First Batch of BlizzCon 2009 Tickets Sold Out

Blizzard has just informed us that the first batch of Blizzcon tickets has now sold out. There will be a second oppertunity for those who did not manage to buy a ticket on May 30th.

For those unable to attend the show, coverage of the show will also be offered as a Pay Per View event, available both via satellite and Internet stream.

From what I heard, the new queue system sure did cause some long queues. The event sold out in mere minutes.

29 minutes to be exact. At least that was the time between their forum announcements of them being for sale and being sold out.

Sounds like the queue system worked well though. Not everyone who wanted tickets got them which would be impossible, but at least everyone didn't spend all day trying to buy tickets from a broken system.

the moment tickets went on sale i was queued in the 7000 spot. i had no chance.....

The highest number I have heard people saw was about 24000, which is well over what I believe to be the total number of (10000-15000) tickets actually being sold.

15000 last year, 20000+ this year. They are selling really fast.

the video game industry have already overthrown the movie industry. Who knows, maybe we do get to see 100K events for games in the future as well :P

of how much the movie industry is loosing to piracy compared to the videogame industry.

Wow, that was fast.

Heh, yea it was. It caught me by surprise really. The event is bigger, they have some sort of queue system in place and the ticket price is $125 usd and it still sold in a flash.
