MNSSHP sold out?

[LadyOmega]

I hope this is the right place to post this, if not I apologize.

Our family will be going to the MNNSHP on Oct. 5 this year, our first visit to this Party. How many of these events usually sell out, and how early? I have one more ticket to buy for the 5th person who was added on to our group since I purchased the first four - should I go ahead and get it very soon, or am I safe to wait a couple more weeks?
I know that sold out dates probably vary from year to year, but is there any pattern to how busy they are? What I mean is, will there be less crowds that early in Oct., or are the crowd patterns all over the board?
Thanks to any who can help, hope I didn't confuse anyone.

I asked this the other day. The responses I got were mainly that the only days that sell out are Halloween and the closest day to it. Hope this helps.

My TA told us to buy early, they sell out alot. I have never been, so we trusted her and have already bought all of our tickets!

Interesting. I spoke to a CM when I bought my 9/22 MNSSHP tickets (this was about a month ago). She said that advance ticket sales were up this year, based on an internal memorandum she had seen. She told me that it was good that I was going ahead and buying the tickets, because many dates were likely to sell out this year.

Now, I know that's just one cast member. Theoretically, she could have been making the information up completely. But I really didn't get the impression that she was less than sincere. And I was already purchasing my tickets, so she didn't need to "talk me into it" or sell me anything.

Has anybody else heard that advance ticket sales for MNSSHP were up this year?

I also heard that the only dates that sell out are those closest to Halloween.

Thanks everybody,
I think I'll wait another week or so, then go ahead and get my 5th.
