Oh sorry. Not currently.

Oh sorry. Not currently. Edit: just popped back up along with a few other dates.

Thank you!

Why do we think dates keep going away and popping back up?

I got in early this morning, have been using two browsers each on both my phone and my laptop (4 total), and never got past >1 hr wait and the green line 50% loaded. I'm so frustrated, this has been two entire days spent trying to get 2 tickets with zero payoff (and I know I'm not the only one). How can it possibly be this bad?

Annnnnnnd while my bar hasn't moved in almost an hour, ebay has 10 listings for tickets. Someone is selling 8 tickets.... HOWWWWW

I find it gross that people are re-selling OBB tickets for thousands of dollars on e-Bay. I hope no one buys them!! What people won’t do for a $$$

Report them. Also Disney will go after them as well. All the listings from before are gone including one that supposedly sold.

a few years ago it did display the queue id on the page. I think Disney must have asked them to remove it. Now there are references to it, but it isn't actually displayed.

It was still there through the pre-sale for MKs (for all OBB 2022 party nights) and D23 (for D23 OBB 2022 party night only) back in June 2022. The Queue ID was removed from the bottom of the page by the time it went live for general sale a couple days later. They also used to tell us how many people were ahead of us, but last time I saw that with Disney and Queue It was the 65th anniversary sale.

Something is definitely different in the code. Wish I had saved one of the older ones to compare what they changed. But it does seem to be verifying something in the background besides just the Queue ID now.

I think they are sold out and it’s glitching because when I got to the purchase page it was showing days that had already been listed as sold out for over an hour.

How many were you trying to get? UGH I am so close.

I was trying for 3 tickets.

Yeah, that just rubs salt in the wound when people get on there to resell on eBay. Why take away tickets from people who actually want to go just so you can make a quick buck. It's infuriating. I encourage all of you to report any tickets that are being resold on these third party sites.

These are the categories when you report for event ticket resales:

All of my bars have completely stalled out - one is right by the end of the word tickets but none have moved in probably 30+ minutes.

Mine aren’t moving either. My closest one was at 12 minutes before they all switched to more than one hour. So close. So far.

I wasn't able to get tickets either, so frustrating! I'm still only halfway through the dreaded green bar If you are staying onsite you might not be completely out of luck. Last year, and we did it one other year as well, we were able to go down to the lobby (I think it was at 5am) and purchase tickets for the party being held that day. I was told by everyone that I spoke to at The Grand that they didn't have tickets held for hotel guests and I even asked at check in and was told no. We still went down in the morning and sure enough we were the second group in line. Last year we did it for two Oogie Boogie parties that were held during our dates.

That message just came up, I think they're officially sold out.

And what do you think writing them will accomplish? Absolutely nothing. This is a massive demand every year yet people fell have Thais send of entitlement they should get tickets regardless. That’s not how it works. Sometimes you get them and other times you don’t.

It's not really just a sense of entitlement. You have to book the property (VGC) at 11 months out basically. OBB has absolutely no history of ever selling out for any single date on the 1st day of ticket sales. Despite high demand and long waits, there has been availability. That is a solid historical precedent to plan a vacation around, which is not a cheap one - nor one that can feasibly be canceled if you fail to get the tickets.

While the situtation is obviously such that not everyone who wants it is able to get it, again historically, the planners, and patient pro-active individuals have been able to secure their desired dates, albeit after many annoying hours in a queue or whatever.

It is certainly not unreasonable to expect some mechanism of guarantee that people proactively booking and paying for vacations almost a year in advance are able to attend a party date. If you have to secure the hotel booking so far in advance, and plan vacation time off, it is only reasonable be assured of the ability to attend the primary purpose behind the trip.

Of course, life isn't fair, and this is for sure a 1st world problem... but this is also just poor customer service at a pretty basic level. It doesn't take that much deep thought to brainstorm any number of viable alternatives that could balance the scales for people who have so proactively committed to a Disney vacation so far in advance.

Right click on the page and select "view source", the search page for "queueID" and you'll be able to copy your queue ID

Thanks for this! I reported every one of them. Doubt much will happen, but I'm not going to make it easy for them.

Me too. Makes me so mad!

Ebay took down the ones that came up after the last sale so I do think it helps.
