Is anyone able to see what their actual position is in the queue? All I see is the green man walking across my screen and it gives no context!

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

Yeah, it says it below the green man for me. Currently 3308 people ahead of me lol

I got my preferred ticket!!!

 

[msteddom]

Thanks for that. For some reason the my screen is white text on a white background, so I found it when I highlighted it!

Sold out already, I was too late, there were 1800 ahead and once I got to the Preferred it was sold out.

got my preferred seating for my 1st expo! so excited. I had different devices running and one of them just went right in. The last device I was waiting for a number ahead and it totally skipped it when all my other devices had numbers. I liked how the had a different queque from general 3 day and preferred seating. When it was combined with destination d23 last time it was annoying. I think preferred seating sold out at 12:08 pm. That was the time I got in on my second device.

3 day general is still available at the moment.

Yeah, I didn't get my Preferred ticket. I was on an hour beforehand in the waiting room on three different computers, and got numbers greater than 1500 on all of them, and by the time I got in, they were gone. Frustrating because I tried multiple years for Sorcerer as well. Guess there's no more fair way to do this, but still disappointed.

 

[AquaDame]

I never saw the option even.. oh well save a grand lol

 

[tobikaye]

Yeah, I had to stay with my grandma with dementia and she was having issues at time I tried to get in, The odd thing is that the first device I joined was at 3800 when the queue opened and the one that was earlier as 1800 so that seemed odd.

Oh well, I guess I just get to queue at 2 am instead of 6 am.

Excited to be going to my first D23!! (didn't try for preferred- just regular D23 gold 3 day discounted).

 

[kristenabelle]

I got my preferred ticket!!!

Me too! See you in the hall!

 

[noisycricket]

I ended up in the wrong queue and when I switched over to preferred, it was all gone. Better luck next time...

 

[AquaDame]

It was kind of confusing... I think I was in the wrong queue also. I'd poked around earlier and thought those were just info pages. When I clicked on 'buy tickets' it didnt give me a choice.

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

Got our regular plebian tickets! Haha

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

Gold Saturday and regular 3 day tickets are sold out already. Lots of pent up demand!

 

[maichan]

Got our regular plebian tickets! Haha

LOL, same. Happy for those who were able to get the Preferred ones.

As a reminder about the Queue It system for everyone:

It does not matter what time you enter the waiting room. Everyone is assigned a random place in the queue once it opens. You could enter the waiting room five minutes before and get a lower place in line than someone who has been in the waiting room since it opened.

Also I haven't checked this time since it's running so smooth (unlike TOD, reopening tickets, and Magic Key sales ), but in the past I have opened new queues well after the queue opened and gotten lower positions with those than queues I had had since it opened (so it was still placing people randomly ahead of people already in the queue). So it's not always a fair system sadly.

Also got my gold discounted 3day yesterday during the presale so I'm just watching this as a spectator today.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

I got my preferred ticket. Actually, my daughter got it for me. She had 718 in front of her in the queue when she joined and I had over 3K. A couple of friends got in the queue right after her and when it came to get tickets they were sold out, so I think we were among the last.... just my thought.

@AquaDame, I was with you - it was confusing to me which link and where to click on the tickets for the waiting room. My daughter got it right away.

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

LOL, same. Happy for those who were able to get the Preferred ones.

There was no way I was going to spend that much on these so y'all had no competition from me lol.
I am suprised by how fast stuff is selling out. Some of the merch is getting sold out also lol

I tried it out yesterday to make sure I knew how everything worked. That's how I knew about the different queues. There were two distinct ticket purchase images on the main D23.com page. Glad I saw that yesterday. We got preferred, but there were 2 of us trying (different accounts) each with 3-4 browsers.

I noticed that Chrome on my iPhone didn't show the countdown. I can't remember if it was like that yesterday.
