Holy crap, they sold out in 5 minutes (or less), I must have timed the refresh perfectly. Blizzard gamer of 20 years, going to my first Blizzcon, im so hyped!

[Rico9240]

Bots completing automatic scripts, gah, this year sucks, first year in a while i'm not going

Sold out already

I clicked within two seconds of them going on sale (had just refreshed), got in line, and after 4 minutes of waiting was dumped out with a 'No Tickets are Available' message. Crazy.

I feel like events like these need to be a lottery system instead of 'first-come, first-served' - at least then people would feel like they had a shot.

First-come is much fairer than a lottery system when it comes to such things, though.

God damn, sold out literally in a minute...

[Zeidwinder]

Quite amazed that I managed to get tickets this time around. Was expecting the same disappointment and frustration as Wednesday evening.

Yea, same. 4 minutes to sell out is pretty ridiculous.

[Deleted]

Woo my group of 12 is going!

[Azrajin]

Was there bang on time same thing 4 minutes kicked out no tickets available.

If it was to genuine just not being lucky I wouldn't mind but it's not its scalping automated bots and because of it I feel like I've just been repeatedly punched in the nuts.

[Msshammy]

Cheer up! There's PLENTY on eBay for the low price of $500+ each! LOL...

[Tarx]

WTF ONLY 1000tickets this year ? sold out in 5mins ?
DAMN YOU BLIZZARD !!!

[Melbufrahma]

our group managed to snag 14 tickets today i think, much better than on wed when we only managed 4

[Reyuna]

DAMN YOU BLIZZARD !!!

Pretty sure the capacity is around 25k? Yes I know there are some special people that will get an invite regardless.

[Rotomon]

Its unfortunate that the second day has an early buy time. Was not able to get free time at work to buy them. Even with 7 tabs open on Wednesday I wasn't able to get tickets. I think scalpers should have their accounts perma banned.

[Faeldan_US]

look on stubhub and ebay I bet some are already up

Don't worry, you can get them for triple the price, it's totally not scummy to resell tickets on ebay /s

Blizzard raised prizes on their WoW stuff by 25%. So, why shouldn't people earn money with Blizzcon tickets? It's a market where you can earn money.

Because it's illegal in the state of california:

A Under California Penal Code Section 346, a misdemeanor can be filed if:

• Someone sells a ticket for admission to an event without the written permission of the owner or operator of the property where the event is taking place.

• The seller obtained that ticket for resale at a price higher than face value.

• The transaction occurs on the grounds of or inside the event location.

[Onikaroshi]

Doesn't interest me in my country.

Doesn't matter, law on ticket sales is based on the state the event is taking place in, they may not be able to get ahold of you while you sit in your country of residence but if you were to say, go to blizzcon yourself after they found out you were scalping you could be arrested. Moreso it means any site hosting tickets could be held liable for those illegal tickets and should probably be pulling them, no sites to sell them on, no money.
