I was lucky enough to grab a ticket this morning and figured it would be best to plan things out now as far as hanging out at BlizzCon goes. This year BlizzCon is on October 22-23, 2010 which means I will be getting there probably on the morning of October 21, 2010 to pick up my tickets as early as possible. I'll be putting together a list of things you need to know about BlizzCon so you have the best time there possible as well as a list of confirmed people as well as who still needs a place to sleep and what not.

**NOTE: Also if you don't mind posting where you will be staying as well as when you will arrive at LA and how you will be getting there (post your city/state/province so people can fly together) then maybe people can meet up so that they don't have to travel alone.

+ Show Spoiler [Things You Should Know] +

Prior To BlizzCon

Arrive a day early to pick up your tickets so you don't have to waste time on the day of BlizzCon.
Bring a minibag that is big enough for you to put a few things in but not too big that it'll be a hassle to carry around.
Have everyone that you are staying with share cell numbers so that you can easily contact one another.
Food is really expensive there so if you want to spend less money bring some of your own snacks.

At BlizzCon

Know your phone numbers! I cannot stress this one enough. You want to know the number to the hotel you are staying at, the people that you came with, and a shuttle phone number (for those overseas people). Last time I went I took PrimeTimeShuttle and their number is 1 (800) 733-8267. They charge $15 per person and goes directly from LAX to the Convention Center and takes at most 1.5 hours.
There really isn't much to put here except enjoy yourself and don't get too drunk over the weekend but if anyone has something to add feel free to post it here and I'll add it.

After BlizzCon

Don't get wasted the night before you are going to leave because you might miss your ride (missed mine the year before ... god damn oversleeping lol).
Keep in touch with the people you met because you will most likely meet them again next year.
Post a blog with your pictures and experience at BlizzCon duh!

+ Show Spoiler [Things You Should Bring] +

Two pieces of photo ID to be safe
Cash (at least $300 to spend at LA).
Water bottle (you will thank me for this later).
Minibag, something not too small but not too big that it'll become a hassle to carry.
Camera/Video Camera to record and take photos of your experience there.

Kore you're so far ahead of the actual event >.> I like the initiative though, as I was surprised that no one made a thread about actually getting blizzcon tickets.

By the way, I'm going to go ahead and confirm, I'm going ^^

Nice Batman planning stages. I'll be there with a 1-2 people. No rides though I live local 5 minutes away which dramatically cuts down on air/gas + hotel muahahahah

Bring food if you don't want to pay for food there. Otherwise you're sorta stuck with the 7-11 or subway nearby. I think theres a frozen yogurt place around there too.

Updated, also if you guys want to post your cities (where you will be departing) maybe people can fly together?

Confirm!

I'm probably going to driving down from UCSB/Goleta, CA on Friday morning (maybe Thursday night). I'm coming by myself as of now. I can give people above 21 or something rides. Any younger, and you'll probably have to drive because I can't legally drive people under 21

we'll either be driving down from Lethbridge, AB or fly there from Calgary. It's up in the air right now.

the pizzahut in the hotel just outside the convention center wasn't too bad of a deal. definitely a much better deal than the food inside the palce.
