Today, March 26th, is the first day that tickets for the 2024 D23 Expo, D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, go on sale!

We can’t WAIT!

The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is happening from August 9th through the 11th in Anaheim, California. There will be panels, showcases, merchandise, announcements, and so much more. These huge events often sell out of tickets VERY quickly, but while we were in the virtual queue waiting to grab our own, we got a popup that we thought you should know about in case it happens to you.

In order to purchase tickets on March 26th for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, you must be a D23 Gold Member. Tickets for General Members with Visa cards and Gold Members begin on March 27th, and all D23 members can purchase tickets on March 28th.

D23 ticket information

As D23 Gold Members, we were in the virtual queue when the sale officially opened at 12 PM PT. While we had been waiting for about 45 minutes, we suddenly received an alert that the site was having a technical issue and the pre-sale had paused until it was fixed.

The message was sent at 12:38 PT ET, and we were not sure how long the pause in sales would last. Things like this can happen when such a large number of people are trying to get on to a site all at once, so it wasn’t too surprising. The best thing to do if this happens to you is to stay in the queue. Eventually, the site will get back to normal.

There will be a limited amount of tickets available each day of sales. If you’re a D23 Gold Member, you may have the best chances to get the tickets since you can purchase all three days. In the meantime, if you would like more information on ticket pricing and how to purchase the tickets, be sure to check out our post that takes you through all the details! 

How To Get a Ticket to the BIGGEST Disney Event of the Year

UPDATE: A new message sent out at 1:18 PM ET notified us that the technical issue had been resolved and pre-sales had resumed!

UPDATE: The notification on the website has once again changed. Now, it says “The ticket allotment for today’s D23 Gold Member pre-sale has almost sold out and the queue has been paused. Guests who are currently checking out will be able to complete their transaction. If you were not able to purchase tickets today, quantities of most ticket types will be available during the next pre-sale, which will begin Wednesday, March 27, at 12 p.m. PT for D23 Members who are Visa cardholders—and who pay with their Visa.”

So if you have not yet gotten your tickets, you can try again tomorrow, starting at 12PM PST.
