Yep, the first batch of BlizzCon tickets have come and gone, and are already popping up at ridiculous prices on eBay, If you didn't manage to grab yours yesterday, you may not have to resort to eBay gouging just yet, as a second batch of tickets will be made available this Saturday, June 5th.
Yours now, for only $899! Be sure to keep your F5 trigger well rested and your eyes glued to the official BlizzCon website to ensure you aren't left in the dust come Saturday! Michael "MikeB" Bitton |

Out of curiosity, are these immediate turnaround resales "legal"? If I waited for a hot item to hit store shelves, had a team ready to buy up all the stock, then set up a booth outside to sell the items at a 700% markup that same afternoon, I'd guess someone would have something to say about it. :)

They do this every year, and every year some idiot is scammed. I see them wandering around the front parking lot of th conavention ceneter looking for the guy the gave seven or eight hundred dollars to who isn't showing up. A Fool and his money. |

Originally posted by soulmirror Which means absolutely nothing. The only way to know who is selling their ticket is to buy it and look at the number when you get it. So unless Blizzard is going to buy up every ticket on e-bay themselves, there's nothing that can be done to know who bought their ticket where when they show up at Blizzcon. Unless of course Blizzard wants to try to tie every ticket to the person and credit card it was originally bought by and with, and then deal with the fiasco when they have to make every person in line show their I.D, credit card, and ticket all together. -Letting Derek Smart work on your game is like letting Osama bin Laden work in the White House.

Not sure if it's true or not, but here is what was in the Info section on Ebay: Blizzard advises that they will e-mail to the buyer a bar code approximately one month before the event that must be presented along with matching photo ID to pick up the corresponding badge at the venue. Good luck with all that.... |

I hate scalpers, especially the really scummy ones that buy up limited stock on release. Lost my mind, now trying to lose yours... |

Normally I couldn't care less about BlizzCon but I am greatly looking forward to any info on Blizzard's new MMO. As much as I dislike the direction WoW took MMORPGs(namely away from UO) it still ranks as the most solid MMO ever released and so their next one should be one of the very few if not the only MMO to look forward to.
