Get ready Blizzard fans, because tickets are about to go on sale for BlizzCon. Scheduled to take place November 3 and 4, the event will feature all things Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch. This year, players can expect installations, art, and “thematic spaces” intended to make players feel like they’ve entered the universe. This will be the first BlizzCon of this kind featuring a “giant playground” for all of the Blizzard communities.
Of course, the important thing now is getting to attend. And that means buying tickets. On Saturday, July 8 tickets will go on sale at 10:00 am Pacific time. Blizzard is offering two tiers of tickets. The first runs $300 and includes access to all halls, early access to the BlizzCon Store, exclusive goodies, and an official backpack. The second tier – the Portal pass – is $800 and includes everything from the General Admission pass as well as an exclusive Portal Pass lounge, separate registration and security lines, and early entry (although Saturday’s early entry is to the lounge only).
A second wave of tickets will be put up for sale on July 22nd. In either wave you’ll be capped at 2 tickets per transaction and you’ll need an AXS account to purchase the tickets.
If you’re wondering what the Portal Pass lounge consists of, it includes a private viewing lounge, private concession, concierge support, meet and greets with Blizzard employees, and more. The post doesn’t specify how many of each type of ticket will be available, but we’re sure they’ll run out quickly.
Note: Activision Blizzard has been sued by California’s Civil Rights Department, alleging violations of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act and Equal Pay Act. CEO Bobby Kotick is alleged to have known about the alleged violations within his company. These allegations have all been denied by Activision Blizzard and the company points to additional diversity and inclusion training as past examples of taking the accusations seriously at the time they were made.
