Blizzard announced today that tickets for BlizzCon 2008 will go on sale Monday, August 11. Tickets will be priced at $100 a pop (as if Blizzard and co. weren't already deep enough in our pockets) and be available directly from blizzcon.com. The third semi-regular gathering of elves, trolls and spacemen will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in -- where else? -- Anaheim, California on October 10 and 11. For those unwilling to venture forth, DirecTV will be broadcasting a pay per view version right to your dome in "crystal-clear HD" (scientifically proven to be better than real life). As a bonus, new DirecTV subscribers will get the televised BlizzCon access for free.
While no one knows for sure just what blessings Blizzard will bestow upon its faithful at BlizzCon, you can bet on seeing more of the Wrath expansion for World of Warcraft, along with some new details about Starcraft II and Diablo 3. If you plan to make the pilgrimage out to Anaheim, buy your tickets early -- there's not exactly room for everyone.

They should buy a hooker for everyone that attends.

I demand cosplay pictures from anyone who's attending! I would totally crochet a little Protoss Probe to take with me.

My friend is going and she offered to pay for my ticket if I went with her. Not gonna cosplay, but I won't mind taking a few pics while I'm there and sharing with you all.

You could sell the stuff in the goodie bags they give you for more than $100. I think I'll just buy a ticket with a friend, drive up to Anaheim, and then sell what I get on Ebay.
