$50/$60 and they could've made this a worthwhile endeavor - I bet they would've actually had to limit ticket sales due to demand. But not at 3x that. It's nice to see that pixie dust has a limit.

so basically people are paying extra for other guests to not be there and make it more crowded...
I'd be curious what profit (after costs to operate) they made (or lost)

...and I have to wonder too if say 300 actually purchased tickets... and there was only an estimated 1,000...remember they let DVC and press/bloggers in last night as well... one has to wonder what the future ones will be like

The people that bought tickets for last night are saying it was worth the price. Walk on at every ride and all the Mickey bars you could eat.

then those mickey bars must have had a little red magic pill inside of them
there will always be some who will pay to do this... but for the masses... this is just overpaying for no reason

But e-Ticket did not include admission to the park.

You sure have a problem with other people enjoying something that you do not want to do.

No not at all, have you not been reading. This included admission and E-Ride did not. Some think it was a good deal if you where going to the park for only one day.

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with a blatant cash grab by Disney. If sheep want to have the last of their blood sucked out, so be it. Personally, I feel this is a stupid waste of money. But that is just my opinion.

Others can do what they want with their own money
As for me, sure I'd do it, just never pay extra for what I can already get

This is something I would never pay for or do. It's a bad idea all around. But I will criticize Disney for all these big cash events. Let's not criticize the people that want to do it. They can use their cash anyway they want

And it sure makes sense to bring up park attendance from 14 years ago, soon after 9/11. Yeah, that's comparing apples to apples.So basically paying top dollar to feel like the park wasduring "off season" in 2002 (when it was MUCH cheaper to visit). Yeah, that makes sense

The amount of snarky comments and negative attitudes directed towards anyone who would attend this event is ridiculous and petty. Rubes, suckers, sheep, overpaying, are just a few of the terms being applied to people willing to pay $150 for a premium experience.
One could say the same thing about anyone visiting Walt Disney World. $45 buffets that would cost $20 in the real world. $109 to stay at a value resort. $4 for a bottled drink. Cruises that cost double what most lines charge. Buying DVC and never vacationing anywhere else.
When you mock someone who paid $150 to walk onto attractions without waiting for several hours, keep in mind there's someone out there who thinks you're an idiot for paying over $100 to visit a theme park at which you stand in long lines and pay premium prices for mediocre food.
I understand that Disney charges a premium and I have decided that it's worth it to me. Just as I don't want someone lecturing me for dropping a lot of money on a WDW vacation, I'm not going to mock or put down anyone who spent money on this event.

Premium prices for mediocre food? Really? Disney's food (QS at least) is pretty cheap and very good compared to almost any other entertainment offering. Try walking into a movie theater, Six Flags, or Yankee Stadium and getting a bottle of Coke for $2.50 or half a chicken with barbecue beans and corn bread for $12. You can't.
But yeah I agree with the rest of your point.

So what's the point of your post? Either way, it was a flop.And it sure makes sense to bring up park attendance from 14 years ago, soon after 9/11. Yeah, that's comparing apples to apples.
