The website of the Shanghai Disneyland theme park in China said that tickets quickly ran out on Friday to book entry in the early days of resumption of the city, which is preparing to open its doors next week after a three-month closure due to an outbreak of the Corona virus.
On Monday, 11 May, entry tickets were sold out, the first day the city was opened for visitors again, through May 14, via the online reservation service.
Entry tickets for the weekend were exhausted on May 16 and 17.
The Fiji and Mituan Ticket Sites also confirmed that they had run out of tickets on the opening day.
The Fleigi website reported that tickets offered for May 11 (the first day of the city’s resumption of operation) and May 16 (corresponding to the start of the weekend on Saturday) ran out within three minutes.
Shanghai Disneyland closed on January 25 as public places across China were closed in compliance with social separation regulations.
In March, Disney reopened some shopping and dining venues in its location in Shanghai, but the main theme park remained closed.
Bob Chappick, CEO of Disney Group, said on Tuesday that the Chinese government has asked the company that the percentage of park visitors not exceed 30 percent of its capacity, or about 24,000 visitors, when it reopens.
