Massive Celebration Anaheim Update - Tickets, Merchandise & Lyte Resales!

 


It's finally happening!!!

We are 80 days away from Star Wars Celebration Anaheim and ReedPOP announced today that long awaited ticket resale will take place next Tuesday, March 15th, along with new merchandise pre-orders, the return of the Lyte ticket exchange, and new covid entry requirements.

TICKETS

Tickets go on sale next Tuesday, Match 15th, at 9am PT, and ReedPOP are advising that there will only be a limited number available. All ticket types, including 4 Day badges and VIP Jedi Master badges, will be available. For US attendees, badges will then be mailed out ahead of the event. All international attendees will need to collect their badges from Will Call at the convention center.

LYTE TICKET EXCHANGE

If you don't manage to get tickets next week, don't worry. The Lyte ticket exchange will reopen once tickets are back on sale. However, it does appear that Lyte tickets will no longer be resold at face value. The official page says Lyte will "take into account supply (returns), demand (requests), and the prices on the secondary market and then provide the most competitive price for both sellers and buyers. For requests, the price is not set to a fixed % above or below face value, but we will always undercut the secondary (up to 20%)."

PRE-ORDER MERCHANDISE


Alongside the ticket pre-sale, fans will be offered the opportunity to pre-order a range of Celebration merchandise from T-shirts to tote bags. Fans who already have tickets will be able to pre-order this merchandise from shop.starwarscelebration.com from this Friday, March 11th. Sales begin at 9am PT. As with tickets, US attendees will be mailed their merchandise pre-orders ahead of the show whilst international guests will need to collect theirs from Will Call at the convention center. I've also added photographs and pricing for all of the available merchandise to the 2022 Show Store page.

VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS

I'm just going to copy this direct from the official site so there's no confusion:

"In order to provide the best and safest fan experience possible, Star Wars Celebration 2022 will require proof of full vaccination for age 5+ from an FDA or WHO approved or authorized vaccine. For attendees under age 5, we will require proof of a negative test with a timestamp showing it was performed no more than 1 day before admission (antigen) or 2 days before admission (PCR). Every attendee will be required to wear an approved face covering at all times while attending the show. We've taken proactive steps and implemented guidelines based on public health guidance to help support a safe and comfortable experience. Our team is constantly reviewing the Star Wars Celebration requirements. Please check our Health and Safety page often for the most up-to-date information."


It's been a long road, but we're almost there! I can't wait to see you all in Anaheim!!

First Details on New Virtual Queuing System Revealed

Image
Even without The Star Wars Show (what happened?!) there's still some big Celebration news today as eager fans across America began to receive their badges and the first information on the new queueing system. Whilst the full details of the new system haven't been revealed yet, it looks like Celebration's infamous overnight line ups (seen above in an image from WDW Info) are now a thing of the past. The Resistance Broadcast's Lacey Gilleran shared pictures of her VIP badge today (featuring some great Qui-Gon Jinn artwork) which came bearing the message Activate your badge now to maximize your SWCC Experience! StarWarsCelebration.com/Activate The link takes you to a GrowTix page that essentially tells you that your Celebration badge is your first step into a larger world. When you activate your badge (using the code under the QR barcode as seen in the picture below) you will automatically be chosen to battle for the Light or Dark side of the Force. Yea
