“When will Disney begin promoting tickets for the 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash?” is a typical reader query, particularly after Disneyland introduced dates for the Halloween get together and provided that the occasion all the time sells out quick. We’ll attempt to reply primarily based on what we all know primarily based on historic announcement dates, previous demand, and extra.
As with all of those speculative posts, we’ll begin by underscoring the truth that Madame Leota will not be employed by this weblog, which is to say that we don’t have a crystal ball. Nobody may give you a definitive reply about when Disneyland will launch 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration tickets. The identical holds true for just about something that hasn’t been formally introduced, launched internally, or leaked.
So when you’re the type of one that thinks this kind of prognostication publish is a “waste of time,” then there’s nothing for you right here.

(Simply be warned–tickets will promote out early, so that you’ll need to be prepared to purchase shortly after they go on sale.) This publish merely makes an attempt to supply perception as to when that date will probably be primarily based on previous precedent in response the above reader questions…
Whereas Disneyland hasn’t launched full particulars, we now have a reasonably good image of what this yr’s Halloween season will entail (see our full 2025 Information to Halloween at Disneyland Resort for all the pieces past Oogie Boogie Bash), with spook season kicking off on August 22––the primary time ever it has ever kicked off that early, and primarily two weeks sooner than regular.
The large change this yr is that the 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash will start earlier than the remainder of the Halloween Time festivities. That is nice information from our perspective–it’s a change we’ve implored Disneyland to make and brings this occasion extra consistent with Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration at Walt Disney World–though some followers who bemoan the early begin of spook season are unlikely to agree. On high of that, there’s a file variety of Oogie Boogie Bash nights!
Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration will happen on 31 nights, up from 27 final yr. The occasion will start on August 17, 2025 (versus August 25 final yr) and run by way of October 31, 2025. The limited-capacity, individually ticketed occasion will characteristic family-friendly enjoyable for company of all ages the chance throughout Halloween Time. See our full Information to the 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration for each single date and all different particulars.
As for when tickets will go on sale, Disneyland has offered no official begin date. Simply that they’ll present extra particulars “within the coming months” concerning the occasion, together with when ticket gross sales will begin. So right here’s the place our hypothesis begins, primarily based on the ticket gross sales for Disney California Journey’s Halloween get together every of the previous few years.
For reference, Magic Key pre-sale tickets went on sale for the 2024 Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration starting on June 25 for the best tier, and the next day for different Annual Passholders. Basic public ticket gross sales began on June 27 final yr. The ticket buy course of was a lot smoother crusing than the yr earlier than, however there was nonetheless a multi-hour digital queue on all three dates.
The yr earlier than that, Magic Key pre-sale tickets went on sale for the 2023 Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Celebration starting on June 27. Basic public ticket gross sales have been supposed to begin on June 29. Nevertheless, technical difficulties primarily pushed that again for a few weeks till mid-July. Accordingly, that mid-July begin date shouldn’t be considered as precedent, because it wasn’t the supposed begin date for ticket gross sales.
Tickets went on sale for the 2022 Oogie Boogie Bash starting on June 28 as a pre-sale completely for Magic Key holders. On June 30, most people was capable of buy Oogie Boogie Bash tickets.
Tickets went on sale later the earlier yr–on July 13, 2021. Nevertheless, I don’t actually assume that’s related as Disneyland had simply reopened and was racing to revive normalcy, which didn’t occur till mid-June. The 2019 or earlier Halloween occasions additionally provide no precedential worth to when 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash tickets will go on sale. That’s just too way back.
Our greatest guess is that 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash ticket gross sales will begin no later than late June, similar to final yr and the 2 years earlier than that.
Nevertheless, with the announcement date transferring ahead by a number of months, so too might the gross sales date. We positively don’t anticipate gross sales to begin inside the subsequent two months, although. Actually, we’d be shocked if gross sales start in Might 2025, too.
Gross sales will most likely begin per final yr (and the yr earlier than that). Because the announcement did come over a month early and Disneyland has extra nights than ever to promote, I wouldn’t be shocked if the gross sales dates moved ahead by a pair weeks–perhaps a June 10, 2025 begin date versus later within the month. I might not essentially anticipate this, although–simply elevating the likelihood provided that the discharge of dates occurred a lot sooner than regular.
Fairly frankly, there’s not a lot sense of urgency for Disneyland to begin promoting tickets. Oogie Boogie Bash all the time sells out all nights, and there’s much more demand than provide. Until there’s a really huge worth enhance, Disneyland can have zero points promoting out all dates of the 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash.
This can be a large a part of why Disneyland has all the time began gross sales of Oogie Boogie Bash tickets later than Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration at Walt Disney World–there’s no rush since each single night time sells out each single yr. They don’t want the longer runway–even with a file variety of nights, tickets will begin promoting out inside hours or days.
As soon as once more, if you wish to be notified ASAP when Disney proclaims the gross sales date for tickets to the 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash, subscribe to our FREE e mail publication for updates. In case you don’t try this, we extremely advocate visiting the Disneyland web site every day for updates, as you’ll completely need to be able to buy tickets on day one when gross sales begin. Additionally once more, not making an attempt to scare you–simply making an attempt to set sensible expectations after listening to from tons of readers in the previous few years who waited to buy and bought shut out.
That is price underscoring: in each single yr since Oogie Boogie Bash started, it has offered out each single night time lengthy. And never simply by the point the occasion rolled round. Oogie Boogie Bash all the time sells out lengthy earlier than the primary occasion was held. There hasn’t been a single time when any tickets have been nonetheless accessible one month earlier than the events began.
Final yr, sure get together nights offered out on the day that tickets first went on sale–some inside the first few hours that tickets have been on sale, whereas there was nonetheless a prolonged digital queue. Different dates took a number of days to promote out. All dates have been gone inside every week or so. That was almost 2 months earlier than the primary get together in August.
This was really slower than 2023, when each single night time offered out the identical day that tickets went on sale. There have been some Magic Key Annual Passholders who tried on the presale day and bought shut out, tried once more on the primary basic public day (that had IT points), after which tried once more on the rescheduled gross sales begin date and bought shut out but once more. These followers reported spending 10+ hours in digital queues for nothing.
Some 2022 Oogie Boogie Bash nights offered out inside days of occurring sale, and ALL dates have been passed by July 3. If I recall accurately, 2021 was a bit simpler, however tickets nonetheless offered out rapidly. Similar goes for 2019. All tickets offered out by or earlier than July.
To that time, anticipate difficulties shopping for 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash tickets.
There will probably be multi-hour digital queue throughout Magic Key presales and basic public gross sales. That a lot is for certain. The pool of accessible tickets tends to be very restricted throughout Magic Key presales, so it’s usually harder to purchase throughout these. Now we have the best tier of APs, and we bought shut out of our most well-liked get together throughout each days of presales final yr.
Nevertheless, we had no drawback shopping for as soon as gross sales opened to most people. It was a problem, however not almost as dangerous because the earlier yr–and all of it labored on in the long run. Simply one thing to remember when you see tickets promoting out in the course of the Magic Key presale. The events aren’t really offered out–the restricted variety of tickets made accessible for Magic Key APs is offered out.
On account of diluted demand, we’re additionally hoping tickets promote out slower. That was additionally the case this yr. As long as you obtain tickets in the course of the first few days they have been on sale, you’ll’ve been capable of buy one thing. Maybe not your most well-liked dates, as well-liked nights did promote out inside hours, however much less well-liked dates have been accessible for a number of days.
That’s why we’re actually comfortable to see that Disneyland opted for 31 nights of Oogie Boogie Bash. That’s probably the most ever, and transferring these events into the low season is the best transfer. Having 30+ events will actually assist relieve a number of the strain on the high-demand occasion.
With the general capability (provide) going up, our expectation is that dates will promote out barely slower, even assuming static demand. Nevertheless, we’d not assume that–demand will most likely lower to a point, as Oogie Boogie Bash hasn’t materially modified within the final a number of years, so many locals are beginning to get their fill. On high of that, pent-up demand has exhausted itself, so there’s much less of an urge for food for costly upcharges.
However, it’s unattainable to know what’s going to occur with provide and demand, and we might NOT advocate playing on any predictions concerning the occasion’s recognition this yr. We’ll purchase our 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash tickets ASAP, and strongly advocate you do the identical if you already know you need to attend this yr’s occasion. Even when demand isn’t as robust this yr, the Halloween events will probably promote out in the course of the first week of gross sales on the newest. That’s par for the course with Oogie Boogie Bash!
Finally, we’re trying ahead to the 2025 Oogie Boogie Bash…assuming we’re capable of rating tickets! We’ve actually loved this Halloween Celebration, and are hoping that Disneyland will proceed to construct on that success and scale it up. However with the final two years promoting out in file time–and doubtless sufficient demand to promote out your entire occasion 2 to three occasions over–there most likely isn’t a ton of incentive so as to add anything (except it will increase capability, during which case…).
In our view, Oogie Boogie Bash is nice–however nonetheless falls quick as in comparison with Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Celebration in each regard besides characters (that are very, superb at Oogie Boogie Bash). Particularly, fleshing out the parade and including yet another piece of cornerstone leisure–ideally, a stage present or one other new Halloween version of World of Colour–would actually assist elevate the occasion. Nevertheless, there’s additionally the truth that Disneyland does extra for Halloween as an entire, and most of that’s included in common admission–so Oogie Boogie Bash and Halloween as an entire at Disneyland Resort is fairly good, all issues thought of!
