Unforgettable Mess - Oogie Boogie Bash Ticket Disaster 2023
If you’re a Disney fan eagerly anticipating the Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland, chances are you experienced the ticketing nightmare that unfolded in 2023. The online ticket sales for this highly anticipated event turned into an absolute disaster, leaving fans frustrated, disappointed, and questioning the efficiency of the Disneyland website. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the details of what transpired and the impact it had on Disney enthusiasts.
Ticket Sales Paused
On the day of the ticket release, hopeful attendees encountered a shocking message on the Disneyland website: “All sales have been paused. Stay in the queue.” This happened 8 minutes after the queue had opened up. Normally when this happens it just means that it’s a long line. But this unexpected development left many fans puzzled and anxious about whether they would be able to secure tickets at all. The frustration was palpable, as fans expressed their disappointment and concerns across various Disneyland groups and forums.
Technical Glitches and Endless Waiting
As fans waited in the online queue, hoping for a resolution, the situation took a turn for the worse. Reports started surfacing that some individuals were experiencing double or even triple charges for their ticket purchases. Imagine eagerly buying four tickets and discovering that your credit card had been charged for eight or twelve instead. This added another layer of frustration and confusion to an already chaotic situation. People were then rushing to check their bank statements, I know we did to double check if we got that extra charge as well.
Disney Fanatics Frustration
For many individuals, the Oogie Boogie Bash was the main reason for planning a Disneyland trip. Some individuals expressed their frustrations by stating that they might have to cancel their entire trip if they couldn’t secure tickets. And honestly I completely get this, going to the Oogie Boogie Bash takes planning. Not only taking time off of work, flights, hotel stays, but halloween costumes. There is a reason why they sell tickets in advanced, it’s because it’s so popular and will always sell out.
But this ordeal left fans feeling disillusioned, questioning their loyalty to the Disney brand. The disappointment was tangible, as people voiced their frustration online, sharing their negative experiences and expressing their doubts about future events.
Bypass the Queue for Tickets
Even with all this chaos there were a few fortunate individuals who managed to secure tickets through unexpected means. These lucky few stumbled upon an alternative way to acquire their tickets. While others waited for the queue to open up I was able to get our tickets through the website app. This was shocking to me but also questioning if this was a legitimate access point. But once we were able to get confirmation through an email and the tickets to show up in the Disneyland app, we knew we were set.
What’s Next?
Disneyland acknowledged the technical difficulties and high volume of requests that led to the ticketing chaos. They announced an update on July 6th, promising to address the situation and provide further information. As fans eagerly awaited the update, it became evident that the 2023 Oogie Boogie Bash ticket disaster was unprecedented, leaving Disney enthusiasts stunned and disappointed.
The Disneyland Oogie Boogie Bash ticket disaster of 2023 will go down as a frustrating and chaotic event in the minds of fans. Sure it’s just a Disneyland special ticket event, but it’s a must do for fanatics. From the abrupt pause in ticket sales to the reports of overcharging, the entire experience left many Disney lovers disheartened and questioning the reliability of the official website. While some individuals managed to secure tickets through alternative means, the majority were left in a state of uncertainty. As Disneyland works to rectify the situation and provide clarity to fans, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact the trust and loyalty of Disney enthusiasts in the future.
