    Suggestion incoming:

    I couldn't get the tickets online as well last year. But the day that people had to go pick up the tickets from the convention center (the day prior to the first day of Blizzcon) I searched on Craigslist to see if anyone was selling tickets. Oddly enough, there where numerous people selling their tickets as they couldn't make the convention. And due to rules and regulations, they can't charge you more for the ticket then what they paid for online. They can, however, charge you for the swag bag. Running price for a bag was about $50 a bag.

    All I had to do was meet the guy in Anaheim on the night prior to Blizzcon. He went with his email confirmation that you he got, picked up the two tickets, and we did the exchange of funds for the tickets and swag bag that very night. Best advice though, do the transfer somewhere public, just for safety and what not.

    If you are looking for tickets and you can't get them online as they do sell stupid fast, search Craigslist the day they start handing out the tickets, do some research and talk to the person selling the tickets, and you should be good to go on getting yourself a ticket.

    With current exchange rate: $40 = £24.47

    $175 is a stupid amount of money for tickets. I mean last year was really boring, as we knew almost everything about Cataclysm anyway. I'm not a SC2 player, so I can only assume they will blow us away with Diablo 3. I wont make the same mistake again.

    I have to be honest mate, that sounds dodgy as hell.

    To everyone complaining about the ticket price.

    They stated that at the previous price they were losing around 20,000 dollars to host the event. Blizzard is not being greedy or selling out. They are trying to break even.
