Blizzard has cordoned off two fleeting moments in time next month in which fans can attempt to spend $US175 per ticket to attend the annual celebration of all things Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo-related in Anaheim, California.
Blizzard’s first batch of tickets to BlizzCon 2010 sold out quickly yesterday. As expected, a nice chunk of them are now available on eBay for more than double the price. Now how much would you pay?
Mark your calendars, Diablo, StarCraft and Warcraft fans, as Blizzard lays out two dates in early June for you to attempt to spend $US150 a ticket to BlizzCon 2010.
As Fahey pointed out yesterday, Blizzcon tickets went on sale Monday morning only to get log-jammed with a flood of errors. At 10:40 p.m. last night Blizzard decided to pull the plug on ticket sales temporarily and try to figure out what the problem was:
Update: 9:40 PM PDT – We have appreciated everyone’s patience as we’ve worked to address issues with the BlizzCon ticket sales today. To avoid having people stay up into the early hours attempting to make ticket purchases, we will take ticket sales down and continue implementing optimisations through tonight and tomorrow morning.
There are still plenty of tickets available, so if you weren’t able to purchase tickets today, please check back tomorrow. We’ll continue to provide updates on the World of Warcraft forums here.
I haven’t checked yet, but in theory purchasing your BlizzCon tickets today should be a much smoother experience.
