BLIZZARD ALWAYS SELLS THESE TICKETS IN BATCHES. IF THEY DO NOT RELEASE ANOTHER BATCH OF TICKETS I WILL STEP DOWN FROM WHATEVER IT IS I DO AND PUT STRAFE IN CHARGE. THATS HOW CONFIDENT I AM THAT THIS WILL BE FINE

I'd love to, but there's this little thing that us SC/D2 players have that WoW fags don't. It's called a job and it tends to make us miss the 2minute windows of extreme lag we have to buy it ticket if we're lucky enough to actually use the site.

Yeah... They always don't announce a sale date either. 2/2 isn't really what I consider an 'always'. You may be right though, so we'll see. I don't expect more tickets to go on sale, but let's hope they do. Even if they do, it'll still be a bitch to get tickets. =(

remember how it was for wwi?
when the rereleased it, meat, me, rage all failed to get it on the first release despite being RIGHT THERE.

Thena bout 4 hours later we found out they were randomly releasing more tickets periodically that day. Now, WWI's main sales was nowhere near as chaotic and on high demand as this current blizzcon run.

as i said in the other thread. WIll there be another batch? Yes. Will we actually be abel to go through the system and get tickets? I really, really dont like my chances james.

I think we should set something up in IRC where someone who seems to be running fine on the site orders 5 tickets with 4 others on it with their names so its more likely that we get more people in.

IDK how it would work, but it's just an idea.

I've been looking for someone that is attending that would be willing to part with the Pandarean Brewmaster Bottle Opener that comes in the blizzcon grab bag for a price. Depending on how dumb or awesome this looks, i'd really like to use this for work, I'm a bartender in las vegas. PM ME thx

If Kennigit is right and they randomly have another batch of tickets or some how TL acquires some tickets, and I am not around, someone please get me one I will definitely pay you for the ticket asap and will definitely go.

PS- What happened with the stuff they did last year, donating a few tickets to a bunch of sites to have contests and what not for tickets. They did nothing like that this year..

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
