Hey blizzcon attendee's:
Since everyone going to Blizzcon from TL will probably be reading this thread, I'll post this here too:
There'll be some kind of "Fansite Mixer" event, exact time still to be determined, basically just a casual event for fansites and the blizzard community team, snacks/drinks and so on. If you're interested in attending post / pm me your name and I'll include it on the list to blizzard.
It will just be a drop-in so you are not obligated to go just because you have access, just a casual snacks/drinks/have a chat with other SC players/blizz members.
I've gotta submit the list within the next few days so if you're interested post/PM me your name asap plz

Blizzard Gamers,
On behalf of everyone at Blizzard, I want to apologize for the challenges and frustrations you experienced while trying to purchase BlizzCon tickets on Monday and Tuesday. BlizzCon is about the positive experiences you all have had with Blizzard games. As a result of this week's events, the excitement that many of you felt about the show has turned into dissatisfaction and disappointment.
Due to these circumstances, we've reevaluated our convention hall space and come up with some solutions that will allow us to offer 3,000 more tickets for sale. We know this will not be enough to satisfy the very high level of demand for tickets this year, but we want to ensure that BlizzCon remains a great experience for those of you who are able to attend. To avoid the issues many of you faced this week, we'll be selling these 3,000 via a lottery. We'll post further details once our plans are finalized. Please note that the lottery will only be open to those with an active Blizzard Account as of 9:00 PM PDT on August 12, the time that the “Sold Out” notice was posted.
I, and everyone else at Blizzard, share the frustration and disappointment that many of you have expressed as a result of this process. We'll do what it takes to avoid this type of situation in the future.
Sincerely,
Mike Morhaime
