Boo Bash tickets went on sale this morning, and Walt Disney World Guests are furious because they can’t actually buy them.
“It might be easier to get into Club 33 than it is to get Boo Bash tickets this morning,” according to one Twitter user.
So, Boo Bash ticket sales seem like they’re working out swell.

Despite complaints from Disney fans about the price of the Disney After Hours Boo Bash Halloween event, tickets seem to be in very high demand. And par for the course, Disney is fully unprepared to manage said demand.
Boo Bash tickets went on sale this morning for Walt Disney World Guests staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, and will go on sale for everyone else on June 15.
According to the official Boo Bash page, to order tickets one simply has to call (407) 939-4240.
Easier said than done.
Some suggest alternating between the dedicated Boo Bash line and the Disney World customer service line at (407) 939-5277.
Both phone lines have been slammed since before 7 a.m., and it would seem that even if you mange to get through, you’re still looking at a several hour wait.
I’ve been calling every number I can think of. I tried to get through from a different department and they can’t get through either. Typical Disney mess 🙄

That's better than most people. I've only heard of you and one other person who even got that far.

Here are some more scathing comments for Disney on Twitter…
@WaltDisneyWorld Cluster once again. Put Boo Bash tix on sale but don’t prepare. Can’t get thru and if you do the tix aren’t even loaded into your system. Inexcusable! Happens.Every.Single.Time.

My mom is really looking forward to Boo Bash at Disney, but nobody has been able to get tickets. Wow…

My TA said @WaltDisneyWorld has something going on and BooBash tickets aren't uploaded yet. I'm trying for Halloween night and not knowing when they will open makes me super nervous. 😳

The Disney Boo Bash is a stripped down version of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, thanks to the pandemic. What’s not stripped down is the price tag. The Boo Bash costs more than MNSSHP, offers fewer experiences, and doesn’t last as long.
Despite not being a great deal, there certainly seems to be that “pent up demand” that Disney talks about.
Either that, or Disney laid off all their customer service reps.
