BlizzCon Tickets On Sale In May
A tiny, little-known developer called Blizzard Entertainment is having a convention again this year. Apparently, even obscure studios can have big parties, and your chance to get tickets is coming up. C'mon! Support the underdog!
Okay, seriously. This is the sixth annual BlizzCon, and the tickets for these things sell out in a flash. So, here's what you need to know: Tickets to BlizzCon 2011 go on sale in two batches – one on May 21 and the next on May 25. Additionally, a limited number of tickets to a pre-BlizzCon charity dinner go on sale May 28.
Tickets to main event are $175 each, which is more expensive than last year (see this Gamasutra story for more on the price hike), and tickets to the benefit dinner are $500. You will be able to buy your tickets at BlizzCon's official site.
Alternately, you can pay $40 through DirecTV to basically get a pay-per-view stream of the event. Purchasers of this Virtual Ticket will still get the BlizzCon-exclusive items (yet to be revealed) for StarCraft II and WoW.
BlizzCon goes down October 21 and 22.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
