Disneyland has a dire warning for anyone shut out of the sold-out Oogie Boogie Bash event and thinking about paying double, triple or quadruple for tickets at an online reseller: Buyer beware.
Resellers have listed more than 600 Oogie Boogie Bash tickets, which retail for $134 to $189, for as much as $900 on Stubhub, according to MousePlanet.
“If Disney is able to identify the sellers of these tickets, they can be revoked,” according to MousePlanet.

Tickets sold out in just 11 days for the annual Halloween event taking place on 27 select nights from Aug. 25 through Oct. 31 at Disney California Adventure.
Disneyland has cracked down on scalpers selling tickets for after hours, separate admission events on eBay — but that hasn’t stopped resellers from posting tickets on StubHub for the popular Halloween event.
But buying Oogie Boogie Bash tickets through a reseller is a bad idea.
“Disney has demonstrated that they can work with the site to obtain the identity of resellers, void their tickets and revoke their Magic Key passes where applicable,” according to MousePlanet.
Oogie Boogie Bash tickets may not be resold after they are purchased, according to Disneyland officials.
Disneyland resort teams have an established process for investigating resold tickets that may be voided where appropriate, according to Disneyland officials.
The terms and conditions regarding ticket sales are clearly spelled out on the Disneyland website.
Magic Keyholder Andrew Rich found out the hard way that Disneyland has a Magic Key Review Board and Revocation Team after he sold a pair of Sweethearts’ Nite tickets on eBay and got his annual pass revoked for a year.
Rich sold the Sweethearts’ Nite tickets for more than face value in violation of Disneyland’s terms and conditions, according to Disneyland officials.
There is still a way to get into this year’s sold out Oogie Boogie Bash event — especially if you don’t blink at paying $900 a ticket.
The Oogie Boogie Bash VIP Tour gets up to eight people into the event with a tour guide for eight hours plus priority access to Villains Grove, reserved viewing for the Frightfully Fun Parade, plus food, drinks and exclusive souvenirs — all for $7,500 to $8,500 depending on the date.
The 5-hour after-party running on select dates starts at 6 p.m. nightly with mix-in beginning three hours earlier.
