The second round of BlizzCon 2011 tickets are going on sale this evening in just a few hours at 10pm EDT / 7pm PDT. The first round went down last Saturday morning as planned, and tickets sold out in just a matter of minutes (technically, the queue for ticket sales was filled in less than a second). This demand is extra surprising, especially considering that ticket prices to the annual Irvine, CA-based fan convention went up this year to $175 a piece.
Still, if you want to try your hand at Blizzard Entertainment's least fun game ever and attempt to buy some tickets of your own, you can join the party on the Blizzard store website later on this evening. Good luck to everyone; may your F5 skills be strong.

Learn from my friend's mistake last Saturday and don't freakishly spam the F5 key. He hit F5, the purchase page loaded but he was already hitting F5 again, so the page reloaded again. That probably not even 1 second delay put him somewhere around 8k in the queue.
I was lucky, started out in the low 700s in the queue, got my ticket.

I dont like this sale format. They should sell a few tickets every day year round until they reach the maximum limit. Then riddle the page with advertisements and earn big bucks for consistant page views.

@Morisato13 As long as my monthly fee doesn't go over $16.50 (stupid internet purchases taxes....) Blizzard's well within their rights to do whatever they wish within reason to make money. Taking advantage of the current ad revenue model is smart, not predatory.
