2015 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

[asianway]

Halloween night is officially sold out

Kind of early, no?

People are sadists. I did it once never again

Is it any worse than any other sellout night?

That was a pretty early sell out for Halloween night. Last year it sold out on Aug 21st.

I expect November 1st or October 29th will sell out quickly after that.

I never did Halloween. I like MNSSHP but I liked the days of 2004 when you got a free Group photo and it didn't cost a fortune.

It's on a Saturday night this year...people are making sure they get their ticket.

Depends on the ceiling. Not all "sell outs" are created equal.

Example, like a midweek, early September MNSSHP might be 25k And a sellout but Halloween will sell as many tickets as possible. Last I asked, upper limit is around 35k.

Interesting.
So they're staffed differently I assume?

That's My assumption. Same with a gate sellout.

I've asked people about this, I'm just passing along what they told me.

Ops wise probably but the entertainment is exactly the same for every party, so that does not get scaled up

Interesting. I would have never imagined they did this.

Like others are pointing out, Operational Staffing is the difference. Halloween parties are 25-35k or so.

This is very inaccurate. The number never goes over 25k, no matter the night.

Looks like someone misled me.... uh-oh.

Okay, after getting a clarification..... The ceiling is fixed, but the actual numbers as to what a "sellout" is tends to fluctuate.

The example given to me is like a phased closing.

Hope that helps clarify.

I don't really understand. So they'll call it a sellout before ticket sales reach that max amount?

Know how in a sporting event, the total number of people in a Sellout is different? Same thing.

 

[Nemo14]

I guess it makes sense, or as much sense as any of this makes...

 

[ToTBellHop]

Or how you can walk up to a Disney restaurant, have them say they are booked solid for the night, yet half the tables are open? They staff based upon anticipated demand.

Not to mention the lower crowds, better selection and quantity of candy, more entertainment options, oh and for like $50

Aaaaaaaand, this is why you buy your tickets early.

We'll see you on Halloween!
