I am surprised it is not posted here, but for people who are in the area can physically attend WCS Grand Finals without having a Blizzcon ticket, it seems they are renting out the arena area that is next to the convention center. There will be 1,000 tickets for sale through Eventbrite on Oct. 7th at 11AM PST.
Beginning October 7 at 11 a.m. PDT, we’ll be selling approximately 1,000 tickets to attend the SC2 WCS Global Finals via the online event ticketing service Eventbrite. Each ticket costs $25 (plus a $2.37 service fee; limit 6) and grants you access to seating in the Loge and Terrace balcony sections of the Arena at the Anaheim Convention Center on both November 7 and 8.
The year’s biggest StarCraft® II eSports event just got even bigger! The conclusion of the SC2 World Championship Series Global Finals takes place November 7 and 8 during BlizzCon, and this year, we’re moving the action from the BlizzCon floor to the Anaheim Convention Center Arena.
Along with this Arena upgrade comes extra seating capacity, allowing us to offer the StarCraft II community another opportunity to be part of the Global Finals excitement live and in person. On October 7 at 11 a.m. PDT, a limited quantity of tickets to attend the epic conclusion of 2014 series in the Arena will go on sale to the public—here’s what you need to know.

Q: I have a BlizzCon ticket already—do I need to also purchase a StarCraft II WCS Global Finals ticket to watch the tournament in the Arena?
Your BlizzCon 2014 badge will also grant you access to the Arena to watch the tournament action live on both days of the show (November 7 and 8). General BlizzCon attendees will be able to sit in any available seat in the Arena, including the floor seats close to the action. (They’ll also have access to the Loge and Terrace if they’d like to sit with friends holding WCS-only tickets.) BlizzCon attendees will also have the option to watch certain tournaments, including the Grand Finals, simulcast on the Main and Panel stages on the main BlizzCon floor.
My friend actually just asked me this morning if I wanted to buy a Blizzcon ticket and I was seriously considering it. Wonderful that Blizzard announced this at the right moment.

Just living in the US isn't enough, gotta live in Cali for the events trust me (
I live in the largest city in the USA and no events happen here.

In terms of land area I believe Jacksonville is the largest though. NYC in terms of population.
Right. I was going by land mass. At least banjo and I got to hang in Orlando.
You know the common thread for places that have few events?
It's bloody expensive as hell to stage an event there. The entire Northeast is boned. I don't think anything will get closer to me than Columbus or Detroit. Well, Ignite is in the area but I can't think of an event that's taken place in Chicago. At least NYC got IEM NY, RedBull Battlegrounds, and you could always picket the front of the MLG offices.

Southern California is expensive but it's pretty much the center of the entertainment industry with movies, music, tv, videogames. That and I'm sure Blizzard likes to minimize employee travel.

The closer to BlizzCon, the easier it is to find last minute tickets at near cost. There is always someone with extra tickets.
Live near Louisville, Ky. I make the Blizzcon pilgrimage every year for the last 3 events (minus the one they canceled) This will be new to see is played at the arena instead of the StarCraft section in the main center.
