Part 4/12:
The ticket prices for these after-hours events have soared dramatically. For instance, the original Boo Bash Halloween event, which started at around $129, has now increased significantly—reaching as high as $250 for late December nights. Furthermore, the event duration has shortened; last year, guests could enter at 4 p.m. and stay until midnight, while this year, entry begins at 7 p.m., offering fewer hours for more money. The disparity between value and cost has left many fans feeling ripped off, particularly since key features like parades and fireworks—which historically complemented these events—are either scaled back or added as costly extras.
