Tickets to this year's BlizzCon gaming convention, being held on August 21 and 22 in Anaheim, California, will go on sale worldwide on Saturday, May 16 for $125 each, with a second block of tickets going on sale Saturday, May 30.
For those unable to attend, DIRECTV will once again be televising BlizzCon in high definition as a Pay Per View event, featuring coverage from the show floor, exclusive interviews, demos, and more. In addition, for the first time, players around the world will be able to watch the DIRECTV BlizzCon event as a Pay Per View Internet stream.
Check out the press release for further details, and head over to www.blizzcon.com on May 16 or May 30 to buy your tickets.
Some of the notable D3 attractions so far are:
Heroes & Monsters
The hero you play and the monsters you slay take center stage in any Diablo game. Join us for a look at the design process that brings these characters and creatures to life, as well as the mechanics involved in creating epic and memorable battles.
Lore
Sit down with our lore masters as they delve into the past, present, and future of the Diablo universe. We’ll recap the story thus far, provide new information on the tale Diablo III will tell, and grant some insight into what’s in store for Sanctuary.
Art
From designing characters to creating concept art to placing the building blocks that form the world: Our artists take players on a behind-the-scenes tour of Sanctuary.
I have a feeling that the ticket sale will be like the last year, with all the collapse on the Blizzard's site and everything! It's not that far away! 3 months and 15 days left, if I'm right! I remember the reports from the last BlizzCon like it was yesterday! Good show!
at least the two waves of tickets this year will be more like half and half.
also i think the ticket queue system page detailing the steps of the purchase with the associated time limits is amusing in that it seems like they're trying to cover their asses just as much as they're trying to facilitate the ticket sales.

they'll never see me coming.. life is a sequence of tragedies, inconsistent only by fleeting, elusive moments of pleasure,
serving only to ensure absolute vulnerability to the pain of their inevitable absence.
Daemaro - Just so people know, I live in Orange, CA right next door to Anaheim, literally 10 minutes from the Convention Center. I won't be able to go, but if a couple people need a place to crash for a few days during the convention, I have a futon and a couch in the living room. Maybe I should plan a party the day before Blizzcon or the day after the last day for a Big D3 celebration.
OMFG LORE INFO!!!! HELLL YES!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!i!!!!!! IM GOONA PARTY LIKE ITS 999!

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
Blizz isn't going to release both remaining classes. Maybe 1 more class. I would assume that there will be a more refined demo to play with different quests than the first demo.

maybe keys, but no beta date. This won't go until next year's blizzcon. SC2 beta should be announced tho,
I am also looking for some preview of next acts and 1 other class at least. I would like to see some gameplay as well. I just can't get enough of the gameplay previews. More, moreeeee
