I put yes to going, but I'm still not too sure. Overall it's going to be 800-900 for round trip, food, etc. for me and I'm a college student. I can be there without interrupting classes too much(or at all if I remember correctly), so school isn't too much of a deal.
I'm stoked though, I've been waiting for this and just to be able to travel, see new things(never been to California), and be one of the few to see the new Diablo 3 stuff live would be awesome.
Fun Fact: I might bring my mommy if she's willing to pay for some of it

you kidding me? Whats your major.... art or something??
First off, i don't pay for my own music, or my own movies. 40 dollars is way steep, and people are right, why pay for something when you can get it for free. THere will be tons of online gaming magazines with video's and writeups. 40 dollars is def not worth it.

I'm doubling in Computer Science and Computer Engineering
As for what I get out of it, I get to ride one of those shiny airplanes(gas would be much more expensive, I figured by about 300-400 more). I get to be in one of the USAs largest cities, I get to see California, it's a good way to blow off steam(and by that i mean vacationing), plus lots of other things, and it's always possible to download a video and music file for a concert, but the two will never replace actually being there in person.
I don't doubt the power of torrents at all, but one thing torrents cant do just yet is give great life experiences.
And besides all that, I've always wanted to visit a Blizzcon, and what better year than the revival year of the Diablo series, which is the series I've played the most, second only to Final Fantasy(Final Fantasy will hold the gold medal on that for a while, I started that back on the SNES ;)).
Just my thoughts. I've lived in stupid Wyoming my whole life and I've never traveled much other than by car, so there's a lot more in it than just reading/watching highlights for me anyways.
I'm not going to pay money to see any of this. Unlike some, I have the patients to wait a day to see the highlights. I also know how to read and how to look up the reviews.
I disapprove of how Blizzard is going Microsoft on us. Nickel and Dime all the way
God forbid they want to pay the hundreds of people that put this thing on. HOW DARE THEY??
Let me ask you a question, did you live under power lines growing up?
I apologize, i just get sick of people accusing companies of nickel and diming on something where they usually lose their ***es on. A little known fact is that most conventions cost more than they bring in, when you figure in the cost of the building the booths materials, AV equipment, models, contests prizes, damage insurance, injury insurance and all the employee costs for temp employees to work the convention, after all is said and done the limited number of tickets sold doesn't equal that by a bit, so if they need to sell something to even the cost, why not sell lazy lethargic access over TV? That way people don't have to actually get up they can just choose buy the hit yes and watch the whole thing from home.
Alas, I have to work and i cant justify taking off just to see a video game convention. i will watch it online since i have cable. But if it were on cable i might buy it and invite some friends over and split the cost among them. best way to do pay per view that way everybody pays a little bit for it.:thumbsup:
***For anyone considering a trip to this year’s BlizzCon (October 10-11 in Anaheim, California), tickets will go on sale worldwide on Monday, August 11 for $100 each through our website***
so when exactley is this taking place... on the 10th and 11th? how is that possible if it says tickets will go on sale on the 11th... ??
Unknown at the moment. I gotta ask my contacts because with a deal such as this one with Directv it is possible they may have a contract of exclusivity.
That is exactly what my first fear was.
rbittle go make your complaints somewhere else, blizz rakes in so much money it isn't funny at all. Blizz hasn't said if they will livestream it....and dont triple post wtf?

i agree with everything youve said here.
Why pay to watch when u can watch it for free on other sites once they get the vids and info up.

Where I come from, thats what ticket prices are for
Yes, and I haven't read anything about a live stream other than Direct Tv.
I'd rather wait and see it for free in youtube.
Really, i'm not one of those freetards, but 39,95 is a little too much.
so when exactley is this taking place... on the 10th and 11th? how is that possible if it says tickets will go on sale on the 11th... ??

I'm a huge fan.. so seeing it on a stream or youtube is just not enough for me.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
