by JR Cook - 8 years ago show comments
At long last, BlizzCon 2016 has been announced!
As a bonus, it’s only two weeks until ticket sales start up, again coming in two batches for general tickets with a third option for the annual CHOC Benefit Dinner before the convention.
And for folks who were disappointed in Eventbrite’s handling of ticket sales last year, it looks like we have a new ticket vendor to brutalize. More details as they become available.
Read the full post below. And start your pools on what rock band will close out the show in the comments!
Summon your mounts, open up a portal, and set a course for Southern California for BlizzCon 2016! Blizzard’s tenth epic gaming convention and community celebration is returning to the Anaheim Convention Center on Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 5, 2016.
Group up with your fellow Blizzard gamers and get ready for two days of in-depth discussion panels with our developers, hands-on play time with our latest games, and intense esports tournaments featuring top pro gamers from around the world. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate 25 years of Blizzard games—and you, the players everywhere that have helped bring them to life.

Once again this year, Virtual Ticket buyers will have the option to purchase a special BlizzCon Goody Bag filled with a cache of loot to mark the occasion (while supplies last). Further details on the Virtual Ticket, including pricing, availability, programming info, and Goody Bag will be announced at a later date.
