BlizzCon 09 tickets on sale May 16, event streamed online for first time
Blizzard
announced to its children today that they may pay for their return to the warm bosom of
BlizzCon on May 16. The cost for the "Tickets of Comradery" will set back the faitful's coin purses by $125 -- that's a 25 percent increase from the previous year. Blizzard apparently has a new system in place to prevent last year's
ticket fiasco. Come May 16, attendee hopefuls go to the
ticketing website and sit their actual butts in a virtual queue -- this will not guarantee a ticket, just that you'll be in a line for a golden ticket.
For those who can't get to the
Anaheim Convention Center on August 21 and 22, there's always the option of the pay-per-view package from DirecTV for $40. There will also be a live stream of the event online, also available for $40, for non-DirecTV customers. So, Blizzard horde, hopefully this year's ticketing process won't be visited by the "
Failoc."
