Holiwood Nights 2025
Alright, so the ticketing process basically looks like a lottery? Whats to stop the entire world from just registering with a ton of email addresses? Will this be another very difficult year to secure tickets?
It's just too early for me to even think about committing to an event that's six months out, especially since these events require you to put a name to the ticket at purchase.
I am totally ready to go like I was the last two years, but couldn’t get tickets. It seems they are doing something different? Are they preventing people who went last year from going this year so others can go? I hope so.
Someone was on the Facebook page bragging about going the last few years and can’t wait for this year, I just wanna tell them to sit out so someone else can go. I wouldn’t, of course… but I really do want to go. It’s a great event.
I am trying, I’ve never been. Last time I was at Holiday World was for Fall Affair, that was canceled shortly before, but still had a great time. Would love to make it for HWN next year.

Is there some type of resale market for niche coaster riding events?
Everything is scalped nowadays, but I think forced names at registration and sales limits keep this one from having the same fate.
Is it possible that the event is just popular? Scalping seems a little farfetched, but maybe you've seen something other than the tickets selling out quickly that says otherwise.
Yeah, I don't even think it was possible to get one. They were all distributed within seconds.

Well, one guy has an 11:00:08 timestamped email that they were all gone already. So 100% grabbed in under 8 seconds I would imagine they were using bots or something else to formfill. People can't possibly fill that form and submit in under 8 seconds. Can they?
I hit go in under 8 seconds and they were gone. 4 years in a row now, but glad I got to go all those years (since 1995). They know how popular it is, maybe they will have 2 HWN weekends at some point. I can't complain about the park, they're doing their best and have always treated coaster nerds like gold. To their credit, they have limited the event.
