These are just for the people who want to attend BlizzCon in person. I'm pretty sure there's no waiting to purchase the live stream on the Internet.

I know we're all waiting BlizzCon for the D3 release date. But does Blizzard plan on letting us see anything else in the new future... new characters, items, etc? I noticed D3.com was down today due to construction; anyone know what that's about?

And of course, tickets are already up for sale on eBay. Just shows ya that they need to reduce the number of tickets people should be allowed to buy.

Quote from "Eldius" »
Anyone selling tickets on ebay should be identified and have their tickets immediately revoked. Blizzard said they were going to put a stop to that kind of ****.
Did they say they were going to put an end to that? Because I just checked the FAQ and based on this little snippet, I'd say they're making it pretty easy for anybody to sell them:

"What if I don't know the names of the guests I am bringing to BlizzCon?

If you do not know the names of the guests you are bringing to BlizzCon and will not know by June 13, put all of the badges under your own name. Bring *all* of the printed bar-code emails, along with your photo ID, to BlizzCon, and you will be able to pick those up all of the badges yourself and distribute them to your guests. Photo ID will only be checked at the time of badge pick-up."

Bummer, none for me yet...and what was with the time going back up halfway into the queue??? Kinda frustrating when you think you might have a chance and then it's gone before you know what happened.

Let's hope so. There are a LOT of tickets for sale on eBay already. And if people don't sell 'em on eBay, I'm sure they'll try to sell 'em on other services such as Craigslist.
