    And remember that this is $39.99 in USD. There's no provisions for local currencies. In some currencies, $39.99 USD is a month's wages.
    It's $40 for the virtual ticket. The 2 mounts you get for that are just extra. It's been like this for years now. Stop using clickbait titles and being so over dramatic.

    Yeah, $40, the same price the Ticket has been for years, including years when it didn't include mounts, for two mounts, access to all Blizzcon content from your home computer, as well as whatever other benefits- Overwatch Skins, Heroes of the Storm skins, Hearthstone cards, Diablo cosmetics- they'll be announcing in the next several weeks, and access to the Blizzard Store's exclusive Blizzcon attendee and virtual ticket holder merchandise.


    When two mounts purchased directly from the Blizzard Store is a total of $50.

    "Daylight robbery" indeed. Come on, dude.

    You mean like all those other deliberately unique mounts that I have had no inclination to own? Exercise some self control. What ever happened to accountability? Don't buy it if you cannot afford it. Buy it if you can and want it. This is really a double nothingburger with all the fixings on it.

    Wow you whine about just about anything don't ya? The Blizzard developers are AAA and are as professional as it gets for game developers and game studios.

    There isn't a better game studio out there in terms of them clearly communicating their games and platforms to their customers.

    40$ is a 6 hour shift here.
    You make 6 bucks an hour? I hear college is a good avenue to increasing your income over time.

    What if they made the mount really cool, because they dont wanna announce the next expansion at Blizzcon and this is a marketing trick to get people to buy the VT anyway? ;V

    £25 to watch some adverts is ridiculous

    What is the problem?

    Ppl have to spend money for watching TV, sport events and mutch more.
    I mean its not like blizzard can make blizzcon happen without money and i rather see them gain it from entry or e-ticket sells then that they spend money from sub fees that are suppose to be used for dev and support of the game.

    As for the mounts it is just smart macketing to try get ticket sells from current blizzard gamers since alot can find ways to watch blizzcon online for free this way they try to pull them in to watch it the legit way.

    Good thing all info will be posted here in timely manner just like it has always been.

    Well, it's pretty sad that unique models are locked behind paywalls, but what can you do. Nobody's forcing you to spend.
    It's a lot for a virtual ticket, but the price is probably justified in their mind by the fact that people keep buying them in droves every year.

    Where the fuck do you live that it costs $20 for a single movie ticket?

    Well in the Netherlands a movie in cinema costs like 12-16 euro depending on the running time and that is like ~ 2 hours of entertainment.

    Tell me again how you'll be forever banned from doing anything of note again in WoW if you choose not to pay those 40 bucks for the blizzcon virtual streaming ticket.

    Id agree with you if the models werent so unique. Its not just another boar model reskin. Its a very specific mount that is unlikely to get reskins.

    Yeah, costs $6 for a ticket in my town. And that's for the biggest cinema, right in the city centre.
