BlizzCon tickets on sale in August News

MMO PC News by Oli Welsh

29 July, 2008

Blizzard has announced that tickets for its third US fan convention, BlizzCon 2008, will go on sale on 11th August.

The event will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anahaim, south of Los Angeles, on 10th and 11th October. Tickets will cost USD 100 (EUR 64, GBP 51) and be available directly from the official BlizzCon website.

You can expect the usual line-up for a Blizzard event: discussion panels, hands-on with unreleased games, tournaments, and perhaps a big announcement at the opening ceremony. Attendees will certainly see more of StarCraft II, World of Warcraft and Diablo III.

"We have an entertaining show planned, and we look forward to delivering another memorable experience for our attendees," said Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime.

For an idea what to expect, check out our coverage of June's Worldwide Invitational in Paris - BlizzCon Europe in all but name.

And it's never too early to start speculating on what BlizzCon 2008's big reveal will be (if it has one). The revamped Battle.net? The Wrath of the Lich King cinematic intro? More on Diablo III? Or even Blizzard's next-generation MMO?

Don't attendees normally get redemption codes for ingame pets and beta access? Tickets seem quite reasonable really.

100 dollars = 50 quid which is the same as the wwi cost which was well worth the money. You do indeed get a in game pet and a beta access code also and at the wwi we got a nice bag filled with wow stuff, eg mouse mat etc.

The cost of the flight is indeed another story!

I think World of Warcraft now looking like an ancient rancid pile of fossilized excrement, is potentially the 'other story'.

"and perhaps a big announcement at the opening ceremony"

Very unlikely this time :)

Probably just release dates for SC2 and WotLK (and that will probably drive the US crowd insane already).
