they go on sale next week. See the link in the article above for the specific on sale dates – these vary for certain groups who may get early access.

1. Party tickets for the event nights on Sundays and Thursdays typically sell the fastest. If you're planning on attending on these days of the week, it's best to be ready in the queue right when the tickets are first released. You can also expect the dates closest to Halloween to sell out quickly. Be sure to have a date and a backup date in mind.
2. Tickets will go on sale no earlier than 9 AM PT on Disneyland.com. We recommend getting to this page around 8:30 AM. LOG IN to your Disney account at this point. Make sure you already have a credit card linked. Do not wait to log in until you are in the queue. The waiting room to purchase will open at approximately 8:45 AM.
3. As you're waiting in the online queue to purchase tickets, you can be notified via email when it’s your time to enter the ticket store. Once in the queue, choose the “notify me” option and enter your email address. Be sure to monitor this so that you don't miss this notification.
4. Note that you can purchase up to 8 tickets per Disney account, and different dates must be purchased in different transactions.
5. Reminder – you do not need to have a ticket purchased for the day that you want to attend the Oogie Boogie Bash party. The party ticket serves as your ticket for the parks starting at 3 pm that day, as stated below. We actually recommend not getting a regular admission for this day so that you don't wear yourself out before the event begins. See more Oogie Boogie Bash mistakes to avoid.

Warning! Beware of Resale Tickets

If tickets sell out for the night you want to attend, do not buy resale tickets that you may see online. Watch out for Facebook groups that advertise tickets as well. Disney does not allow ticket reselling and cracks down on those who do resell, and they will turn away people who are using tickets that they acquired through a reseller. This is absolutely not worth the risk, so please do not go this route if you are without tickets.

One option, though this is not guaranteed, is checking to see if there are additional tickets released to the concierges at the Disneyland Resort Hotels. We have seen this in the past, and it is a reasonable option to investigate if you find yourself without a ticket, but again, there is no guarantee that these will be available.
