Disney issues Oogie Boogie ticket warning

have absolutely no recourse if the tickets turn out to be invalid or voided.”

The terms and conditions regarding ticket sales are clearly spelled out in more than 4,000 words on the Disneyland website: Disneyland tickets are nontransferable and may not be sold. Theme park reservations are void if transferred or sold. Disney can cancel any tickets at any time for any reason. And don't expect to get your money back — Disneyland tickets are nonrefundable.

There may be a bit of wiggle room for those who have purchased Oogie Boogie Bash tickets from resellers under the ThirdParty Beneficiaries section of the Disneyland terms and conditions — if you can make any sense out of the legalese.

“I acknowledge and agree that any individual for whom I have bought a ticket or pass or made a reservation or who uses a ticket, pass or reservation made by me is and is intended to be a third-party beneficiary of that ticket, pass or reservation made by me,” according to the Disneyland terms and conditions.

That may be of little solace as you're standing outside the California Adventure front gates in your Halloween costume unable to get in to Oogie Boogie Bash with your $750 eBay ticket.

But don't give up all hope. There may still be a chance to buy tickets directly from Disneyland, according to MousePlanet.

In past years, Disneyland has released a limited amount of special events tickets on the day of the event at the esplanade ticket booths to the general public, and at the three Disney hotel front desks for hotel guests. It can't hurt to check.

Nabbing tickets to the popular Halloween event has become increasingly difficult. Last year it took a week for Oogie Boogie Bash tickets to sell out. Back in 2018, you could still get tickets in September.

This year's edition will include familiar nighttime entertainment like the Frightfully Fun Parade, Villains Grove and “Mickey's Trick and Treat,” show along with trick-or-treat trails.

Character costumes, food and merchandise typically have a seasonal flair.

The five-hour after-party running some nights from Sept. 5-Oct. 31 starts at 6 p.m., with mix-in beginning three hours earlier.
