EPCOT After Hours Sold Out - Any Chance?

[DerTobi75]

Hi,

we just saw, that the EPCOT After Hours on May 29th are Sold Out.

Is there any chance to get two Tickets, when someone is opting out or return their Tickets?

Any recommentations what we can do other then to be faster next Time?!

Regards,

Tobi

Tickets are non-transferrable so unfortunately it is unlikely they will become available. You may keep looking and ask day of a Guest Services but they may or may not be able to assist you. Normally once an AH event is sold out, no additional tickets become available but you can always ask at GS.

I believe these tickets would have been on sale for a while so the only way to try to secure them is to look when they first become available and purchase as soon as possible. I believe ticket sales for AH events start at midnight. (If this is incorrect, someone will advise I'm sure.)

Nope for Epcot it is 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM for this years AH ticketed events.

Only option is to check at Guest Services (GS) at Epcot, and I would not wait until day of since Guests might cancel early enough for tickets to be at the park. They will not go back on sale online.

ETA: fixed he erroneous timing that @Mle8308 pointed out...

I think @scrappinginontario meant ticket sales possible starting at midnight, not the hours of the event.

Yes, thanks @Mle8308 - I meant when the tickets go on sale. OP was asking how to better their chances of purchasing tickets for future AH events so I was suggesting they be online at midnight when the tickets go on sale.

Yep, we have been to Guest Service. The CM was really nice. He told us, he cannot ‚oversell‘ that Event.

My wife looked so sad, that he offered us a Lightning Lane. I asked him, what happened, if someone cancled, he checked in the back Office and told us, that it is a Live System. If someone gave their Tickets back, they should appear on the Webpage. We should check the Site every now and then.

But, we do not have much Hope.

We are going to dinner at Coronado Springs this evening and I wanted to go afterwards to Epcot for Luminous. However, I have just seen that tonight is a special ticketed event from 10 pm.

Would you recommend skipping Epcot in this case or should we see no noticeable increase in crowds for the last hour of regular opening times? We would most likely enter from the main parking lot in front and would be happy standing near Port of Entry to World Showcase, not heading around to any of the 'country' locations.

There is not normally a big increase in crowds for Epcot events. If you want to go, I would continue with your plan.
