For seated themed dinners, submit restrictions at booking and confirm by email a few days out, since prix-fixe kitchens plan counts in advance. At parties and crawls, assume the food is incidental, snack boards and late-night slices, and eat a safe real meal beforehand. Carry a backup bar for long nights, and check whether spooky cocktails hide allergens like egg white or nuts.
Price the specific perks, not the label: express entry is worth real money on peak Saturday when general lines hit an hour, and a guaranteed table transforms a night for a group that wants a home base. Drink tickets usually price out neutral. For a costume-contest crowd-watcher, GA plus early arrival buys the same night for half. Compare per-person, not per-tier.
Move fast sideways: the same night usually holds three comparable parties one tier less famous, and bars around the sold-out venue absorb the overflow crowd with no cover. Check for official resale or waitlist options rather than sketchy third-party tickets, since Halloween is peak fake-ticket season. Book the backup as soon as the first choice wobbles, not at 9 pm that night.
