Blizzard just announced the dates that Blizzcon tickets will go on sale. Tickets will be bought through the Blizzard Storeusing a Battle.net account. Tickets will be $125 dollars a piece. (Up from $100 last year.) Blizzard has also set up a second date, May 30th, for those unable to purchase tickets on the 16th.

If you attended Blizzcon last year you understand how frustrating it was and how many issues kept arising. This year Blizzard has made upgrades to the Blizzard Store including a first-come, first-served queue system and a fixed time limit for completing purchases. You can read further details on the que system here.

Blizzard is also bringing back the coverage on DirecTV. Existing DirecTV customers will be able to purchase the Pay Per View coverage for $39.95. In addition, those who buy this will also be able to view the internet stream of the event coverage. Also, in the weeks ahead DirecTV will be promoting the Blizzcon coverage, allowing anyone who signs up for DirecTV that is not currently a customer to recieve all of this forfree. Those watching on DirecTV will also recieve the in-game item that will be announced at a later date.

Blizzcon is being held on August 21st, and 22nd at the Anaheim convention center in Anaheim, California.

I myself attended Blizzcon last year, and I must say that it's an absolutely amazing experience. Theres nothing like it, I certainly recommend going if you're able to. I plan to attend this year as well, and will likely provide coverage throughout.

Hope to see you all there!
