Tickets usually go fast, so if you want to attend this year's show, it pays to be prepared. Ticket sales are being handled through Eventbrite this year, so a few things are different from 2013. It's worth reading our BlizzCon Ticket Info page to learn more, and we've assembled a few key bits of information here to help you get ready:


The Important Stuff:

  • During the checkout process, ticket purchasers will need to provide the full names and valid email addresses for each attendee (up to 4). You won't be able to leave these blank, but you'll have until June 6 to make changes, so don't worry too much if you're not sure who's coming yet.

  • If you're not yet sure who your guests will be, it's best to enter your own name and email address for all of your tickets during the checkout process.

  • A couple of months before the show, the ticket purchaser will receive up to 4 emails (one for each ticket purchased), each containing a unique bar code and the name of one of your attendees. Attendees must print out and present this bar-code email along with matching photo ID at BlizzCon to receive their badge granting admission to the show. Remember that all of these badge emails will be sent directly to the ticket purchaser, and it will be up to the purchaser to distribute them to their guests.

  • When ticket sales begin, make sure to select the correct quantity of tickets you want before you click Order Now. You will not have a chance to change the quantity after you’ve entered the checkout process, and if you try to go back, you’ll risk losing your place.


Other Handy Info:

  • After clicking Order Now, you may find yourself in a "waiting room" before you enter the checkout process. Ticket buyers will be sent from the waiting room to checkout in the order they arrived, and there's no need to refresh your browser. Keep in mind that being in the waiting room doesn't necessarily mean you’re guaranteed tickets.

  • Once you've entered the checkout process, you'll have 8 minutes to complete your order—a countdown will be displayed on-screen so you know how much time you have remaining. After 8 minutes, the tickets will be released for others to buy, drawing from those in the waiting room first.

  • Keep your browser window open until your ticket purchase is confirmed!

  • Keep in mind that tickets are only being sold online through Eventbrite. Customer support won't be able to place orders for you.
