LOL, Blizzcon Virtual Ticket now $50

[ryanmahaffe]

A bet deal is not buying the ticket and saving $50.

That's what confuses me a lot of the time. People see a "deal" like (Buy 2 get the 3rd half off) but yet you really only needed 1. Getting the other 2 isn't a deal cause your spending more then you originally intended or needed to.

Hell in a lot of cases you didn't even see the one, you just think its a good deal.

I could buy the ticket that will let me watch things

Or I could spend almost the same amount of money on Spider man, or Red Dead, or like 25 copies of Turbo pug 3D, which still sounds more enticing.

I'll buy it because I enjoy watching Blizzcon and prefer quick access to a stream of the quality that Blizzard has offered in the past. Everyone who has ever bought a Blizzcon ticket, or anything Blizzard has ever put out, has been laughed at and mocked by countless others so I'm not sure what sense of superiority some people have in this thread when they are on a website primarily dedicated to people who buy, or have bought Blizzard products.

The enjoyment individual people get out of anything is arbitrary so trying to assign an objective value to it is silly. It's worth as much as people will pay for it and just as some people might find greater value spending their money on other things, so do others find that those things are not worth that money.

50 bucks is like what? 500k gold on US? 800k on EU atm. Not a big deal. Whining for the sake of whining.

/sigh

My favorite kind of customer here! The one who clearly has more money than sense! =D

[Drust Flayer]

I'll take 3

[sosleapy]

Ya I'm not doing it and I support other people putting their foot down.

$40 was already kind of a slap in the face, $50 is basically them exploiting their fans.

Watch it literally the day after its over on YouTube.

The day after? Last years was like 2 hrs after. This is why I wont buy it when I can just see it a couple hrs later on youtube

I have gold to waste. Besides, actual money > Gold in WoW.

edit: Provided the in-game rewards are good, that is.

and this it the main problem for most of people here.

the problem is not throwing 50 $ or 800k gold - the question is if it will be worth it. and unless there is amazing mount in there no its not - for me.

Does anyone know what the in-game goods for the virtual ticket this year is yet? Or has it not been revealed yet? I look forward to those always!

nothing reveled yet . they are probably waiting to see how many people will buy without seeing rewards and then put in X amunt of stuff . if to many will buy now we wont get anything nice . simple as that.

Small indie company needs money.

Come on guys.

You do actually get punished unless you have a unique situation where you can make the trade with someone directly IRL without needing to use the interwebs to set it up.

Still, in that situation, I'd probably be the person buying the gold rather than selling it. In every case where someone comes up with something I could do with $50, I'd still have $50 leftover for BlizzCon.

I've sold gold. Didn't get punished for it. Made decent money from it too.

That said, you make so little money doing it right now unless you have millions, not really worth it.

I normally buy these, last one was shit so I'll pass this year

I liked weird Al last year though..

[WowIsDead64]

$50 to watch what amounts to a multi-day televison commercial for Overwatch. Better hurry up or you'll never get those limited edition portraits for a game you never play!

Yeah, lol, and there are even no any mounts for buying it?

Dunno, why do you guys care about it. There won't be anything interesting on this Blizzcon, except may be some obvious things, like some new info about Vanilla servers. D3, OW, HS, HotS, any new crappy mobile games, etc. aren't interesting for me. It's night in my timezone during Blizzcon, so I usually prefer to sleep during this time and read all consolidated info in the morning.

Closing ceremony is watchable for free, I believe?

Ill keep my cash and my gold, got my blizz wallet capped at $100. There will be enough streams elsewhere to worry about buying this. They didn't even say if there was going to be a WoW mount, thats the 1 main reason people would buy it, without that get outa here.

Pretty sure the show wasn’t free, had to pay for the talent somehow. Might be wrong, but regardless it’ll be on YouTube for free one day.

$50 dollars isn't that much any longer for something like this. Couple of days of news, interviews and stuff plus a lot of game stuff. We looked into tickets to see David Crosby for a couple of hours in November and that started at around $75 per person. I can't really say if being in the same room as a legend but 150 feet away in a balcony is all that much more attractive (+ parking and everything else) than staying at home for two days with some snacks and having a couple of friends over to watch the convention and chat over things.

I won't be buying it this year because there's not really anything going on that I need to see live. It appears to be pretty much a big OverWatch celebration this year and the only thing I'm regularly playing is WoW (and not that much) so I'll give it a pass and catch up with it from the site's coverage. I got it last year for the mount and watched most of it in chunks over the next week. But this year seems to be pretty much a meh for me.

So many shekels. They better deliver Indominus Devilsaur with Solar Engine attached to its scuted dick for that price.

The saddest part is seeing adults think $50 is a lot of money.....saddens me

I live in a rented apartment, don't have a car, in a shit country with a shit salary and 40€ / 50$ is a normal price for the ticket

It's more than sad :/ Especially when there's no obligation to watch it

Its sad to see adults say 50 isnt much for permission to watch what they are gona sell you next

[Deleted]

You can always watch it for free on some random Twitch streamers channel anyway.

Why pay that much to watch commercials for games?

[Netherius]

This is such a degenerate way of looking at this.. like really?

Wait what? THEY are the degenerate somehow?

At least we all know at least one person who complains on the forums about the price of Long Boi
