D23 Event Sales Paused After Technical Issues Leave Fans Unable to Select Their Tickets
Fans hoping to snag tickets to this year’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, California are going to have to wait a little bit longer.
For those who don’t know, the Gold Member pre-sale for this year’s D23 event started today at noon PT. As the moment that fans had been waiting for finally arrived, Disney’s technology once again let them down.
Fans Were Unable to Select Tickets
D23 Gold Members who patiently waited through the virtual queue, however, were unable to purchase tickets when it was their turn.

Instead, they were met by the unwelcome sight that tickets would not go on sale until August 7, before their time ran out and their window closed.
Due to the technical issues, D23 has paused the pre-sale process. Fans currently in the queue have been greeted with a message that reads:
“We are currently aware of a technical issue that guests may be experiencing with the ticketing site and hope to resume the pre-sale shortly. Thanks for your patience.”
When Will Sales Resume?
At this time, it is unclear when the Gold Member presale will resume or how Disney will rectify the situation for those who waited in line but were then unable to purchase tickets.
What is clear is that Disney made purchasing tickets for its signature fan event a headache for its most die-hard fans.
Hopefully, the situation will be rectified soon, and sales will resume.
UPDATE: As of 1:18PM PT, Disney updated those in the queue with a new message as follows:
“We are happy to announce that we are resuming the pre-sale. If you are currently in the checkout process, please refresh the page and you should be able to complete your transaction. Thank you for your patience!”
For now at least, it appears that ticket sales have resumed.
UPDATE 2: At 2:17PM PT, Disney updated the queue with a new message that states the following:
“TICKET UPDATE: Due to overwhelming demand, limited tickets remain for today’s D23 Gold Member pre-sale. If you were not able to purchase tickets today, additional quantities of most ticket types will be available during the next pre-sale, which will begin Wednesday, March 27, at 12 p.m. PY for D23 Members who are Visa cardholders — and who pay with their Visa.”
