by JR Cook - 11 years ago show comments
Tickets for BlizzCon 2013 sold out in record time, as usual, but if you weren’t quick enough to get your hands on one or couldn’t make the trek to Anaheim, don’t despair — the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket is back!
Priced at just $39.99 versus $175 for a regular ticket, Virtual Tickets ensure that you’ll still have access to a live video stream of events at the convention (eSports fans will be able to watch the WCS livestream from the con via StarCraft 2’s WCS site with or without a ticket), the same exclusive pet as the attendees in Anaheim, the ability to purchase BlizzCon’s event merchandise, and who knows what else? It’s all of the experience without having to worry about long lines at the airport, high-priced hotel rooms, or taking time off from work!
You can purchase your ticket from Blizzard directly or if you have DirectTV you can pay for the pay per view. Unlike the physical tickets, there’s no limit to how many virtual tickets can be sold, so you can snag one — or five — at your leisure!
BlizzCon 2013 and its livestream will take place on Friday, November 8th and Saturday, November 9th.
