The D23 Expo is the Walt Disney Company’s fan convention that happens every other year. Many fans love attending the D23 Expo as it brings the Disney community together and features panel discussions and presentations that often offer first looks at upcoming projects as well as major announcements.

Well, the next D23 Expo is happening later this year and it’s safe to say that fans cannot wait. Yesterday, D23 had a Visa pre-sale window for those who own a Disney Visa credit card. Some lucky fans were able to secure 3-day tickets and even individual days during the pre-sale, but within an hour, all tickets were booked.

This afternoon, tickets went on sale to the general public, and thousands of fans entered the queue to try and purchase tickets. Within minutes of D23 tickets going on sale, the preferred seating option was completely sold out.

In the image above, which was taken at approximately 3:30 p.m., you can see that the 3-day preferred seating ticket is sold out. Reports were coming in from social media within 15 minutes of the tickets going on sale stating that the preferred seating was already sold out.

If you are hoping to purchase tickets to the 2022 D23 Expo, be sure to enter the queue as soon as possible as we expect all tickets to sell out very soon.

The 2022 D23 Expo will be taking place in Anaheim, California, at the Anaheim Convention Center near Disneyland Resort. The event will last three days on September 9, 10, and 11. One thing that fans are looking forward to seeing at the event is Walt Disney’s abandoned plane, which will be restored and available for Guest viewing at the Expo!
