Pretty much, I remember last year you had to enter the ticket information at the time of purchase, which I figured was a move by Blizzard to stop scalping of tickets. When I saw the information on the Battle.net site, I was like "Holy shit, this just encourages scalping." Let me see if I can find the exact wording on the site.
"The full name of the attendee must be specified in the fields below. For each attendee, you will receive an e-mail containing a bar code to print out approximately one month before BlizzCon. Each attendee must print and present this bar-code email, along with valid photo ID matching the name on the bar-code email, to receive a badge at BlizzCon. If you are uncertain of the names of any additional guests, please enter your own name for each unknown attendee, and pick up all of the badges yourself. ***Note that a badge cannot be claimed at BlizzCon without photo ID matching the attendee name on the bar-code email!"
Okay, it's not as bad as I thought (I thought it was "if you don't know the attendee's name...", but it can still be seen as more than a "if you don't know how to spell the attendee's name"), but that's still tremendously bad, and basically Blizzard's way of saying "We don't promote scalping, but we'll allow it."
I've thought about selling tickets before, and it would be tempting to buy up a few and make up the cost of the trip, however, I wouldn't do that when there are actually TL.netters who want to go, and are screwed because scalpers get a better spot in line than they do, and buy up all the tickets.

At Wcg finals we got a big room and split it with like 5-6 guys plus extras throughout the tourney made it much cheaper and it was a blast.Exept Inc throwing glasses at the sliding glass door.^_^

So you buy 5 tickets anyways and sell them to TL members first for little or no profit. Any left over sell for 500$ to WoW nerds.
