A few days ago Blizzard Put up the Order sign for their upcoming Blizzcon, Unfortunately due to high volume, and problems the system didn't work too well, and after some delays and hitches, the system went back up, and all the tickets went bye bye REALLLLLLLY fast-- as in rock concert fast... so Blizzard is doing a lottery for ~3000 tickets to be given to ONLY those people with an Active Account, I will be attempting to win a ticket or two and -provided i get a ticket(like that will happen) will give them out to someone who reads here, wants to goto blizzcon (and will report on what went on here-hey they gotta pay Somehow) and was unable to acquire them normally or via lottery.
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
