I have posted about Blizzcon tickets on sale a while ago. Today, the tickets are sold out and you will have to wait until 30th May 2009 to get the tickets, if you haven’t got yours.
With thousands of people on queue, it is going to be really hard to get those tickets.
Have you read the Blizzcon Ticket Queue System to understand how to get those tickets. Better read them fast because you will need those info.
Here is a quick recap on what you need to do in order to get those tickets.
1. Create a Battle.net account.
2. Update your payment information. Very important because doing this way before the purchase will speed things up.
3. On the day of ticket sale, if the shopping activity reaches a certain level, you will be in queue. This is to control the ticket sale is based on first come first served basis. When you are in queue it is not guaranteed that you will get your tickets. However, if you are not in queue, then you are able to purchase the tickets immediately.
4. Once you are in queue, you will have to wait for your turn. When you turn has come, you will have 15 minutes to finalize your purchase. After 15 minutes you will be purged and you will have to start the queue again.
Make sure you understand how it works so you can get your tickets rather than getting stuck at home with DirectTV.

Here is one of the most popular question:
What is the Blizzard Store’s queue system?
The Blizzard Store’s queue system is designed to help streamline the purchasing process for visitors during periods of high demand. Whenever a certain number of store visitors are checking out simultaneously, additional visitors who attempt to check out will be added to a “wait list” on a first-come, first-served basis. While in this queue, the Blizzard Store provides you with regular feedback about the estimated wait time and the remaining quantity of items you are attempting to purchase. When you reach the front of the queue, you will be able to proceed to checkout and complete your purchase.
