CE23 Celebration Europe 23 - April 7-10 2023

I am hoping to be lucky enough to acquire 2 Jedi Master tickets. If not, if anyone is planning on selling 2 on the Lyte ticket exchange, please let me know.

Thanks

 

Me after they announced England: No way can I afford this and go.
Me after 30 days: Well, maybe
Hotels are too rich for me though. I have never been to England so I am not familiar with the mass transit but does anyone have recommendations for cheaper hotels nearby? It would be great if the cost was in the lower part of $150 to 200 range. I don't mind taking trams or trains up to 30 miles away if relatively easy to get on and off. I prefer not to get on buses or having to deal with transfers. If I go I would probably do a 7 day trip and spend the other days checking out London.

 

I'm currently in line on 4 separate devices, each of which are saying that my estimated wait time is more than an hour! Something tells me Jedi VIP passes will have sold out before it's my turn!!

 

Yeah, I am at a hour also.
How does that work with separate devices? Do you actually have a different Q id number for each device? I always assumed that if all your devices are going through the same router/ISP that the ID would be the same.

 

This queue system using "Queue-it" is the same system Disney has been using for its own events. As long as the device is different it shouldn't matter if on the same router/IP. In my case I'm using my iPhone, an iPad, an iPad Pro and my PC. I didn't know until the queue started today that it would be the same one Disney has been using but I opened up windows on separate devices just in case and it seems like that was worth doing!

The iPhone is now showing a 13 minutes wait, the PC is showing a 16 minutes wait and the Pro is showing 35 minutes. The older iPad is still showing over an hour!

 

Jedi Master sold out. Help me Lyte, you are my only hope

 

Looks like I'll have to be relying on success in panel lotteries again as there's no VIP for me this time and I've just got the regular 4 day pass! I knew it would be too much to ask to get VIP two celebrations running but until it was impossible there was always hope! Oh well I guess I should be glad I saved over £600 through VIP selling out before I even got the chance to purchase!

Good luck to those of you still trying to purchase!

 

Weird, it is showing VIP and 4 day sold out, got in 46 min after start.
I am trying refresh to see anyone leaves without buying the tickets in their cart.

 

I just waited in the queue for almost an hour. Unfortunately, yes the VIP and 4-day passes are already sold out. Didn't want to buy the individual day passes, so I'll try my luck on Lyte when it becomes available

 

Man it would have been amazing to go to London for Cele...maybe next time.

 

It's worth refreshing as I keep seeing 4 day adult tickets showing back on sale periodically. Even though I've got my 4 day pass now, I've kept one of the devices open so I can keep an eye on how tickets are selling.

 

I refresh and it shows them as available but when I go to check out, they're sold out again.

When does Lyte usually start having tickets?

 

I picked up a Friday pass. I figure this will give me a shot at catching the opening day panel, which is usually the most substantive news-wise. Then I can spend the rest of the trip going to other parts of Europe, where hopefully the accommodations will be cheaper

I may be desperate for VIP tickets, but not that much! Madness!! $4500 each with a Lyte workaround. Should not be allowed.

 

Frankly I never thought that the VIP tickets were worth what Reed charges, so that goes doubly so (or in the case, quadruply so) for these eBay listings.

 

Have you had VIP? I don't think I've ever talked to a former VIP who didn't think the experience was worth it (at face value anyway).

 

I was lucky enough to get 2 for Celebration 2016 in London. They were worth every penny and half the price of CE2023. It was an experience i will never forget. My first and only Celebration so far.

 

I really wish more could be done to combat this type of thing. I get that things can happen (e.g. pandemics) in between the time of purchase and the actual event which can cause people to have to change their plans but there is no way anyone is purchasing a VIP ticket today and then putting it right away on ebay without trying to scam others.

I wasn't sure when I was lucky enough to secure a VIP for Anaheim whether I'd regret spending that amount of money but I agree with the feedback from SWIG that it is worth it if secured at face value.

In Anaheim I was able to sleep in later as I knew I was able to get in to the main panels without having to wait in line for hours or rely on a lottery to get in; I was able to get all my official store shopping done the night before Celebration whilst everything was still in stock and I was able to get into every panel that was held on the main Celebration stage and secure a good seat. I even made it into the 11am panel on the Friday when I had a Ewan photo pass booked for the morning as I was able to use the VIP line when they started the photo ops at 10:30am and still make it over to the main stage with 10 minutes to go and still get in!

 

Your points are very valid and it is unfortunate that some folks see this as an opportunity to make a profit off of others.

I'm hoping that any tickets that might be available through Lyte would be available sooner rather than closer to Celebration. Given that it is in London, more time will be needed to secure plane tickets, passports, lodging, etc. for those who may be traveling from the U.S. or other countries.

The face value of VIP tickets is high, however, the benefits seem worth it for less stress and anxiety
