Get Ready To Raid BlizzCon 2016 November 4 and 5

Summon your mounts, open up a portal, and set a course for Southern California for BlizzCon 2016! Blizzard’s tenth epic gaming convention and community celebration is returning to the Anaheim Convention Center on Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 5, 2016.

Group up with your fellow Blizzard gamers and get ready for two days of in-depth discussion panels with our developers, hands-on play time with our latest games, and intense esports tournaments featuring top pro gamers from around the world. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate 25 years of Blizzard games—and you, the players everywhere that have helped bring them to life.

BlizzCon 2016 Tickets
BlizzCon 2016 tickets will go on sale in two batches on Wednesday, April 20 at 7 p.m. PT and Saturday, April 23 at 10 a.m. PT through the online event ticketing service Universe, priced at $199 each (plus applicable taxes and fees). Check out the BlizzCon Ticket webpage for all the details.

We’re also planning a special pre-BlizzCon Benefit Dinner the evening of Thursday, November 3 in support of Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), where guests will have a chance to raise a glass and geek out with developers, artists, community team representatives, and other members of the Blizzard family. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, April 27 at 7 p.m. PT, priced at $750 each, and attendance will be limited—visit the Charity Ticket page for more information.

Virtual Ticket and Goody Bag – Coming Soon!
If you can’t make it to the show in person, don’t fret! You’ll be able to participate in our tenth BlizzCon from the comfort of your home with the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, offering comprehensive live coverage of the event via a multichannel Internet stream. Once again this year, Virtual Ticket buyers will have the option to purchase a special BlizzCon Goody Bag filled with a cache of loot to mark the occasion (while supplies last). Further details on the Virtual Ticket, including pricing, availability, programming info, and Goody Bag will be announced at a later date.

Check out the BlizzCon Ticket Page for more information, and be sure to visit the Universe ticket page at the dates and times above for a chance to purchase a ticket to the show. We hope to see you there!

Guess I'll just get a cheapy virtual ticket then. Also weren't these 20 dollars less last year for the basic tickets?

[PhilUK]

Won't this be a bit too close to the first Tier of Legion?

[randprin]

what kills any chance i'll ever have of attending a blizzcon is the fact i have to buy the ticket 6+ months in advance, i mean, i can't tell if i can afford time off from work that far ahead. i really wish you could buy a ticket a lot closer to the event, even 2 months would be a reasonable time to plan ahead, but 6+ months? not really. (at least, not for me)

Meh I'll definitely get a Virtual Ticket but don't have the money to fly to America... or the friends to go with haha

[Jaylock]

I'll be there. Will be my 6th time going.

[Tierbook]

You think the expansion will be out by then?

[PuppetShowJustice]

Might grab a virtual ticket. Now begins the wait for the reveal of this year's virtual goodie bag contents.

You think the expansion will be out by then?

Yes 100% but not sure what they will have to show this year at blizzcon...

[Varjo410]

I was convinced they were gonna change it to 3 days this year. All the panels felt so rushed last year, they went over things so fast with really short Q&A's.
Add to that it's the 10th anniversary of Blizzcon and the 25th of Blizzard it would have made sense for it to be bigger.

[Padwarle]

Yes 100% but not sure what they will have to show this year at blizzcon...

For WoW, I would say some 7.1 news.

[Masternewt]

Does the money from charity sale go to the WoW team?

[High Marshal Sigismund]

Please announce Diablo 3 expansion #2 this time

[Sentynel]

Virtual ticket for this year too, just like last year.

It doesn't feel like they'll have much to announce with Overwatch and Legion already out. Maybe the future of D3 and Starcraft? We'll see, I suppose!

[oqtopus]

[Deleted]

[Alvito]

Safe to say Legion will be up by November at the latest. If not there will be nerd riots at Blizzcon, sure that is about as dangerous as a swarm of butterflies, but they won't want to deal with it.

[Demeter]

Why do I get the feeling that Legion will be delayed?
