The Disneyland Resort cut short sales for its Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween party today, postponing ticket sales until at least next week.
Disney will honor ticket sales completed today, but it pauses the queue for sales soon after it opened this morning, eventually closing the queue and posting an update to its website by the afternoon.
"We apologize for the technical issues which have impacted general ticket sales for Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party. New sales are paused while we work to address these issues."
Disney will announce an update on Thursday, July 6 at 9am PT, "which may include the date and time when new sales resume," Disney said.
"We commit to providing advance notice prior to activating new sales and strive to make the process as smooth as possible. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused."
Oogie Boogie Bash tickets sold out quickly last year, after the event returned following the pandemic lockdowns. Demand appeared high for this year's event, which put pressure on Disney's ticketing system. To Disneyland's credit, though, it suspended sales rather than allowing them to continue under circumstances where many human customers might not have had the fair access to the first-come, first-served queue that they would deserve.

Legal and socially condoned drinking while tricking-or-treating. That helps.
Haha, that helps!
"Biggest ripoff on the planet, I cannot understand why people pay nearly full price for a half day so they can get the world's most expensive candy and see some half-assed parades and such" - No one is forcing these suckers to part with their cash. It's mostly FOMO and fear of disappointing their children.
When you get to post pics of an exclusive event on Instagram and Facebook, it fills people with a little bit of temporary self importance.
