Oogie Boogie Bash fans who waited 12 hours in a “nightmare” virtual queue to buy tickets only to experience online system errors and find all the dates sold out fumed on social media about Disneyland’s “epic fail.”
Disneyland sold out of every available date for Oogie Boogie Bash in September and October on the first day tickets went on sale to the general public on Tuesday, July 11.

Oogie Boogie Bash will run once again at Disney California Adventure on 25 select nights: Sept. 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, 28 and Oct. 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 29 and 31.
Fans who anxiously waited for a chance to buy tickets to the wildly popular Halloween event fretted all day as they watched dates repeatedly sell out on the Oogie Boogie Bash website.
“Oogie Boogie Bash tickets sold out while I was still sitting in the queue,” Iced Natcchiato wrote on Twitter. “I’ve been in the queue all day.”

Tickets for the annual event initially went on sale to Magic Keyholders on June 27 and to the general public on June 29. The annual passholder sale went off with relatively few hiccups, but technical troubles started with the Oogie Boogie Bash website shortly after the general public tickets went on sale. The technical troubles forced Disneyland to reschedule the general public online ticket sale to Tuesday — when hourslong waits further infuriated the Oogie Boogie faithful.
Fuming fans took to social media to vent their anger at Disneyland’s #EpicFail.
“Been waiting in the queue for six hours to get tix for Oogie Boogie Bash for my kids,” Kimberly A wrote on Twitter. “Now I’m getting a message tix may not be available. R u kidding me?”
