Disneyland annual passholders snapped up pre-sale tickets quickly to attend Oogie Boogie Bash while the remaining sales moved a lot slower than in past years as the fever pitch surrounding the ticket launch cooled considerably for the wildly popular Halloween event.
Disneyland sold out of Oogie Boogie Bash 2024 tickets by 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 6 after three separate on-sale events for annual passholders and the general public, according to the Disneyland website.

The general public took nine days to purchase the remaining Oogie Boogie Bash tickets that went on sale on June 27.
Disneyland updated its tech to avoid issues that plagued past sales, make purchases flow more efficiently and process more transactions per minute, according to News Nation reporter Scott Gustin.

This year’s 11-day sell out was considerably slower than the 12 hours it took last year when the ticket launch took place on a single “nightmare” day. In 2022, tickets sold out in less than a week.
This year, wait times were non-existent after the initial rush of online buyers slowed down following the general public sales launch. Sunday and Thursday night tickets went first with the Tuesday night dates the last to go.
Tickets for Oogie Boogie Bash 2024 cost $134 to $189 depending on the date.
This year’s edition of Oogie Boogie Bash will include familiar nighttime entertainment like the Frightfully Fun Parade and Villains Grove along with trick-or-treat trails. Character costumes, food and merchandise typically have a seasonal flair.
The Oogie Boogie Bash after-hours party is separate from the Halloween Time decor that takes over the parks during the All Hallow’s Eve season. The 5-hour after-party starts at 6 p.m. with mix-in beginning three hours earlier.
All the Halloween attraction overlays you’ve known from seasons past will be back — including Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout, Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters.
