    When will Disneyland resume Oogie Boogie Bash ticket sales after massive tech failure?
    • July 3, 2023

    Disneyland diehards frustrated with repeated tech failures during special event launches will find out later this week when Oogie Boogie Bash tickets will go on sale again after a massive crash left some fans dancing with glee and others fuming with anger.

    The massive technical failure that sent Disneyland’s IT team scrambling to find a resolution as quickly as possible last week has forced the Anaheim theme park to pause Oogie Boogie Bash ticket sales for a week until the problems can be fixed.

    “We apologize for the technical issues which have impacted general ticket sales for Oogie Boogie Bash,” according to the Disneyland website. “New sales are paused while we work to address these issues.”

    Disneyland will provide an update on Oogie Boogie Bash ticket sales on Thursday, July 6 at 9 a.m. — which may include the date and time when new ticket sales will resume.

    The sales queue has closed for today. An update will be shared on July 6.

    “We commit to providing advance notice prior to activating new sales and strive to make the process as smooth as possible,” according to the Disneyland website. “We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

    Tickets for the after-hours, separate admission event on 25 select nights went on sale to Magic Keyholders on June 27 and to the general public on June 29. The technical troubles with the Oogie Boogie Bash website started shortly after the general public tickets went on sale.

    Reddit user Tora76 was annoyed that some customers were able to buy Oogie Boogie Bash tickets while sales were paused.

    “That just seems unfair on top of the frustration of the site crashing,” Tora76 wrote on Reddit. “If sales are paused, no one should be able to purchase anything.”

    Disney’s Oogie Boogie Bash website says completed ticket purchases will be honored.

    Reddit user NotThatDeep believes there’s no reason to cancel any Oogie Boogie Bash tickets purchased after Disneyland paused the sales queue.

    “There’s a lot of sour people saying those sales should be canceled, but I’m sure they’d all be singing a different tune if they had been able to purchase tickets,” NotThatDeep wrote on Reddit. “It’s not like anyone cheated. The website allowed it. Disney is doing the right thing by honoring those sales.”

    Disneyland has experienced server meltdowns during past special event launches that overwhelmed ticket sale websites.

    “Disney knows that they can basically insult their customer base, not prepare adequately, spend low amounts of money on IT infrastructure and people will still spend money,” wrote Reddit user TargetQuestionPerson.
