Missed Out on BlizzCon Tickets? You Have Another Opportunity July 5th

by - 7 years ago

For those that went to BlizzCon last year, you would have noticed a new hall being built onto the Anaheim Convention Center – and that left several wondering if BlizzCon would be able to expand to allow more people in for future events.

Well, it looks like the new hall will be open in time for BlizzCon 2017, and because of that, Blizzard is having a 3rd ticket sale on July 5th.

So if you missed out on tickets earlier this year, you still have another shot of making it. Tickets will go on sale Thursday July 5th at 10 AM PDT at universe.com

If you didn’t get a ticket in the first two sales, get ready for another shot! Our third set of BlizzCon tickets will go on sale:

  • Wednesday, July 5 at 7:00 p.m. PT

This third ticket sale will once again be hosted by Universe.com, and tickets are priced at $199 each (plus applicable taxes and fees). This sale will work just like our previous two, but if you’d like more info, check out the BlizzCon Ticket page and Badge Information page for all the details.

Blizzard Entertainment’s two-day gaming convention and community celebration returns to the Anaheim Convention Center on November 3 and 4 for a weekend full of hands-on gaming, in-depth developer panels, incredible esports competition, and more.

Virtual Ticket – Coming Soon!

If you can’t make it to the show in person, you’ll still have a chance to join the celebration from home with the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, which will provide live streaming coverage to viewers around the world. Stay tuned for more details.

Check out the BlizzCon Event Info page for lots more information on prepping for the show and the upcoming ticket sales.

Look for more information on the events and activities at BlizzCon as the show approaches. We’ll see you in November!

Q&A:

Q: Why are more tickets on sale?

A: Until recently, we weren’t sure if the new hall at the Anaheim Convention Center would be ready in time for BlizzCon. Once we confirmed it would be, we worked quickly to determine how we’d use the space and how many more people we could accommodate while preserving the awesomeness of the BlizzCon experience.

Q: Why don’t you sell even more tickets? More people can fit in the convention center, right?

A: We truly want everyone to have a great time at BlizzCon, and part of that is making sure we strike the right balance between the content—our stages, events, demos, and so on—and the number of live attendees. Having too many people packed into the convention center would detract from the experience of being able to mingle with newfound friends and catch all the panels and esports events that you’d like. We’re excited that we’ll have access to a new hall, and we’re looking forward to making BlizzCon an unforgettable experience for everyone who attends.
