I heard they don’t sell out till the last minute any more because they are allowing many more people into the parties now and the crowds are getting horrific. Is this true?
I can't say of 1st statement, since this is 1st year that has been different than past regarding sell out dates. In reference to MNSSHP and Halloween Party in DL, all parties in DL sold out in a matter of days/weeks of announcing which was 2-3 months after MNSSHP dates were released. So problem in WDW not DL.
Typically the last week of parties sell out. See Post #3. Horrific is a matter of opinion really, unless referring to HUB and Main St which can still be bearable to some. I attended MNSSHP last year on Halloween (SOLD OUT) and was able to do everything I wanted. The HUB and Main St. were jammed packed (I did the dessert party). I've attended a SOLD OUT MVMCP on last night and accomplished everything too, but I expect the crowds and I'm prepared for them. So I avoid the crowded areas.
My post in MNSSHP Thread (BOLD applies to MVMCP too), same applies here. MK will close @ 6pm to day guest for MVMCP this year.
Number of tickets sold probably increases, but probably not enough to notice, and probably not as much as PP think. Who knows.. Also, HUB & Main St. have always been "overcrowded" on SOLD Out parties and not sold out parties for parade viewing and fireworks.
Amount of tickets sold probably increased (IMO not as much as PP think, could be wrong), but numerous PP posted that after over 30% price increase last year (slight increase this year too), reduction of characters, complaints of not clearing our day guests, that they would not attend. It shows with the amount of parties that sold out in 2015 vs 2016, and then only 2 this year and NOT Halloween yet. I know several do not like the parties within the parties, but a lot of PP do, and numerous complaints about Villains Soiree not being continued, then parade viewing removed from dessert party, no Club Villain --- this reduced sales and caused others just not to go.
I agree. I think that 30% increase was a tipping point for many people last year. And I think the maximum number of tickets per party they can sell before it is deemed "sold out" creeps up ever so slowly each year.
