Aside from how the night ends, one of the foremost concerns among those running the city’s Halloween party is whether they can sell tickets quickly enough to avoid a pileup at the gates.
With only a few thousand advance tickets sold, organizers now anticipate a huge crush of demand as the party gets started Saturday on State Street.
That worries some, including City Council President Austin King, because if crowds are forced to wait long for tickets, they could become unruly or simply give up and take the party elsewhere.
