BlizzCon Tickets Now On Sale; Armory DownMay 16th, 2009 at 10:17 AM by Togikagi

UPDATE: Nethaera has announced the first batch of tickets has already sold out. The post was made at 10:29 a.m. PDT, less than 30 minutes after the tickets went on sale. If you still want to attend, plan to be near a computer on May 30 when the second batch becomes available. Also, the Armory is now up and running.

BlizzCon tickets are officially on sale! The event takes place at the Anaheim Convention Center from Aug. 21-22 and tickets cost $125 each. You can buy tickets here. If you miss out, a second batch will go on sale May 30.

Also, Blizzard has temporarily disabled the Armory to "further alleviate potential load" on the Web site while people buy tickets. There is currently no estimated time on when the Armory will be back up.

LOL the Armory doesn't make them a dime, but Blizcon tickets do, several dimes at $125.00 a pop. Bottom line is Blizzard is out to make a buck, HOWEVER they can. But despite the note here the armory was down for less than 45 mins during the rush and is now back up. What amazes me is that noone tries to kill the useless morons employed by blizzard as dev's at an event like this. I would be very afraid to let it be known I was a GM or Dev for blizzard for just that reason, their condescending attitude and lack of skills has made them 'EVERYONEs' friend...ROTFLMAO

What the hell is wrong with these guys? MORE people and sites use the armory than will ever buy at ticket. Ever hear of TicketMaster? That's their business, let them handle it, maybe not have the royal FUBAR they had last year? Bliz's job is game evelopment and marketing.... NOT ticket sales.

If they want to be that stupid and save their precious commissions... they have MORE than enough money to place ticket sales on another cheap server that would handle the traffic.
