BlizzCon 2019 will feature a wide range of attractions and
activities for attendees, including in-depth developer panels,
world-class esports competition, and opportunities for community
creativity to shine in the spotlight. In addition, BlizzCon is
expanding to include more active hall space at the convention
center as well as the new “BlizzCon Pregame Festivities”—a
fun and casual get-together running outside of the convention
center on the day before the show.
“BlizzCon has served as a home away from home for the Blizzard
community, a place where online friends can meet up in real life
and new friendships are formed,” said J. Allen Brack, president of
Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re looking forward to welcoming
everyone to the show this year, reconnecting, celebrating, and
sharing some of our latest developments.”
Some of the greatest Blizzard esports moments of all time have
taken place at BlizzCon, and this year’s show is sure to continue
that tradition. Esports highlights for BlizzCon 2019 include the
Hearthstone® Global Finals, capping off the inaugural year of
Hearthstone Grandmasters; the Overwatch® World Cup; the epic global
finals for the StarCraft® II World Championship Series; the World
of Warcraft® Arena World Championship Finals; and the inaugural
global finals of the World of Warcraft Mythic Dungeon
International.
Three BlizzCon Pass Options
Also new this year is the “BlizzCon Portal Pass,” a
separate ticket option that offers an array of perks to enhance the
BlizzCon experience, including access to Darkmoon Faire during a
new “Night at the Faire” event on the eve of BlizzCon. The Portal
Pass also includes several convenience-related extras, such as an
option to be among the first to enter the show on Friday and
Saturday, preferred parking, separate registration and security
lines, a dedicated lounge for taking a load off during BlizzCon and
mingling with Blizzard employees, and more.
In addition to the Portal Pass, the core BlizzCon Pass
will be available, offering the same full general-admission access
as in previous years—along with access to the new BlizzCon Pregame
Festivities. The BlizzCon Benefit Dinner will also be
available again this year, offering a chance to meet and chat with
developers, artists, and other folks from Blizzard the night before
the show at a laid-back charity dinner—as well as full
general-admission access to the show and all of the perks provided
with the Portal Pass. As in past years, net proceeds from the
BlizzCon Benefit Dinner go to benefit CHOC Children’s, whose
mission is to nurture, advance, and protect the health and
well-being of children.
Quantities of all three ticket types will be available in both
waves—unlike previous years, there will not be a separate wave for
the BlizzCon Benefit Dinner. The first sale will take place
Saturday, May 4, at 10:00 a.m. PDT, and the second will take place
Wednesday, May 8, at 7:00 p.m. PDT. The sale is being conducted by
online ticketing vendor AXS (details on the AXS waiting room system
and helpful tips for the purchase process can be found at
www.blizzcon.com). In addition to applicable taxes and fees,
pricing is $229 for the BlizzCon Pass, $550 for the BlizzCon Portal
Pass, and $750 for the BlizzCon Benefit Dinner.
Choice of BlizzCon Commemorative Collectible Statue
All three purchase options will include the BlizzCon in-game
goodies (to be announced), along with a choice of BlizzCon
Commemorative Collectible statue—either a mighty Orc Grunt or bold
Human Footman—in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Warcraft®.
Note that the statue selection must be made and will be locked
during the ticket-purchase process. Created in the style of the
popular Blizzard Legends series, the statues will take the place of
the Goody Bag from previous years. The statues will also be sold
separately during a limited window, starting May 4, for attendees
who would prefer to have both and for anyone else who would like to
purchase them.
Further details on this year’s BlizzCon as well as the different
ticketing options, attendee perks, the collectible statues, and
more can be found at www.blizzcon.com.
Prospective attendees can make advance hotel reservations now
and receive special BlizzCon rates by booking through the BlizzCon
hotel website.
More information about the show, including ways to watch
BlizzCon online and get this year’s in-game goodies, will be
provided in the months ahead.
