Anyone else have difficulty with ESPN Sports Tickets site?

[Rupert B Puppenstein]

I have tried to access this website through multiple browsers, and it takes a while to load regardless...then when I enter the dates, the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Ticket Discount Code and accept the terms, it thinks so long that it times out. Anyone else experiencing issues with that website? I am going to the link that was in my confirmation e-mail so this is very odd.

Im having the same problem - was going to buy my tickets today.

The problem has been around for three days now. Not sure if Disney wants to sell tickets or not but I hope they fix it soon!

It appears that the website is still having issues...does anyone know if they can give us the Wine & Dine Discounted price over the phone?

Thanks so much!! I am so surprised that Disney is having website issues - I would think they would have the best IT staff to handle stuff like this!

They don't do discounts for marathon weekend.

Oops - didn't look at that question close enough...shouldn't respond from my iPhone. I do think that there will be incentives this year added at some point. The 1/2 and Full aren't filling up to the level that Disney wants. I do think it is unfair that they have no discounts during that weekend. It doesn't make any sense that they offer them for every race but that one. Either way, doesn't matter to me because I will be getting the Premier Passport when I get to WDW before the Goofy in 2012 since I will be running in every Half and Full at Disney. Much better value than any supposed discount tickets.

what kinds of things do you get a discount on? this will be our first marathon.

They offer the same packages for the Marathon guests that they offer for any regular guests visiting during that time. There are some special things like the Pasta Party, and Expo but as far as discounts, they aren't really there for WDW Marathon weekend. If you visit during any other Half Marathon, you will have hotel and ticket discounts but I guess they figure the Marathon is during the slow time anyway and you don't need a discount? Not sure what the thought process is.
