In the past, Disney didn't announce ticket prices until one week before the event, so it's not an usual situation. The dates are set because they had to reserve the Convention and Honda Centers and those dates can't be moved. So just sit tight and don't fret.
I think they were referring to the ticket sale dates. I wouldn't be surprised to find out on March 25th about the prices and whey they go on sale. I don't expect to find out anything more though than ticket info.
I’ve only been twice (2019,2022) and I was originally planning to go this year, but I’ve decided that it’s not the best financial decision right now with my current vacation plans for the next year.
Yup! It's so expensive, and so hard to budget without knowing what the offerings are (and also...are we going to be responsible for getting to the Honda Center?? I ran there in January but I'm not doing that again without a medal
)
Typically with D23 it’s roughly the same. D23 usually follows a model with when the big presentations are. The wrench this year is the addition of the Honda center with no further details.

For SDCC last year they had free Haunted Mansion themed pedcabs going around. Like probably at least 50 or so, I do not know how the streets close to the Honda Center compare to Gaslamp but maybe they will reuse them. Buses sound possible too, I've seen that happen as well for big events. (Less cool than a doombuggie tho)
I don’t think pedicabs could handle enough people, especially if it’s not spread out throughout the day. It sounds like it will be used in the evenings.
Seems like it’s going to look like a million person march on the Honda Center.
Ah, did not even think about the math. And I'd rather take group transit than offered than deal with rental cars and parking and all that fun. Blargh.
Exactly; so used to SDCC, didn't even think about proposed schedule with D23 and hesitancy to go.
Depends on which configuration they go for... Hall D23 held 6900 in '22; if they go for an amphitheater setup at the Honda Center it would hold 8,400 according to Wikipedia. Even if they go for the larger setup maybe they wouldn't use the upper level at all. We just don't know until they say.
I don't recall the 3-day passes selling out first day... don't remember how long but I don't think anyone trying to buy on the first day having any issues. The only pass that went instantly was the Preferred Seating Pass. And that wasn't a matter of minutes, it was basically a lottery with everyone being in the pre-sale lobby before it opened and the system randomly selected the order people got to buy. So basically, if you weren't in the lobby before the sale started you didn't get one, and the vast majority who were couldn't buy one either. So... 0 minutes for that one.
